It was first used in '86 with Gradius, but wasn’t popularized until the 90’s. Most notably with Contra on the NES, which released only a year after Gradius.
I mean the whole logic of the thread is that if you know one word you can make people think you lived in the 90’s. Like, you think some 10 year old born in 2013 couldn’t just find some 90’s media and say a popular catch phrase?
That’s 80s.

It was well-known to me in the 80s, at least. The fact that both those games are NES games makes it firmly 80s, in my mind.
Also, to be fair here, even if you recognize stuff from the 80’s, and you’re still around now, then you definitely lived through the 90’s. lol
Yes, but by that logic, I could say I remember the moon landing and it proves I lived through the 90s.

Of course, but I expect a thread about the 90s to have stuff from the 90s, not earlier.
Fully agree there. :)
