90's kid

[Flatcoatluver]

You got super excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class.

I loved playing that!

You used to listen to the radio all day just to record your FAVORITE song of ALL time.

It seems like just yesterday I would do something like that.

You had slap bracelets!

Slap bracelets were the best thing to have back then!

Sigh you don't know how much that cheered me up reading it, I remember almost everything on there. Gosh how I loved Rugrats, Rocko's Modern Life, and all those other shows! Playing outside was just the best, I don't think I would have wanted to grow up any other way. I wish I could go back into the 90s again and just be a kid...

I forgot all about that stuff until now, and yes I remember it all now. I remember Rugrats, Pinky and the Brain, Rocko's Modern life, Ren and Stimpy, Doug, etc. I watched all of them. I've had furbies, slap bracelets, and all that other stuff. Thanks for bringing back memories of "the days".

Ring pops were awesome and Pogs! Where have those things gone?
I still watch Rugrats...
I remember when they stopped showing new episodes of "Are you afraid of the Dark?" What was up with that? I liked that show.
I hated that rainbow fish book.

I know a lot of that stuff ... but not from personal experience, but from my son. He was born in 1991. We had a lot of pogs, and a lot of Pokemon cards. And gigapets and furbies.

Ok, what is the mysterious song?

I was born in 1984, but I'd say I grew up in the 90's, I definitely remember all of this. It's weird to say I remember when the internet and personal computers first came out.

Remember using those older Apple computers? They were brown-ish, the screen was black and everything in the screen was in green (some were in white)? I remember using those during a library class in elementary school. I actually still have a printout of a picture I made on one of those.

Oh my, I remember that too. I remember having an XT (I think that's what it was called). I used to play a game called Math Rabbit on that computer. There were no colors on the screen...just black and green.

Then, years later, we upgraded to a 286.
Then a 386.
Then a 486.
Finally, we got a Pentium, and we all know the upgrades that followed.

I also remember loading computer games from dos instead of windows. I don't even remember how to do that anymore! Maybe is was C:/Games/the games name.

We grew up with the development of computers in our lives. We remember the first time the internet entered our house. We remember the first time cell phones came into being...and we remember when Concords left the airline industry. Wow. Lots of things have happened in these past 17 years!

My parents tell me they remember the first time they got a microwave, and a telephone...and how they used to use telegrams before the days of telephones. Isn't it interesting how the world changes in such a short amount of time?

This thread really brought be back some memories. I was about 5 years old in 1990, so most of my childhood memories are from the 90s. I remember my beloved slap bracelet, how excited I used to get when we would play Oregon Trail at school. (I used to go to the library just to play Oregon Trail AFTER school)! I remember Pinky and the Brain, and so many other cartoons like, "Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers", "Alvin and the Chipmunks", "GummiBears", TaleSpin, DuckTales, etc. Reading Rainbow was something I could NOT miss. I remember Wild America. I remember the Rugrats. I remember the Magic School Bus, and Wish Bone. I remember the GigaPet craze. All of my friends had it. I didn't. I wanted a REAL pet.

I remember playing with SillyPutty. In fact, I think I still have mine somewhere. Polly Pockets were my passion, and I have saved every single one of them for my own children to play with in the future. I used to make those little paper fortune tellars all the time. Paper, Rock, Scissors was the game we'd always play when we were bored. Atari was SO much fun. I remember playing a Big Bird game on that. It sounds so silly now. I remember my Cabbage Patch Dolls. I also remember my Cabbage Patch coloring book. I used to color ALL the time!

Childhood was wonderful, and as a child, I never wanted to grow up. I wanted to grasp onto those times forever. As you grow up, you realize you can't grasp onto anything forever. Times come and go. Things come and go. People come and go. But memories remain, perhaps forever, and it is so wonderful to go back on the memory lane and remember the things we used to do as kids.

hmm...what mysterious song?
