I'd always end up going in circles with Goosebumps choose your own adventures.

Speaking of which, Goosebumps rocked! I still have several Goosebumps tshirts/sweaters... I'm wearing a shirt for Bad Hare Day right now, and if I weren't so lazy I could tell you what book number it was by looking at the back of my shirt.

Anyone remember DinoPark Tycoon? How do you get the Vegasaurus? I can't figure it out! (I have a copy on my computer.)

And Skip It! or whatever it was called. It was basically a little ball with a counter that you'd put on one leg and skip over, and it'd count how many times you could make it around.

And I remember back when pool noodles first came out.

Does anyone have the Super Blaster or whatever the bazooka-looking gun for SNES was called? I need some good games to buy for it.

Ha ha ha!! Skip it, oh man I remember that??

Who remembers koosh balls??? The balls made from rubber spaghetti!!

Oh and in the line of Skip it, remember the toy with the ball in the center and a pedastal mounted on the center of the ball?? Maybe Hop It or something like that. It kind of looked like the planet Saturn. You stood (or tried to stand) on the outer platform and hopped on the ball part. I ruled at that!!!

Still I haven't heard back from anyone that remembers the M.A.S.K. cartoon and the toys.

I remember MASK-not very well, but there was a truck with a cab that came up, right?

And what do you have against Q-Bert? It's no Legend of Zelda, but still, fun stuff.

Finally, someone remembers MASK!! w00t!!!

I have two of the 57 chevy's that turned into a 6 wheeler!!

Oh and my problem with Q-bert is simple, the angle in wich you viewed the sreen was very awkward.

Excite-bike was the best!!!!! Remember the custom track layout? That ruled!

I actually still have all of those games on my ancient Mac. But I don't remember if it was Number munchers or Super Muncher I had. And I really am not in the mood for re-assembling my Mac tonight. Maybe in 2 weeks when I am not busy catching up on school work in the like 2 days I have before Long Island.

Haha, back in school, those were the things to have!
I was in the 'gifted and talented' program in my elementary school, so they would pluck us out from class and let us play Oregon Trail for a couple hours a day. We had a ton of odd old computer remnants everywhere, and we just got to mess around.
My eyes would hurt so bad from the greenscreens...

You ask elementary school kids nowadays about greenscreens and Oregon Trail, and they're like, "You mean you DIDN'T have DSL back then?" ...sigh...

I'm glad you mentioned atari, amanda.
Pitfall was the best game ever, not to mention how cheap the rest of the games were. We probable had 40 games my grandpa had gotten from Sears (*Its closed now).

I see no one has mention the Care Bears.

With the greenscreens, does anyone else remember a racing game where you moved by solving math equations. If you finish 100 questions you finished the race. That was great.

Oh and there was a computer quiz we took in middle school that was always great. Everytime you got a correct answer it would say neato burrito, or other things.

I believe the name of that game is Math Trax Racer. Yeah I have played most of these old school educational games back in elementary school. Though my favorite was one where you answer simple math problems like multiplication, and division and for each question you answer correctly would give you ammunition (bullets, missiles, bombs) and fuel for a jet. You would have to find and blow up a flag hidden somewhere in the level, and then land safely. There were helicopters, turrets, and battleships that would fire at your jet (one hit and you are gone). I got up to level 4 at the time, but was only given an hour each week to play the game. I cannot remember the name right now.

Probably not as good as this game: click here

Zoom used to be a great show. Then they redid it, and it's not nearly the same as it used to be.
