Remembering the 90's

[Leosam096]

Looking at my 1998th post I think of the year I came to America about Fall of 1998 AD. I still miss the feeling of the cold air of night California and the chill that reaches the hills where we reside in the morning.

In the 90s there are few things I remembered very well:
-Nirvana
-Beastie Boys
-Evangelion
-Mt. Pinatubo Eruption
-Super Mario

So what do you guys miss during the 90s?

[masterofhobbiton]

Jurassic Park (why is it still more realistic than modern movies?), no bad star wars movies, no homework, no Bush as president...

[Thedutchjelle]

Hmm, i don't remember much from that time, cept for

-SNOW at winter! Haven't seen decent snowfall in such a long time
-Playing SC for the first time and get that 'omg.. omg..' feeling.

[U-238]

The feeling of innocence I had when I was 8. Nothing but waiting for birthdays and Christmas and Saturday's, building castles and then having a Lego war with friends.

Good Times.

A few other things during the 90's.

Mortal Kombat was one of the top games. (I think)
Home Improvement was a primetime show.
Bob Saget hosted AFV.
Other shows I remember at the time was "Dr. Quinn" ; "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" ; "Full House" ; "Family Matters"
TMNT was a cartoon series on saturday mornings (along with animaniacs, piny and the brain, and the bugs bunny show)

That's about all I can remember right now.

[Thedutchjelle]

-No homework.
-not as much school.
- No problems.

[Atillawurm]

-Saturday morning cartoons, and getting up at 5 am to watch them
-lighting the house on fire.

Ah the good ol' days of youth.

[Giggilyomeromicon]

I remember when Cartoon Network was awesome.

[SHISHKABOB]

I don't really remember Cartoon Network as being awesome when I was a kid. But it was definitely better than it is now.

I remember when Cartoon Network was awesome.

[dunchy]

[U-238]

Aha! Found the link from the old thread. (http://early90s.ytmnd.com/)

[Atillawurm]

Is it bad that I remember most of that stuff? especially the cartoons?

[Thedutchjelle]

Is it bad that I remember most of that stuff? especially the cartoons?

Yes. You're old.

@U-238 - Most of those things didn't get to here i guess, i only know like a very few things on that list.

[IrishDutchman]

Kinda weird to see that most of the stuff here is in some way related to TV or video games.
All you guys remember of your childhood is TV and games! That kinda sucks. =/

[Thedutchjelle]

:(
Well. this is a forum with mostly gamers. Can you blame them?

[Galiant]

rhapsody of fire

No I remember more, thats just the stuff that stands out the most.

[WarInSerbia]

hm,the 90s huh...
Well the borbardment of Belgrade in '99 thats for certain...my uncle died in the bombings...:(...
And who can forget 18.7.1992 the day when I was born :D

[Thedutchjelle]

Hah!

All days pale in comparison to 6/6/1991.

[IrishDutchman]

Well. this is a forum with mostly gamers. Can you blame them?

You bet! :P

[dunchy]

Tag!!!

[Gunmonk]

Dude... laser callenge and when they cae out with all those cool blasters!!

[U-238]

I remember LC. Two of my friends had a set and I got one too. One of them had the rifle blaster looking one.

Good times.

[TinyDancer]

What about old-school freeze tag, where to unfreeze someone you had to crawl between their legs?

Yeah, you can't really do that now.

[U-238]

At least, not without being expelled immediately. :P

[IrishDutchman]

Why would you get expelled? In our school, you'd probably just get laughed at...

[U-238]

You're in Ireland. We're in the USofA.

Rules are much different.

[Thedutchjelle]

He's in Netherlands AFAIK ;P

Nice try though.

[IrishDutchman]

You're in Ireland. We're in the USofA.

Rules are much different.

Even so, why would you get expelled for playing tag? O_o

[U-238]

Because you could potentially be leading up to sexual misconduct in public which is a nono in the USA. (though, for the record, schools don't really give a fuck about what you do when no one's watching.)

No it doesn't make any sense. But then again, the things people in the US do anymore usually don't anyways.

[PrestonBurke]

What about old-school freeze tag, where to unfreeze someone you had to crawl between their legs?

