I was somewhat jealous of my friends who had the Sega Genesis as I only had a Nintendo. It wasn't a strong feeling of jealousy though as video games weren't that important to me but what made me really jealous was when my friend's family got a computer. It just seemed so cool and I really wanted one. At that time computers were pretty useless though as there was no internet, games were pretty slow and crappy and we actually used it quite a bit for looking at Encyclopedia Britannica. I was jealous that they had the opportunity to type up reports while I was still hand writing things.
