Just because you were born in '97 doesn't mean you're a 90's kid.

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

Post this in your bulletin if you remember these days

 

Hahhaaah sounds familiar!
I didn't recognise everything though, but that's because I was born in Finland.

It's sometimes irritating when some (even) younger guys talk about "Never Ending Game Saga, part V" and you have to remind them there was a "part I" they never heard of.

I'm actually a Nintendo guy myself and missed SNES/N64/gameboy in this list.

 

Oh nostalgia, most of it is true!

and

I kind of miss the easyness of recording TV shows and movies with a VCR.

 

Omg, Pogs were amazing. I was unbeatable; I only ever spent about £10 on them in total, but ended with over 1500, and there were only a few people that could ever beat me with any consistency. I still have them somewhere. Eventually they got banned; loads got stolen every lunchtime.

And I remember getting up at about half six every saturday morning to watch Skeleton Warriors. Now that was a cartoon; the bad guys actually won sometimes! And it had a proper finale, where people actually died, rather than continuing until ratings drop too low. They don't make cartoons like they did back then.

I was never allowed to watch power rangers; it was apparently "too violent". Children used to play it at school, and it would almost always end in a fight.

Genesis (or Mega Drive as it should actually be called...) was so much better than SNES, although I seem to be the only one that thinks that. Golden Axe! Streets of Rage! Sonic & Knuckles! Altered Beast! Toejam & Earl! Tazmania: Escape From Mars! Greatest games system ever, and now I own a load of them on my Wii, via Virtual Console.

Oh, nostalgia...

 

Gosh, I actually qualify for quite a number of them...

 

Ahh the nostalgia, and a bit sad too. Only 1 thing on the list doesn't describe me in the 90's.

You were sure you were going to merry Nick Carter or one of the boyband lead singers. but mostly. Nick Carter <3

Being a Hetro male this is a little out of my juristiction

 

Quite the nineties kid here.

Go pink Power Ranger.

Hmmm...*nostalgia* how fast things change.

 

Let me just be the first to say "Captain Planet, he's a hero, he's gonna take pollution down to zero, he's our powers magnified and he's fighting on the planet's side."

I STILL watch this cartoon!

 

Wow...that list brought back memories.

Too true! Transformers was the best Saturday morning cartoon ever!

Kids these days would benefit from these experiences.

 

SNES beats Mega Drive anyday.

Mortal Kombat, Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart... although I prefer Amiga over them both.

 

Despite the fact that I recognize quite a few things on that list in no way do I qualify as a 90's "kid"

 

This really does bring back memories. I used to love Aaaahhhh Real Monsters and Rugrats as a kid. I'm also really quite surprised at how many things apply to me as well.

The Nick Carter thing doesnt though. It REALLY doesnt.

 

Heh sure brought back some memories.

I'll have to say though that saturday morning cartoons were quite educational. It made me learn to read way before school and even taught me some English. These days kids get dubbed crap and learn nothing.

 

I was suprised by how many of those I did.

 

AHHHH Real Monsters was so sweet, as was Dinosaurs (I'm the baby, gotta love me, hit my daddy on the head with a frying pan...). Good stuff

 

I owned both a Genesis and a SNES so it's hard to tell which one is better. Golden Axe was the game though, it kicked so much ass!

 

Ahh, does that bring back memories!

McDonald's pizza... *shrugs* it was alright, I guess...

SNES and Genesis also bring back memories of AD&D WoTES, Sword of Vermillion... ahh, those were the days.

And who could forget Pepsi Crystal? That stuff was foul... worst thing, some folks buy some unopened bottles for a small fortune on eBay... I also remember Pepsi Blue's ancestor, Crush Berry or some such - unlike it's successor, Crush Berry actually was good stuff. To think that when it was phased out, the convenience store near where I lived back then sold them 4 for a buck. Man, am I glad I'm not diabetic...

I also remember the BSB cult - especially the bunch of crazed chicks who almost worshiped the one chick who gotten the album. It was pathetic.

Gak... it was cool stuff. Enough said.

Sour cherry Warheads. Enough said.

Haha, oh yeah, I remember elementary school almost felt like a rave with all those flashing lights...

Home-what?

And let's not forget that in the 90s, analog cellphones were the best!

And one for the French-Canadians (aka Flix)... remember Distribution aux Consommateur?

 

I remember a lot of those things, though I remember a lot of stuff from the 80s as well. Golden Axe did kick a lot of ass, as did Earthworm Jim and VECTORMAN!

 

Here's how Old I am...

Mr. T, Hulk Hogan's Rock and Wrestling, Pac Man, Saturday Supercade (featuring Donkey Kong, Q*bert, Frogger, Space Ace, Donkey Kong Junior) and Dragon's Lair.

Atari 2600, Colecovision, Intellivision...

Star Wars, Superman...

Wayne Gretzky...

I remember a time before Fox...

Actually I spent that night drinking beer in a Hotel Bar in Atlanta...

My Terminal program ran through DOS, and I used Newsgroups and E-mail in 1995...

I remember these video disks that you had to rent the disks and the players. They were about a foot across or bigger...

 

Sounds like me...
