marble rollers... the thing where you build the big tower of tubes and slides and dump like 20 marbles in it and watch them roll down... and "key force" the cars and motorcycles you put the key in and they transform into planes and helicopters...McDonalds had little toys of them for awhile...

*sniff* i miss the good ol days the best part of it all was the afternoon naps in kindergarten but thats just me

I actually have plastic sunglass type things that look like the vision-wear the Star Trek guy wore (I had to wear it for a play in sixth grade where I was an alien from outer space).
And I loved Ghost Writer. I actually bought a pen on a rope so I could be like them.

...anyone remember the show Land of the Lost....or even Dinosaurs? and who remembers when T.G.I.F. actually consisted of entertaining shows?

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.
Eh, you're not so weird. I seem to remember getting into trouble for bombing our neighbors' house with mud pies... but they really were mean people and deserved every last drop of mud coating their windows and siding...

And there was a big field at the end of our street that would have great big mud puddles after it rained. We would place plywood in the middle of the biggest puddle and pretend it was a boat and we were explorers or pirates... If it was after a really heavy rain storm, we could even get our "boat" to move around!

You know, I would never want to live my childhood over again, but sometimes I would like to go back for just a day.

Who's house did Eurkel crash into when he tested out his jet pack in the Wilson's house after they replaced the roof there?? Did he crash into the house from Step By Step or another show? Also Remember the show "Perfect Strangers"?? That was a good one!!

Back to some cool toys, remember pillow people??? I think I had one and my cousin had one that looked like a window.

amandabean, I remember Mooseltoe, and do you remember spree and whatchamacallit candies???

What about stompers??? Those were little AA battery controlled cars that would go anywhere, even in the bath tub, (Wait a minute, electric toys in the tub???? What were we thinking?)

I remember the first "grown up" movie I saw was The Breakfast Club when I was like 7 or 8. I went to see ET at the Drive in when my power at my house went out one night.

I remember playing zaxxon and carnival on my coleco vision and seeing THIS MESSAGE almost every time I "forgot" to turn it off before I put in my game.

I remember the FIRST Video game system I owned had 8bits of power, Nintendo Power!!! My first game I had was RC Pro Am and <icky>Q-BERT<icky/>.

I remember playing games with my cousins like "My mother went to the store and bought, (Insert a product here that begins with A, then repeat and Insert B product, etc.)

I remember when Tonka Trucks were my whole life, then I graduated to GI Joe and the Aircraft carrier and all the cool toys that came with it. I never did get The Bridge Layer or the Special Edition Sgt. Slaughter though.

I watched Ghost Writer religiously, it was the best show on tv for soooo long, especially the episode about the girl who was a hacker, that was so awesome.

And TGIF, who could forget, does anyone remember the original lineup, i'm having trouble remembering.


Also, did anyone watch the math show Square One?

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.

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??
