Living in the mid-90's > any era

Remember when you actually could buy a little machine and all it did was rewind video tapes?

Using a pencil to rewind or forward a cassette tape that had messed up?

Aol?

Tecmo Bowl? :bowdown:

Topanga? :bowdown:

[QUOTE=andgar923]I consider the 90s the modern day renaissance era. But it doesn't necessarily mean that we've regressed tremendously since then. Some things have become sucky (mainly music), but others have improved (tv shows, movies).[/quote]

This isn't the greatest era for movies. Too many needless remakes, reboots, sequels and such. I do agree with you on some other things, though.

People look at the past through rose-colored glasses. Of course everything seemed so much better when you didn't have any real worries in the world, didn't have big responsibilities, barely any stress, no bills, etc... Life is easy when you're a kid. And, DW is correct about nostalgia. It can have a strong grip.

[QUOTE=ShaqAttack3234]I also have to mention that action movies were still left to the Stallones, Schwarzennegers, Seagals(when he was in shape) and Bruce Willis of the world. Someone like Shia Labeouf would have never been in an action movie.[/QUOTE]

What's the point of this? There were many cheesy/lame action movies back then, and I could really do without Stallone's awful acting and incomprehensible mumbling.

[QUOTE=Myth]I was a 90s kid, but I loved a lot of the carry over that I had from the 80s, like this:

Man this brings back memories.

I had some nice transformers too. Beast wars slowly took over though.

GI Joe....yeah 90's was dope. I'm glad I got to spend some of my formidable years in that decade.

Wish I saw some of the 70's though.

90's ruled. So much easier to get a blow job then.

GI Joe is not 90s.

Pinky and the brain

[QUOTE=DeuceWallaces]GI Joe is not 90s.[/QUOTE]

There was some spill over though. I was buying new GI Joe toys up until 94 or 95. Although the cartoon was 80s it was designed to sell the toys. The toys came first and the toys were made until the 90s :)

That's not transformers. That's Voltron. Get it right.

The majority of the toys were mid late 80s. By the 90's they were an afterthought.

Australia was probably a bit behind the times back then. They were still in full force during the early to mid 90s here :oldlol:

I watched GI Joe cartoons around like 1994-1995, but eventually they faded away. I think because my name was in the title I liked it a lot more than other kids at that time. haha

What was cool about toys in the 80s is that they actually had some for the kids that were dumb and couldn't transform a transformer for shit, often breaking it and pissing off their parents who just dropped $20 on a toy. For these kids, they had Battle Beasts. Very simple paper/rock/scissors concept for them so that they knew how to play with the toys:

Wood beats water
Water beats fire
Fire beats wood
