I know I'm still what you lot might consider a young'un at the tender age of 27, but I have been having a massive attack of nostalgia recently. See, I grew up with a Commodore 64/128, played with marbles and jacks, and can actually remember a time before the Internet existed, unlike most others my age or close to my age. Check this old gem out:
What about you guys? What old games and things take you back? And how does it make you feel? Personally, I get a little depressed, because things have changed pretty drastically in the past quarter of a century or so, and it seems like the world is getting a lot more crowded and busy and impersonal. On the other hand I get more than my fair share of warm fuzzies from all those good old times revisited. It's not all bad, but it does make me a little saddened. I miss my C64...

I remember when all phones were rotary dial. And you could kill an intruder with the hand set if you hit them with it.
I remember being one of the first in my neighbourhood to get a color TV, my dad was a repair man.
I remember watching man walk on the moon.
I barely remember when Kennedy died.
Funny though. My grand father would have remembered the Wright brothers flight. He was born in 1898 only 30 years after the civil war
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
I remember my dad had one of those old channel-dial-knob black and white TVs when I was little, and I remember when everyone had landline, corded phones and cells only existed as the communicator from TOS.
We had a rotary phone too, but it was my grandmother's old one from when she was younger so I guess that doesn't count.

I remember an age before radial tires, and cable TV. I rememer when you took math in school you actually had to sdd it up in your head, calculators were not allowed.
I remember Noah and the flood

Ditto here. But I still have my Harvest Gold colored Bell System Wall phone. That thing is built like the proverbial brick sh*thouse. Still works too!
Now my grandparents remembered radio, automobiles, WWII and the Depression mostly, back when they were still alive in my youth.

I remember when there was only 3 TV channels and they all went to white noise at midnight, right after playing the Star Spangled Banner! and weather radar was a black screen that lit up the clouds everytime it passed for a second or 2 and you knew it was gonna rain in 30-60 minutes
I remember when businesses closed on Sundays. 7/11 stores were some of the first businesses to break that barrier.
I also remember my Atari 2600 and that I got addicted to Breakout and Asteroids. Google's got it now as a time waster when you do a search for "atari breakout".
What other C64 games did you play?