Yeah, you can't really do that now.
How old were you when you had to play that way? The freeze tag I remember was just to simply touch them to unfreeze.

Jesus, I remember when they restricted Tag at my elementary school and forced us to play Shadow Tag. We became the bitchiest kids on the playground.

[TinyDancer]

What the hell is shadow tag?

I never went to school, I just played it with my friends. I've always been really hard to unfreeze though, because I'm so short. :(

[U-238]

I never went to school, I just played it with my friends. I've always been really hard to unfreeze though, because I'm so short.

"Only thing that keeps me up
When I'm feelin down
I don't know about u
But I got to keep mines around
Cuz I don looked I don searched and It's hard 2 find
Another shorty like mine. Shorty like miiiiiiinnneee..."

Ok, /gaysonglyrics

>.>

[Gunmonk]

a shorty like yours? umm I dont think its that short but if it makes you feel better it way bigger...


Does anyone rember reboot?

[Duddits]

Reboot kicked ass so hard... As well as Dragon Ball Z, and Zoids.

[IrishDutchman]

What the hell is shadow tag?

I think it's when you can't tag people, but have to stomp on their shadows to get 'em.

[Galiant]

Ah... memories

http://youtube.com/watch?v=NFi8chJt4p8&mode=related&search=

Listen to that guitar! I wish they made an instrumental version of the intro theme! The Vocals are just soooo wrong

[TinyDancer]

I think it's when you can't tag people, but have to stomp on their shadows to get 'em.

So I guess it's really hard to play at noon?

[U-238]

Naw, nighttime would be harder.

[Leosam096]

Haha. Reboot ftw! Beast Machines and Beast Wars. :)

[Galiant]

Dodgeball...

[pytum]

2008! 90's will be adults

[Thedutchjelle]

Only the ones born in 1990.

And laws for when you're adult vary in other countries, though I think most have 18 years.

[TinyDancer]

He knew that, that's why he said:

90's will be adults

Not, "Everyone born between 1990 and 2000 will be adults!"

[Thedutchjelle]

He knew that, that's why he said:



Not, "Everyone born between 1990 and 2000 will be adults!"

But with the '90' people usually mean all 1990-2000.
Just like the Eighties '80' are 1980-1990 etc.

Whatever.

[pytum]

well... all the people born in the year of 1990 will be adults in the 2008...

now, i have explained this...

[Myr0nImm0rtal]

ghost in the shell movies and series came out
:D

[U-238]

2008! 90's will be adults

I was a 90's :cry:

[Thedutchjelle]

Was?

How can you change your birthdate?

[Atillawurm]

Was?

How can you change your birthdate?
With money and a lawyer.

[Thedutchjelle]

With money and a lawyer.

Yes well then it's changed on the paper, but not the ACTUAL birthdate! :concern:

[U-238]

I was born in 1990. That was nearly 18 years ago. Hence the past tense.

Though swany's post pwned. :P

[Leosam096]

Pagers and Tamagotchis!

[Gunmonk]

Vac men they came with a suction pump so they'd get hard and you could do stuff with them (Gawd that sounds wrong):P

[Atillawurm]

Are you trying to tell us something here?

[GroG]

Yeah, I remember the 90's...

'Gonna take pollution down to zero.

[Zerg_eater]

What I remember was...I was born on 1995!!!

[pytum]

i was born in the late 1990, i cant believe that the time went so fast, im impressed, now we are a couple years away to be in the 2010...

[Thedutchjelle]

2010, and we still don't have jetpacks :(

[masterofhobbiton]

On the contrary, some of those rocketpacks they have nowadays look pretty sweet, they're just too expensive for common use.

http://www.rocketman.org/

[pytum]

i hope that the year 2015 of the back to the future movie could be our reality :P

[Leosam096]

By the year 2015, we have to switch all our resources to renewable like solar powered cars and stuff. So hope that we're still existing to have our non-renewable resources back. :/
But how should I know? The news said so.

[pytum]

until the US stop the "invasion" ,not war, in Irak , the world will not progress in such matters like global warming and stuff

[Thedutchjelle]

Whatever. Bush is an idiot -- I hope the next president of the US knows wtf he's doing.

Like actually caring about the enviroment.

[Galiant]
