So I was tinkering around with my [Popular Networking Website] page when I recieved a bulletin about the nineties.
Ahh, the memories . . .
So let's see how many twenty-somethings-plus we have on BZPower, shall we?
Holler back if you can remember the following:
The original, big-mouthed Simpsons.
The entrance of Santa's Little Helper.
Animaniacs.
The Wheel of Morality (NOT Monotony)
The Disney Afternoon.
Duck Tales.
Gummy Bear Adventures.
Batman: The Animated Series.
Both the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon (and its theme song) and movies.
(And, dare I say it, Gargoyles. Hey, it first aired in '94. It's fair game.)
Where in the World is Carmen San Diego? (And its theme song.)
Captain Planet (And its theme song)
The ORIGINAL Power Rangers. The Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. Not Zeo, not Mystic Force, not SPD, just MMPR.
America's Funniest Home Videos. (And it's theme song.)
PBS's (in my case, KCET) Wishbone, Reading Rainbow, and The Magic School Bus (and the PSA's they had after every episode!)
Saved by the Bell
Lambchop's PlayAlong (And its theme song.)
The buzzwords psyche, not, da bomb.
ABC's TGIF lineup -- and their theme songs.
Oregon Trail, Math Blaster, or the Broderbund Living Books "games".
Goosebumps.
Choose Your Own Adventure.
(Both have since attempted to make a comeback.)
Plastic lunchboxes with a popular cartoon character/scene pasted on one side (and mourning when said sticker began to peel off).
SLAP BRACELETS. If you don't know what these are, there's no sense explaining.
The Super Nintendo.
The GameGear.
The ORIGINAL GameBoy, with the huge physique, the spinach-green screen, and the ability to play one-on-one multiplayer . . . And, later, the four-way cable.
The first Home Alone.
Cute Maculay Culkin.
Ring Pops.
Squeeze-its.
The boom box, the walkman, and the cassette tape.
POGS.
Tamagotchi'es/Nanopets (not Neopets :-P)/Gigapets, Furbies, Beanie Babies, Trolls.
WINDOWS 3.1 and DOS.
The "Three-Fingered Salute."
C:\DOOM.exe
C:\duke3d.exe
COMMAND-LINE INTERFACE
Researching meant going to the public library and using the CARD CATALOG.
If this doesn't suggest how old I am, I don't know what else possibly could. :-P
Have fun reminiscing!
