actually...here in Jersey (or at least North Brunswick) Spree is still a common sight....though Watchamacallits are a rare treat only to be found in the Dollar Tree store on occassion. <sigh> I miss Watchamacallits..those were the best.

and what about Oh Henry bars?

I still run a K6-2 400MHz, as a server, running Debian.

ROTT ruled. I had a pair of CrystalEyes Simuleyes shutter-style stereo glasses. Playing Descent 2 with those ruled. X-Wing, Tie Fighter, my Logitech Wingman (two button, three axis), and a pair of high-quality headphones... Those were the days...

TGIF was awesome, when it was awesome. Family Matters, Boy Meets World... the rest of the shows escape me... But I definetly do remember loving those shows.

Ghost Writer was awesomely awesome, too. I remember watching the first episode, with the gang of video game playing, double face wearing, flashlight carrying punks, who stole either Jamal's, or the girl's, backpack, which was later recovered.

Oh Henry! bars, Whatchamacalit bars, and Spree are all common occurences here, but we're right by Chicago.

The fact that I have to drive 80 miles for some Mallo Cups... ridiculous.

Duuuude! Crossfire! I got that for my best friend down the street as a birthday present as a kid. That game was rockin!

Jurassic Park in theatres... I just remember seeing ads for it.

I know it isn't really old school, but does anyone remember Nintendo's failure-system, the Virtua Boy? I almost bought one of those things. It was so cool... Wario ruled on that thing!

I remember matchbox cars in a time before all these newfangled tracks and whatnot. Back when they were just cool to play traffic jam with.

And Home Alone! What a great movie.

I really miss old school Doug. And Porkchop. And the nematoads. And the Beets. And Skeeter. *honk honk!*

My friend got Pretty Pretty Princess for Christmas. She forced me into playing it on Halloween, and we have some hilarious pictures of me winning the game, with all the jewelry on. (This was all this... er last... year.)

Ah man, this brings back so many memories.

TV Shows

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are awesome, and they have a new series that aired on Fox Box. Donatello is the coolest! I mean, he makes several gadgets, that awesome blimp jet thingy, and the sewer slider (that huge van with the weapons on it or something). I am still a die-hard fan today.

No one can forget about Inspector Gadget. He was such a klutz, but as soon as he busted out with his, "Go Go Gadget Helicopter," it was Game Over for the baddies. Poor chief with the, "This letter will self destruct in five seconds," routine. Priceless.

Pee-Wees playhouse was awesome for one reason: his giant aluminum foil ball (very impressive). Oh and I almost forgot about his awesome scooter.

Yet the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers first season was awesome
!! The series was at its best with the Green Ranger (Tommy). I even has his autograph. His knife that also dubbed as a flute, to call out that huge dragon from the lake of a nearby power plant. Very impressive. The robot vs. monster battles were cool. Each time a Power Ranger (in person) takes a hit, sparks flies off its chest, as they fly in the air with an insane somersault or something.

Transformers had to be one of the coolest series, with the most awesomest toys. The idea that a toy is actually three toys in one is pretty cool. Like one moment it is a jet, then a mech, and then a hand gun, has a great quality to it.

I still have all of my action figures in my room such as GI Joe, Transformers, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and many more. Oh, and still have all my Nintendo stuff. Mario is still the best.

I actually still have the Shedder and Splinter action figures at home somewhere...and I think I have the turtles too.
hee hee.. I also remember we used to have two pet turtles we named Michealngelo and Donatello ..'cuz they had colored bands around their eyes just like the Ninja Turtles. <sigh> too bad my brother accidentally left the lamp too close to them and fried them.

does anyone remember the Pound Puppies cartoon? I always liked watching Gummi Bears. they got to drink this magic potion that would make the bounce all over the place. it was funny!

I don't recall that one off hand, but I do remember "You can't do that on television.

Also I remember back in the day, George Carlin as the conductor on Shining Time Station with Thomas the Tank engine.

Does anyone remember the electronic football game with the red dots as your players??

I remember virtua boy, I thought the graphics sucked back then. Remember the Sega Nomad??

How about choose your own adventure books?

Some of those endings gave me nightmares...

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.

I got the Vegasaurus ONCE. It was random, and he soon broke out of the pens (I used concrete and electrified it).

Anyway....

Yes, I remember Legends of the Hidden Temple, best game show. They still have it on Nick GAS Network, sometimes when I have nothing to do, I sit down and watch it.

As for computer games, my all time classic favorite is Lemmings, especially Lemmings Chronicals.

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!
