Oh my goodness I had never seen this thread before now. What memories what memories.
Games
Virtua Boy - Yep, I think I remember it. It was the one that everything was only in red right? If that's the one then it was supposed to be like the coolest thing, and then people tried it out.
Jaguar - This thing had the best graphics of any game system hands down. Then playstation came out two weeks later and this thing was forgotten forever.
Yo Noid for original Nintendo - Remember Noid the little mascot for Dominos Pizza? My brother still has his little bendable figure somewhwere. The game was so cool, you would fling your yo-yo at people.
Oregon Trail - Perhaps the first ever long term strategy game? An educational classic
Dr Brain. - Anyone else play this in elementary school? Really cool puzzles.
ZOOMBEANIES! - Another pretty cool educational game.
Heck, All the Broderbund games. I still have a few of them somewhere.
Toys
Animal car - yep I had one of those. Nothing else like it. And the claws really did work and give it more traction when needed. I played with mine in the dirt a lot and I think I eventually ruined it. I remember it had a cool TV commercial and that is why I bought it.
Stomper 4x4s - Still have a couple. Lots on eBay usually. Very cool. One AA battery, four wheel drive, aggressive tires, and driving lights.
V V Best toy ever V V
Radio Shack Super-Armatron. - I got mine out of storage a few days ago and it still works great. That thing is a marvel of engineering. Did you know all the motors are actually in the base and it is all gear driven up to the claw.
Computer
Macintosh SE - My very first computer. Had all of like four programs. My programming techer still has his. I sold mine for $50 in 1998.
Hyperstudio - A really cool program. I'm not sure what kind of program you call it but if you've ever used it I'm sure you would agree it was neat.
ClarisWorks - Remember this Word Processor for Mac? What ever happened to it?
The optical harddisk - made by 3M it used light to read and write files. I got a never opened 1GB one a couple years ago and still have it.
television
Land of the Lost - yep. one of my favorites back in the day.
Legends of the Hidden Temple - This was a great NICK game show that no one mentioned yet. Remember with that talking wall face Ol Mec
A lot of these nick shows are still on one of the nick channels I get on digital cable.
Well, I think I got all the one's I recognized and remembered from my childhood. Thanks for bringing back those great memories. This is a great thread.
Hey post after me here if there's something I mentioned that you remember or had. Thanks.
