I was born in the 60s ... So the 90s, although still being a nice decade, it was not part of my childhood.
For me the most memorable thing about the 90s is the invention of the internet.
I have been having an internet account and email address ever since 1993, I was among the early adopters!
Of course, by today standard, the first few websites that were available back then, were kind of small, static, and very slow to load through a 9600 baud Hayes modem!

Nop, nop. At that time there was also AOL American online which was like Prodigy an entire close environment, mostly text base. I believe AOL was at the time the biggest and by far. But I was not a subscriber of neither because connecting to those service from where I live required at the time the use of long-distance calls to the nearest connecting point. A proposition that was unbelievably expensive at the time, in the order of 30 cent a minute which would be like $2 a minute today, and you have to remember that the net was very slow using a modem. It took something like 3 to 5 minutes just to download something similar to a VGA picture on the AMIGA who was able at the time to display 4096 color at VGA resolution while the PC AT was limited to 16 colors! At the time I was using that same computer, the Amiga 1000 to connect to the university computer in order to upload and download text files, mostly programs that were written in Pascal or Fortran77 using Kermit. That was also a very slow process. At least, because of that I could work from my apartment and not spent entire nights in the computer labs. Then in 1990 I got an IBM PC AT using DOS 3.3 but my first access to the internet in 1993 was done using my Amiga with the old 1200 baud modem and using a program call MOSAIC which was among the first browser available. That was even before Netscape. That program was working on Amiga and PC plus a bunch of other kinds of computers. Then came windows 95 and 98 which was a game changer along with faster modems, and finally the Netscape browser which was way faster. The rest is history!
Not really, I was not a video game player, never been. However the games I had at that time were more of the Amiga kinds which were arcade game ports like Zaxxon, marble madness, asteroids, Chess 2000, etc. None of those are listed in the 100 greatest Amiga games. I've seen the other great game since my little brother was more into it than I was. You have to remember that back then there was no internet and to get those game, you either had to buy them or get pirated version from places like AOL or Prodigy. For my IBM computer, what today they call PC or Winbox, never had any game on them, like the one I'm using right now. Again, my brother was into those first persons 3D shooter game like Quake and the like. I never play those as I get motion sickness looking at the screen. So, the only machine I bought specifically for playing games was the Xbox (the original version) which I still own, and the two games I could say I've played with was Splinter Cell, and Lords of the rings on the Xbox. I do have a bunch of other Xbox titles but never really played with them. I could even add that I have not played or touch a video game for at least the past 15 years! Sorry I could not be more informative
'80s kid/'90s teen here. For a lot of us Xennials who were teens in the late '90s, LAN parties and Evil Dead marathons reigned supreme. The early '90s saw some awesome entertainment like MTV's Liquid Television and innovative vidya games like Another World (aka 'Out of This World' which is the title most of us are probably famils with), Flashback, and Doom. Also the transition from 8-bit to 16-bit. PC gaming continued to go crazy-go-nuts throughout the mid and late '90s.
