I am a 90's kid. I dont remember many current events. But I do remember a lot of TV shows on the old Nick. I loved Hey Arnold and Rocket Power. Bobby's world was awesome too. I remember alot of the Old Skool music, probally because they still play it today.
knowing is half the battle.

I was born in 1978, so yeah. My favorite cartoons have always been Scooby Doo and Thunder Cats. Sesame Street was the bomb back in the day before they added Elmo, and Mr. Rogers taught me how to say please and thank you. Neither of those shows held a candle to The Muppet Show. Saturday evenings were special because my dad would hook up the Atari system and let my brother and I play until 9pm. My favorite games were Haunted House, Pitfall, and Pong. If Ronald Reagan was speaking on TV it ruined your night because you were going to miss the A-Team, Nightrider, or Dukes Of Hazzard. If it was the state of the union address you were fucked because you were probably going to miss all of them. My parents had a shitty old console TV that only got twelve channels until I was ten. That year we were in seventh heaven because we got old school cable. The box was huge and had a turn dial for twenty five channels, and I was introduced to the joys of Nickelodeon. Paradise! The highlight of my day was watching Double Dare and You Can't Do That On Television after school. Nickelodeon these days is complete and utter crap. Well, except for Rugrats. That show is still somewhat entertaining, but if I see one more episode of Spongebob I swear I'll hurl.
me too, in part because my mom hated YCDTOTV. i also liked kids incorporated (with fergie!), she-ra, rainbow brite, popples, my little pony, george of the jungle ...it's so strange to see some of this stuff at hot topic now.Quote:

I loved it and still have it although it doesnt work. SONIC FTW! There were some wierd games back then like Toejam and Earl among others. As far as TV i remember most everything from nickelodeon. Rugrats, Doug, Ahh! Real Monsters, Double Dare, Legends of the hidden temple, What Would You Do?, Hey Arnold, Beetlejuice(the cartoon, not sure if it was on nickelodeon or not), SNICK!!, All That back when kenan and kell were on it and even before, Are you afraid of the dark?, That one show with the girl who could melt into silver stuff (The secret life of Alex something) Pete and pete, so many others!
I loved watching Mr. Rogers, sesame street, the muppets, muppet babies, Barney when i was really little (grew out of it by 5), tons of others.
p.s. I hated Winnie the Pooh!
Damn I remember when I was a kid watching are you afraid of the dark and tales from the crypt at my granmas house all the time. She also was the only person I knew that had satellite back when cartoon network wasn't on cable so I remember watching that channel all the time. I also remember stretch armstrong, anybody remember that shit?
I have a working Sega and Toejam and Earl! That is still one of my fav video games.
I am a 90's child. I remember a lot of the cartoons and such.

I remember spending about 3 hours putting together the Castle GreySkull for my son on X-Mas Eve. I recall all the toys and joys.....I was the one buying the lovely crap! All of that's landfill now.........:wtf:
Have a good one!:jointsmile:
i remember walking to the liquor store
with a .25 cents to play tight ass video games like
paperboy,shinobi,double dragon,cabral,black tiger
i remember playing hide and seek outside with all the kids on the block
going to the school yard and playing baseball and hitting the ball over
the fence and breaking windows on houses [gran slam]
playing tackle football at the high school against other kids from other blocks
after we won or lost, the losers did a beer run and we all got drunk
i remember scamming with this chick at garfield hs after a party one night
and just as things were getting good an earthquake hit
transformers were the shit
following the train tracks for as far as we could walk
riding bikes all over doing crazy stuff
exploring and playing in abandon buildings
I WISH THINGS WERE LIKE THAT AGAIN
KIDS NOW A DAYS ARE BORING WHEN IT COMES TO ADVENTURES
ALL THEY DO IS PLAY GAMES AND WATCH MOVIES AND EAT
I'm with you there Friendowl. When I was a kid the rule was until supper time your ass had to play outside. Adventures were the order of the day. Abandoned buildings were always a plus, because we always thought they were haunted and that just made for a great kiddie adrenaline rush. Remember putting pennies on the railroad tracks so they'd be flattened by a train?
I almost feel sorry for the kids now. When I was a kid all the parents knew all the kids around the neighborhood and looked out for them. Now with all the freaks it's really hard for the kids to go out the way they used to be able to. Our kids have become prisoners of the TV.Quote:

LEGENDS OF THE HIDDEN TEMPLE FUCK YEAH!!! gotta say i loved Ren and stimpy bitches! rugrats, gumby, transformers beastwars, space ghost coast to coast, fuckin looney toons with the fast bird and the coyote, and like Brak. good times. Nickelodian was beast. Now its just shit. the 90's were a great time. and the innocence was good too :P
I was out of it on glue and booze through most of the 90's, but i remember a bit of it. I remember TV was better. Even the kids shows.. they were just better than the crap they put on now. I used to sit in my living room all day watching cartoons drinking all my dads scotch, and sniffing his spray glue - i was an idiot.
Born in 1980 here...
I remember Reagan's Reelction, being 5 years old and walking to school by myself, getting in fights all the time with other kids in the neighborhood, getting away with murder at school,. seriously kids these days would get sent to prison for the shit I used to do as a child. I remember good fireworks in Calfornia before these weak safe and sane bullshit... before they had stupid bicycle helmet laws (and motorcycle helmet laws) I remember watching Challenger blow up before I went to school. I used to watch GI JOE religously as a kid (I love howw the used to do those "knowing is half the battle" segments) Transformers when they toys were made of metal. When you actually had to be creative with lego and erector sets. I remember Mr Rogers too and the Muppet show with Kermit and Piggie...When Disney's Alladin was the best Example of Animation. I remember the Berlin wall coming down and the First gulf war which was pretty cool to watch on TV. I remember using Apple II computers and Tandy computers and IBM XT's... I remember learing to program with Basic. My first Video game system was a Atari 2600, then I had the Sega Master system, NES, Geneis ET AL... When having a TV in your bedroom or own a cell phone actually meant you were spoiled I remember when the Iran contra scandel broke. I remember Clinton getting a BJ! Damn we had it good I feel sorry for kids these days... shit is just so lame now.
AMEN BROTHA! needa turn back time somehow...
oh yeah I forgot to add... before everything was made in China. Metroid and Castlevania rocked!
Born in 77
Smurfs ruled on Saturday morning!
Being scared of "Punk Rockers"
learning about nuclear war (thanks Mr. Reagan) and thinking WHY?
sitting in the front seat of our van which didn't have a seat belt let alone a car seat
being confused by "Boy George"
hearing a news story about a woman who put her baby in the oven and cooked it...feeling my world change to a scary place
I was born in 86 and I have to say I absaloutly hated the 80's but loved the 90's. What an amazing era, I loved watching Seasame Street early morning on channle 4 son! I loved the SNES and Mega Drive plus the N64. The legend of Zelda was amazing too and still is. Sigh, I do miss the 90's.
You aint the only one. And it's nearly another decade gone by. Damn, time goes too fast.Quote:

Then of course, basketball, football, baseball, riding bikes, roller-blading, wrestling, building forts (we had a three floor tree fort with a couch, porch and everything about 20 feet in the air...awesome) Still see most those kids nowadays too, which is great.
Soooooo many arguements ensued from that shit haha.
Like Friendowl said, the kids nowadays are always in the house with their next generation game systems, the internet and food, no wonder they're all a bunch of fat shits. We were never in the house early 90's...always running rampant through the neighborhoods getting into trouble daily.
The 'good old days' is such an understatement.
For anyone who really wants to reminisce....this was posted a few months ago...I just had to save it...
