Re: The nostalgia thread or "Do you remember?" or All things old.

TV shows- I watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Religously, Also liked Clarrisa explains it all, sAlute your shorts, and Hey dude, and lots of others previously mentioned.

Computer Games- Oregon Trail was my favorite. I also had a sonic the hedge hog game I loved until our computer got to advanced for the game and I couldnt play it anymore

Toys- Anyone remeber tinker toys. And I had tons of legos. And about three sets of marble racers. I got bored one day and wanted to see if it worked with water too. And pool noodles. My grandma has a pool and she bought about 50 of them and my cousins and I would have competitions to see who could make the best rafts out of them.

Food- Anyone remeber eating Dunkaroos?

Wow. I had forgotten about a lot of this stuff.

Allison

Yep, and I have a number of interesting stories related to it... including the blob of it that was stuck to the cieling in the stairwell going downstairs for over 3 years. We forgot about it until we moved out, at which time we scraped it down with a garden hoe and repainted the cieling.

Re: The nostalgia thread or "Do you remember?" or All things old.

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.

Re: The nostalgia thread or "Do you remember?" or All things old.

I used to love the Sit and Spin!!!!! My brother and I would just spin and spin on that thing until we couldn't take it anymore and fall off!!!!

I also remember when Tonka trucks were metal instead of the plastic they are now. My dad built us a 12' X 12' sandbox because we had so many Tonka trucks!

I used Hyperstudio back in 5th grade to make a presentation thing on the Checks and Balances of the Federal government. I've on and off at really random times wondered if that is floating around on a disk somewhere...

Hyperstudio was used to create html documents in a classroom setting before the web took off. In otherwords, stand alone websites.

So cool.

Re: The nostalgia thread or "Do you remember?" or All things old.

Speaking of old school computer games, I used a program called Kid-Pix on the apple II E's at school in like 7th grade for every project I did!!

Anyone remember that? Or does anyone know if it still around and possibly available for Windows based computers?

I still have not only the disks, but the box it came in.
They are on 5 1/4" disks though. The hard part will be to find a 5.25 drive.

I still have a stack of 3 or 4 of them here. I think only 1 of them is high density though, the others are either double or low density.

I saw a site posted on slashdot a while back that had instructions to turn them into little robots. Pretty neat little things.

Kid Pix was my fav computer program, prolly my only one too. I had the windows version but dont know if it is still sold. I still have all the software. I personally liked the dynamite that cleared the screen, very exciting.

Re: The nostalgia thread or "Do you remember?" or All things old.

Another revived (again) thread by yours truely.

Ok, so I was looking through a catalog circa 1992(?) and I saw something in there that everyone I knew who owend a car had, but never used.
I actually remember them more prevelent in the 80's but whatever...

It's called the auto blaster, and it would make a noise or something, when you pushed one of the many buttons on it.

Sounds would include, an incoming missle and it exploding, a ray gun sound, a grenade explosion, machine gun and a random emergency wail..
(No matter what brand blaster you would buy, the sounds were the same.)
I guess those were the only sounds available on a cheap transducer (sound chip) back in the day.

Anyone else remember those or still have one?

Also, does anyone remember the keychains that when you whistle would make a noise. My cousins and I used to play with my uncle's keys for hours on eend, hiding them on each other and whistling to find them. Turns out the batteries were pretty good and it lasted a whole week that way.

Re: The nostalgia thread or "Do you remember?" or All things old.

EVIL dead thread reviver!

Well, looking through this thread gave me some nostalgia. I also saw a comment about the Power Rangers in there. Man, before the second movie, they absolutely rocked (and Space was okay, but by the time that came, I was turned off). So a few months ago, I was channel surfing on a Saturday morning. I came to the latest spinoff of the Power Rangers. It's called "Power Rangers: Dino Thunder". I figured it's been awhile, so why not? Turns out it was the premier episode. And who do I see? None other than the original green ranger, now a doctor in
paleontology, and a mentor to the rangers (apparently, they reduced their numbers to 3). They seem to be returning to their roots, and aiming it at the young teenager crowd. We have bio-zords now (using dinosaurs of course). The CGI is also great. It was a nice blast of nostalgia. Let's just say I've been catching it every week. The siblings (both under 10) seem to enjoy it too.

Oh, and Crystal Pepsi. I absolutely loved that.

This is a great thread. I just read it now and it brought back a lot of memories. I'm glad it's back and didn't die.......yet!

I still have my Garbage Pail Kids. I remember wanting to go to the store every week and get more.

Anyone remember My Little Pony? My sister had these and I used to take them and hide them on her. They had different colored mains and tails that you could brush and one thing I thought about but never did was cut them off on her!

One toy of my sister's I always liked and played with was Vultron. It was five different colored lions that could join together into one large one. She had all five lions, black, green, yellow, red, and blue. I don't remember what they all signified but green was forrest (land), yellow was volcano, and blue was water. Vultron had started out as a cartoon.

I had Lionel trains permanently set up in the rec room downstairs to play with. I used to use my Matchbox, Hot Wheels, Corgi cars and even Legos on the train board. These Matchboxs were regular looking cars, no fancy paint schemes like today. I had a lot of "normal everyday" looking cars like station wagons, sedans, pick ups, vans, ect. I still have the trains, Legos, and Matchbox/Hot Wheels. Everything is packed away except for the trains which come out during the Christmas season to run around the tree.
I also used to play with the metal Tonka trucks I had outside. I had a dumptruck I would sit in and ride down the street. I no longer have these trucks, I gave them away to a cousin when I got older. I do have one funny story though with them. You know the sound a zipper makes in a clothes dryer? Well one day I decided to put the trucks in there to dry them off after they got wet being left outside. I'll leave it to your imagination what 3 metal trucks sounded like in there! Wow, just think of the things you did as a kid.

Re: The nostalgia thread or "Do you remember?" or All things old.

Speaking of nostalgia, I got to experience it quite a bit today while we disposed a whole 20 ft long construction dumpster's worth of old school district computers. I was in a quite nostalgic mood so I picked up a Macintosh Classic and brought it home to save it from the junkyard. We also tossed (literally) a bunch of "Power PC" Macs and Mac IIC's and there was even an Apple IIE with integrated keyboard.
