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 ![]() |

Do you know how hard it is to find them nowadays??? My brother has a new one and it took us a few months to track it down!! And there was the time we were cleaning out a facility (that was used to make animatronic figures) to use to build our robot and we found a life size version of one of the robots... How cool is that?? But.. like all good things, it wasn't ours to have so it was gone the next day we came in... ![]() |

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! |

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! ![]() - Katie |

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. |

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. |

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> Last edited by Vincent Chan : 10-03-2003 at 22:05. |
