Big boomer energy. At 7 in 1989 I had an NES and also did this with a box fan. Just yesterday, I saw my 7 year old son, who now has access to a Switch, Xbox 360, PS2, SNES, and NES, do this with a box fan.

Well, we could wander around all day long and no one cared all that much. Now kids have airtags up their rears so parents know their exact coordinates every 5 minutes...

Honest question from an older person who never had a box fan: how did you play with them?

You scream into them and they make your voice all wobbly

I will reveal to you an arcane forbidden technique. Hold your hand in front of your face. Though check first to see if there is anyone mischievous about. Palm towards you, fingers pressed together. Close to your face, preferably less than 5cm or so away. Then wave your hand as fast as you can while cursing.

You can also put a bedsheet over it and make a bubble house

Dude, a box fan was a wicked good time! Weliked to kick it up a notch and throw flour in there, pennies etc. Hilarious!
