I used to have the Pog maker. And someday i have to get a picture of RAGE's practice facility... Wait no that is right RAGE's Toy Store. Yeah we decided that we would sort toys for the Connecticut Toys for Tots program and we thought they would be out by end of December. Well we still have all couple of thousand of them. Many are games previously mentioned here. Such as Don't Break the Ice and Cooties. Along with Candyland, Sorry, Monopoly and a whole bunch of others.

Dude, you ought to make team pogs to give out at competitions... and maybe charge other teams (though not too much) for pogs with their team designs on them.

It'd be a good fundraiser, stealing other teams' money and only giving them cardboard in return.

Rock'em Sock'em Robots

I remember one of my brothers had this toy in the 80s. It was a lot of fun! It sure beat the stupid dolls I always got...

Since most of the kids in robotics now are from the 80's the best song for this is "Babies of the 80's" because it pretty much describes all the things from the 80's, which brings back nostalgia.

I'd have to say "Are you afraid of the dark?" or back when MTV showed music videos, the good kind.

Ah, Are You Afraid of the Dark. Great show. Guts was newer, but also a great show to watch. The crag. Heh.

I hear MTV2 shows those good ol' music videos from the early-mid nineties.

Rock on! The Green Ranger rocked, after that..it went downhill.

Talking

Ya know, I was just thinking about this in the shower... and I realized that watch you watch on TV as a kid has a large effect on how you turn out as you get older.

I know that a lot of you will agree that we've all become a tad like a show many of us used to like. My point, and what we've all become can be illustrated by just two of the greatest lines in television (character names omitted for nostalgic effect):

1) What are we doing tonight?
2) The same thing we do every night: try to take over the world!

<edit>Ya know, I'm spending way too much time in this thread. <grin></edit>

Sometimes when I swing, I remember Are You Afraid of the Dark's opening theme. When I was seven I watched the episode Pinball Wizard (no, not the Who) and didn't watch it again until years later because I was scared. The show still scared me sometimes years later, (that smoking clown!) but not as badly. Submitted for your approval at the Midnight Society...

Let's go to the scoreboard, Mo!

The PB Wizard episode! I still remember that! And the one with the vampires with a basement full of bottles full of blood, that one always scared me.

Man, you kids make me feel old! I guess that means I've officially joined the 'mentors are old people' group of FIRST... (I'll catch some flak for that one.)

I had never even thought of Rock'em Sock'em Robots until Brandon said something about them. When I was a kid, the robots and the game Crossfire were, by far, the coolest darn things ever.

I remember my Atari and my tooth game, which nobody seems to remember. You had to fight the cavities... and no, I'm not insane, this was really a game. I had all the classics, Centipede, you name it. And then, my parents had a garage sale.

I was a Barbie fiend and was obsessed with Pound Puppies. My Cabbage Patch doll was my best friend. I also had a 'Mooseltoe' stuffed animal, that I still sleep with in my dorm room. Anyone remember those? They were HUGE when I was about 2 or 3.. you know, back in the Dark Ages.

Even candy was different. While dropping off one of my students in Knox, Indiana, I went to a gas station that carried Zagnut bars, Clark bars, Zero bars, and even the big bricks of Bit O'Honey. Needless to say, I bought ten dollars worth of old school candy alone.

I just have a few things to say...

Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, cartoons, video games, action figures, comic books, children's books... They're all great. I still have a lot of the action figures.

Every once in a while, I get real nostalgic and play TMNT4: Turtles In Time under zsnes (I lost the SNES cart )

Z-Bots. Pogs. Transformers. X-Men. Batman: The Animated Series. Saved By The Bell. Doom. My old 12MB Voodoo2 (I'm going to encase it in lucite, eventually). Dial-up internet access (Netcom owned). The time when MTV didn't suck as much as it does now (the first music video I ever saw was Green Day - Basketcase, followed by Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun). Sonic The Hedgehog, Super Mario Brothers (video games, tv shows, etc). Sega Genesis, SNES, Virtual Boy (Yeah, I had one of those ), Gameboy. My K6-2 300MHz (3DNow! + Voodoo2 + Quake2 = pure beauty). And last, but definetly not least, one of the most sentimentally meaningful things ever in my life, Kiri Te Kanawa's rendition of Blue Skies.

Come on now!! Blasphemy!! How about Wolfenstein and Blake Stone? How about Raptor, Duke Nukem, Zone 66? The games that required at least 580k of conventional memory, where we all tweaked the hell out of our config.sys' and autoexec.bat's to squeeze every last kilobyte out to make games run smoother. Anyone remember "Memmaker" in DOS 6.22? How about the days of 2 and 4x cd-rom drives, 386's, DOS IPX games of Doom, Rise of the Triad, etc. My first computer was a Tandy RSX 1000, 25mhz 386sx, 2 megs RAM, 52 meg hard drive, no cd-rom drive, 1.44mb floppy. Great stuff, still have it, still use it once in a while.

Whoa...I miss my younger days. I remember the huge floppy disks..when cd's didn't even exist or if they did they were expensive as heck.

Are You Afraid of the Dark was the best show ever. I was soo scared by some of those. I laughed at the Pinball Wizard one though because I was older when I saw it. I also remember the original power rangers and I must say, I had the hugest crush on Billy. The day him and Kimbrley left..the tv world died for me. I miss them still. sigh..

Snap Braclets! I remember those.

Remember pulling your hair up into buns around your ears to be princess lia (however it's spelled) or wearing a heandband over your eyes to be that one guy from Star Trek (the black one whose name escapes me)

The very first song I ever heard and liked was Kissed By a Rose by Seal. Which I still love to this day.

I miss playing house with my two best friend, both which were girls, and not understanding why my older brother looked at us weird when we said that instead of my friend having one mommy and one daddy she had TWO mommies. We were six...what did we know?

Pretty Pretty Princess was the best board game for little girls and I must say that Checkers will never die.

Does anyone remember Ghost Writer? I saw it recently on Noogin in the morning on Nick (at like 6:30 est a year ago) but havn't seen it since. I loved that show.

Maybe I was a weird kid but does anyone remember making mud pies and/or playing in the mud puddles before your mom yelled? I miss those days.

I sometimes wish I was younger again so I could throw a fit and actually get my way.
