After years of searching, we finally got our hands on a coveted vintage 80s treasure... DARK TOWER! This amazing strategy game was only produced for one year back in 1981. We both grew up playing and LOVING IT until it disappeared from store shelves and eventually became extinct. Tonight we'll be setting up the board, firing up the old tower, and playing for the first time since 1980-something. Get ready for an exciting and nostalgic game night! 🔴 SUBSCRIBE to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/ourgenxlife?sub_confirmation=1 🔴 WATCH MORE - Retro 80s Fun & Games: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWh-RJ-D1iWW-1ZnF_-FbcZ86enNIqAhC 🔴 ICYMI - Dungeons & Dragons Vintage Electronic Game: https://youtu.be/klc9e3oAlBw 💌 Email us: ourgenxlife@gmail.com We want to hear from you!

We're diving deep into some 80s nostalgia today, reading real handwritten notes that we passed in class with our best friends! Remember when the texting was just paper and pen? Get ready for some retro vibes and laughs! My Gen X school friends join me for this special episode as we read our old notes for the first time since the 1980s. I can't believe my friend Allison kept ALL the notes we passed to each other back in middle school, but I'm SO thankful she did. They are loaded with nostalgia and absolutely hysterical! If you've ever wondered what school life was like back in the 80s, here's a glimpse into the minds of some silly Gen-X girls.

Back in the late 1970s, I came home from daycare and begged my mom to buy the "meat sticks" like they served at school. She had no idea what I was referring to, and then one day on a trip to the grocery store, I spotted the canned meat in question and solved the mystery... it was SPAM! 🔴 SUBSCRIBE to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/ourgenxlife?sub_confirmation=1 🔴 WATCH FULL EPISODE - Nostalgic School Memories: https://youtu.be/2tTAtAercN0 💌 Email us: ourgenxlife@gmail.com We want to hear from you!

Welcome to our NEW podcast, Gen X Files! This is a place for proud members of Generation X to share their stories with the modern world. We got a story from Dani which involves a bicycle accident and delayed trip to the hospital for stitches because she didn't want to interrupt her mom's long-distance phone call. Our generation tried really hard to be independent and self-sufficient whenever possible, but sometimes we still needed help from our parents. 🔴 SUBSCRIBE to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/ourgenxlife?sub_confirmation=1 🔴 WATCH FULL EPISODE: https://youtu.be/PbNzOwKyhT0 💌 Email us: ourgenxlife@gmail.com We want to hear from you!
