When we saw that #I'mOldEnoughToRememberWhen was trending, we panicked. While we adore being offered reminders of the good old days, nobody enjoys being reminded of the daily passing of time.

Some of the gems we found gave us a good laugh, so we've curated a list of our top 20 favourite nostalgia thirst posts, and if you can't relate to any of them then get OUT of this article immediately.

No young ones allowed. We're off to play Crash Bandicoot on our Playstations and message weird fonts to our friends on MSN. If we get time, we'll send our friends 'luv' on Bebo too.

Ever have that awkward moment when you meet a new friend and they're a diehard Xbox fan and you're… a Playstation gamer. It sucks.

Lads are usually more of the gaming type but with more and more scope for women these days, the ladies are playing just as much as the lads.

And now, we can all play together – no matter what device you have.

PC and Xbox One gamers will soon be able to compete in the same game (Rocket League) together and Microsoft has also hinted that Playstation compatibility is about to come along, too.

Cross-network play has happened before with PC and Xbox 360 with games like Shadowrun, but Xbox boss Chris Carla explained that it's going to be better than before:

"In addition to natively supporting cross-platform play between Xbox One and Windows 10 games that use Xbox Live, we're enabling developers to support cross-network play as well.

"This means players on Xbox One and Windows 10 using Xbox Live will be able to play with players on different online multiplayer networks – including other console and PC networks."
