You know you were raised in the late 80's early 90's when...

[Jonny Boy]

But we did. We had robotech and things like that. We had our own japanamation!

ya but it was still beter than the new stuff.

Robotech was Japanese anime.

What is that? Are they referring to curved 30 round Kalashnikov magazines?

No - the hairclip. I'm a guy and even *I* know that.  ;D Having a sister helps.

That list forgot Thundercats, Fraggle Rock, Ren and Stimpy, You Can't Do That on Television, and the Wonder Twins. It seems people are attributing things like cards in bike spokes and marbles to that era when they predated them by quite a bit.

Oh yeah!! and Construx!! Best toy ever... without shame I can admit that upon finding my old Construx materials I happily started building stuff again at 17. Anyone remember the "island" and pioneer computer games in elementary school where you had to forage for food, hunt, ration water and stuff like that? I think I might look for those again...

I was never able to get the emulator working from that site for some reason. I guess I'll try again.

I'm trying to find that island game - it may have been called "Beached" 'cause there's a "Beached II" but the graphics are way different.

Another good point is if you've ever owned a hat that had a visor which could fold down from the inside...

Mine was neon green. *sighs*

Cheers

Oh my ...  :-[                    ... dunno about Beached, though

Holy cats, I was just checking on this ... there's an Oregon Trail Version 5: http://www.broderbund.com/jump.jsp?itemID=147&mainPID=147&itemType=PRODUCT&RS=1&keyword=oregon+trail

 

[Sheerin]

oh Oregon trail was such a classic game, but I don't particularly want to play because i know it can never live up to how I remembered it.

man... those were simpler times...

[Jonny Boy]

oh i loved that game. i used to go to my friends and play it all the time. i would still play it if i got the chance.

 

[patrick666]

The fighting was probably the greatest feature of the game.

Remember Contra? Classics!
