ORIGINAL LEMMINGS AND BOULDER-DASH!
👍 👍
How many people here hit the nuke button and tried to see if all the Lemmings could make it to safety before the time ran out on them?
I know I did.

Oregon Trail was the ****. I loved shooting those buffaloes.
We always tried to see how quickly we could get everyone to die. One teacher was so disgusted at our criminal neglect, she didn't let us play it at school anymore :(

How about...

Anyone remember the Game Boy Pocket, the original one released?

:lol: Couldn't think up of a better item to share....
That was the second one released. :lol:
 
Who remembers Bravestar........... heres a little clue

'strength of a bear', 'eyes of a hawk', 'speed of a puma', 'ears of the wolf'

I loved that show!!

Also this is probably for you people living in england only but who remembers when Nickelodeon was filmed in the Trocadero in london and you could go up there and get on TV due to the big glass screen behind the presenters?

Spec....
 
I had, and I think I still have an Atari Lynx in my cupboard.

I used to love shows like Biker Mice From Mars, Trapdoor and all that jazz but the best of all was Rocko's Modern Life. I'm still trying to hunt down a box set of that in Australia.

That show was the best! Check amazon and ebay, they released several tapes, and many are bootleged to dvd now.

MacGyver?
 
a brit only show here - Round the Twist, I'm sure that writer was on something!!! Man that had some twisted storylines :crazy:

I also used to love my Commodore 64, especially the truck racing game i had :dopey:

And finally, playing footie down the park or at school with jumpers for goalposts and the amount of arguements that arose from deciding wether it was in or not 👍

I completely forgot about leisure suit larry as well, man i gotta find that again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was an Australian TV show which we imported. But you're right, it was truly barking.
 
Have you ever?
Ever felt like this?
When strange things happen,
are you going 'round the twist?

Remember Test Drive 1? 8-BIT!!!

I have Test Drive II for my Apple IIgs.

Yes! Although it's the 3rd one did it for me. Large 3D free roaming environments, "photorealistic" car interiors, wipers, headlights, police chases, an airport where you could race Boeing jets on the runway, even reverse lights... and one of the worst audio soundtrack in gaming history. What more could you ask back in 1990?

I couldn't contain myself when I got my hands on this...


Since we're into nostalgia, I also loved these as a kid:

 
OMG I love test drive 3...... that game was ace..... free roam, active weather, traffic, licenced cars like lambo and great car interiors! Hell it even had an airport, police and chickens and cows which you could road kill! What more could you want! Even GT4 didnt have half of this stuff! well, all of it! :lol: ...... did anyone ever find the hidden easter egg... there were star wars xwing fighters that flew out on the runway!

Bring on test drive unlimited!

Oh BTW I was born in 86 so I was a child of the early 90's *shudders*... not much to recall but I had the original game boy and betamax was just dying... thats about it... oh and BMX bikes where so popular!...plus a shed load of other stuff....
 
Not on a 33Mhz 486... I miss the times when I was dreaming of a 1000 MHz cpu, over 100 MB of RAM and a 1000 MB hard disk, and thought all that was a few decades away. (thanks, Moore's law)

I'm definitely a child of the 80's, minus the poor fashion sense :lol:. I was never really into computers though, my brother used to be, but my first console was the Playstation and it'd been out for a few years when I finally got one. I'm off to buy a digital projector tomorrow, for two things, one a hom cinema screen the size of my livingroom wall, and two for work so I can take it with me for poresentations and the usual boring stuff I have to try and make interesting.

:lol:
Now people can have 1TB systems. Insanity! All I have is 80gb! But it is interesting when you look at what older processors could actually handle. The first Power PC CPUs could address 1TB of ram I think. They had a way to the future paved.
 
The firast computer we had was an Amstrad CPC464, the first proepr PC we had was a 486SX powered Amstrad PC with a 500mb hard drive and 8mg system RAM :lol:.
 
The first video game I ever played was Number Muncher on the oldass Apples at school. Can't remember much, but it was fun.

Did anyone ever drink Econo-Pop? They sold for a quarter (no, this wasn't in 1972) and were in a chubby bottle. The distributor went bankrupt so we couldn't find them anymore near where I lived. They were the best though, especially for kid's money.

Careful of the two year lamp life, the £250 lamp replacement cost and the fact you can't buy spares and store them.
 
Oh I know, but I need one for work purposes, so I might as well get one I can use for movies as well.
 
I remember my first pc, it was 1989. I begged, and begged, and begged! Christmas morning there was a "Hewitt Rand" 386DX 16 MHz, 4 mb ram, 500mb hard drive, and a 5.5" floppy drive. I had never used a PC before, and I had to learn DOS from scratch. "Where in the world is Carmen San Diego" was the first game on it. A year later I upgraded it to a WHOPPING, 8 mb of ram, and added a 3.25" drive. My first version of Windows blew my freaking mind, and it came on, something like, 24 floppy discs.
 
Heres one that goes back almost 20 years. A little girly, but I remember it thanks to my sister.

Popples!
Popples.jpg

I never really watched the show unless my sister had it on, but for some stupid reason I can remember just sitting there with my sisters popple and making it go from a ball to a bear/thing over and over.

Check THIS out! All the openings for the shows/cartoons from the 80's-90's. I had forgotten about all these, even though they basically raised me...Thanks Mom!
