Way back.

Before we realized all this would eventually disappear.

Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!!!

Holy shit! I remember like 95% of that. How old are you, Legend? I'm 24. Sometimes that stuff seemed like a lifetime ago, other times like it was just yesterday.

I think we're the last generation to remember life before computers and internet.

Shit man I remember the majority of what you posted. The 80s AND 90s was a great time growing up, it just sucks that it went by so quick.

I'm 22 and the 90's seems centuries ago.

OOOO I miss the 90's...haha

Ok, he was gay like He-Man but I didn´t miss one episode.

It still is. Duke Nukem 3D rocked on Windows 95.

Ah my old hero. He still kicks ass and is the unbeaten king.

Quote:

My walkman killed all my Austria Top 40 tapes, so I killed him.

Quote:

---

You know the Macarena by heart.

Was any girl in the video a tranny?

You know, its fucked up to think about that the 2000s are almost a thing of the past now, as well. Unfortunately, I don't think that there are quite as many great things to look back upon from this decade though. Apart from the post 911, police state America in which most of our Constitutional Bill of rights have been eviscerated and kids can't even have a weekend party now without cops finding out and throwing kids in Jail...

yes! i remember almost everything on that list.

This is a 90's thread, though.

I remember practically everything from all three lists. Born it the late seventies, raised in the 80s, became an man in the 90s.

K.I.T.T. will always be a Firebird to me, not a Mustang.

I still have my Members' Only jacket (it doesn't fit obviously)

I still have my NES...and it's fully operational

Zelda 2: The Legend of Link took awhile to beat, but I did it!

I remember Crystal Pepsi.

I had (and still have) a fanny pack.

My favored method of transportation was my Huffy (not BMX).

I was able to breakdance...including the headspin. I prefered doing the Kick Worm instead.

Speaking of that, I saw all of the Breakin' movies (and Beat Street for that matter)

I remember when Webster burned the apartment playing with "safety" matches

"Jennifer Slept Here"...and I liked "It's A Living". I had a crush on Ann Jillian! :oops:

Out here in Los Angeles, I used to shop at Zodys, Gemco, and Fedco (Zodys commercial, Gemco commercial featuring Zenith products (check out the prices!), someone shopping at the old Fedco on LaCienega and Rodeo Rd)

FUCK YEAH WALDO!

That is crazy!
I graduated from highschool in 2006 and i remember almost all of that!

I remember when disco was cool and John Travolta wasn't overweight :-(. The 90s went by me in a drunken blur

Actually, around the mid-1990's, there was the Gameboy Pocket, which was a smaller, thinner gameboy. Screen was still black & white, but the screen was larger and cripser....they eliminated the blurr that was infamous on the original.

And then the Gameboy color came out in 1997 or 1998.
