Anybody remember when toyomatt wasn't here to piss and moan every time his thread didn't go exactly the way he wanted it to?

Who's doing the pissing and moaning. You were supposed to add a friggin memory for discussion after you said what you remembered. Get it now? (Some people catch edge too quickly)


Anyways,
QJ, Mr. Wizard rocked! I used to do the milk and cornflakes iron test to show that I eat metal for breakfast. :D

Battletoads and Double Dragon for SNES.
 
Double Dragon was great. I played it on A500.

Never heard of Archduke Feridnand.

Do you remember Garbage Pail Kids, or those fragrance stickers? One smelled like a mowed lawn.

Certainly... shame though that his car broke down near Princip. Poor bugger.

Inspector Gadget was okay – The dog annoyed me though.

Ooh, what about Duck Tales?
 
American Gladiators rocked, it was a great show to watch, and yet the video games were quite amazing for their time. I have the original NES one on my laptop.


Whatchamacallit's, the candy bar.
 
We had that in Australia, but it wasnt called American Gladiators (Well Duh)

Anyone remeber Uforia on NES?

Edit: Damn ToyoMatt cut me off...
 
hahaha, i used to watch that when i was in elementary school. My god it was boring but it was the best I could do during the rain season back in houston.

Anybody remember their first neighborhood?
Oh the wonderful memories of watergun fights and warring with the kids in the neighboring apartment complex.

damnit, toyo and Crayola beat me to it
 
Waterfights are great fun, shame I've supposedly grown out of them...

Anyone remember when PokeMon Blue first came out?

Anybody remember Windows 3.1
 
Still have it, in fact. On my ghetto pc at home.
It runs ok, on a good day. GOtta love switching to DOS to run games. :D (Also, those were the days of the "File Cabinet")

Kettcars, when they were introduced as the ride-on pedal kart

Never had one as a kid, but remember neighbors that did. . . Gotta bring up repercussions of childhood huh???

Slot car racing by Tyco. . . Remember the glow in the dark set with the Corvettes?
 
omg, i actually used to have something like that!! - well, mine weren't slot cars but rather, the track had magnetic strips. If you had enough speed, you could actually change lanes at will.

Anybody remember the original gameboys - the ones that were the size of bricks?
 
I like Tetris. I play it on my calculator all the time when the teacher is boring me with sines and cosines.

Anyone remember Chernobyl? Doug saw if firsthand.
 
I'm using my first computer. It's a 486! Woo. Oh wait, this one is actually a replacement one, but it's similar to our first computer. HP Pavilion for life!

Does anyone remember Y2K. I think my uncle is still hiding in a cave, waiting for the nuclear fallout to clear away.
 
My first computer was a Commodore 64.
I had a "pong" video game.
I drove a car with a carbuerator and drum brakes.
I remember when AM radio rocked.
I remember when you could get more than 3 channels without cable.
I remember when clocks had hands.
I remember when bringing a calculator to math class was verboten.

And, I'm almost ashamed that it took 42 posts before someone mentioned Speed Racer.


Damn, I'm old!!!
 
Ashamed? There's a lot of memories out there, bud. :D

My first PC, hold your horses, 133mhz Pentium. Once you turned it on, you could use it...that following month. :D

The Chrome Game Genie
Game Gear, still have mine
 
I remember when a 40 MB Hard drive was considered to be HUGE.
I remember when 16-color VGA, was "state of the art"
I remember when "PDA" meant that someone told your and your girl to "Get A room!"
I remember when a "cell" was simply a room in the jail. (and not a phone)
I remember when "Starbuck" was a character on Battlestar Galactica, and not a coffee shop.
I remember when "Hannie Caulder" was the only woman on screen (Large or Small) that kicked ass.
I remember basketball, before the 3-point shot.
I remember when "Starsky and Hutch" was a serious cop show, and not some comedic remake.
I remember when Robert Urich played a guy named "Dan Tanna" and drive around Las Vegas in a Red '57 T-Bird.
I remember when Chevy stopped making Corvette Convertibles (cause they couldn't sell them).
I remember when the Ford Mustang and Mercury Cougar shared the same mechanicals.
I also remember when the Cougar started sharing the same chassis with the T-Bird.

Don't mean to "mess with" your preferred layout. But the problem with getting old, is that you remember so darn much.:lol:
 
I remember when I could drive a '69 Pontiac with a 429 V-8 all week - for $10 worth of gasoline.

:bowdown: Fraggle Rock.

My favorite character was the Garbage heap, because they made this "Wonderous journey" to see him.

Bigfoot number 5
 
Forget Fraggle Rock. I remember H R Puffinstuff.

Forget H R Puffinstuff - I remember The Banana Splits.

I remember watching the first glide testing on the Space Shuttle, where they took it up on the back of a 747 and dropped it off to see if it would fly.

I remember watching the first Shuttle launch live on TV.

I remember watching the Challenger blow up live on TV, seeing minutes of those two boosters doing their weird blind dance in the sky while everybody scrambled to figure out what happened.
