I have a disorder where I have to make it known how much I appreciate things, and if I replied to everyone's posts on this topic at once, I would explode, between the Double Dare DOS game and the Duck Hunt (still play it) and the Rocko's Modern Life...and so much more. I would just die.

If Classic Nick were a channel it would be flooded with high-school aged fans like me who miss the shows like Nick Arcade and The Adventures of Pete and Pete (both on Noggin now).

As for me? Well...besides 90% of the stuff people already mentioned... *restrains from comment*

I remember... ... renting Sega genesis games like Sonic Spinball and Bubsy for $2.11 (1.99 plus 6%) at Albertsons.

I would mention hundreds more but I still enjoy them today. I'm staying a kid as long as I can.

Pete and Pete was the best! I was such a fan of Artie..strongest man ..in the WORLD! woohoo!

I remember also watching David the Gnome.
and there was this one show..where in the beginning, this guy would be walking through fields and crawl through a large hollow log and get into this really cool hang out place in the woods. but I don't remember what it was called...anyone know what the heck I'm talking about?

I think I either had one, or just remember it because my little sister has one. Maybe both.

Remember Colorforms?? They were a fake way to make art. The vinyl pieces stuck to a cool background and then you could do it all over again.

Or how about "Wooly Willy", the cardboard base dude with the magnetic shavings for hair, mustach, sideburns, etc.

Ooo boy, shark attack was sweet, with that giant shark that kept going in circles trying to eat your fish.

My favorite was "Hungy Hungry Hippos" heh when my brothers and I would play as young kids we would get so violent with that the game "board" would shake and then it would turn into a Fluck Bros fist fight/wrestling match. ahh the good ol' days

Speaking of fist-fight...

Anybody remember that game with the two fighting robots(?) where you hit a button, and they punched each other. The winner popped the other robots head off. I don't remember the name .. but it was pretty fun, I guess

Not really a pasttime, but remember when fast food places actually had shakers at your table instead of prepackaged salt and pepper?

Speaking of computers, I remember my first one. Got an old IBM that ran at 33 mhz on turbo mode, 13 on normal. It's up in the attic.

I miss old school Power Rangers. None of that In Space, Roam the Galaxy, or Romping through the Daisies crap. Just straight up Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. All the way up to the end of the Green Ranger.

Not many kids at my school remember Pete 'n Pete. It's depressing, really.

I miss Eureka's Castle on Nick Jr. I remember the dinosaur's blanket with dots that moved. I always used to wonder why the dots on my blanket wouldn't move.

And the board game Sorry! That ruled. It was like Parchisi with cards.

...and a time when Michael Jackson was actually cool. Those were the days.

It's a THRILLER! THRILLER NIGHT!

Now in all fairness, I personally can't say I remember that, so my earliest FIRST memory would have to be when robot-tipping (or "flipping") was legal.

I remember when Sonic the Hedgehog and Mario had competing cartoons. How about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Classic cartoonage (if that's even a word).
Wow sonic was a great game... all of them brought back memories of not being able to get past the third zones in any of them...

just recently i found my old gensis and games... there no chalenge any more...

... but they are still fun...

even "The Lion King"!!!

I still have my glowworm, and quite a few of those afformentioned games... I also miss some of the older shows on Nickelodeon, but some of the newer stuff is cool too. Spongebob is still EVIL!, but The Rugrats are still cool.

I'm suprised nobody has brought this one up yet: remember Pogs? I still have tons of those sitting upstairs somewhere.

Pogs, ah yes. I have many, many, many boxes of those. How about Beanie Babies? I have drawers full of those in my room! I really should look into selling those.

Vincent Chan: I think the guy who played (the older) Pete is in the movie 40 Days and 40 Nights as "the bagel guy". We were watching the movie at Chelly's last night and I said, "Hey! Isn't that the guy from Pete 'n Pete??" and everyone just gave me this weird look. ::sigh:: They don't know what they're missing!
