The 90s Nostalgia Thread

True classics, the both of them.

The original Turtles Movie was on just a little while ago. That was such a good film, literally everything about it was great. Even all these years later I honestly can't find anyway I feel it could be improved upon. The soundtrack was especially memorable, a feat that is even more impressive when you remember this was an independent movie.

@wanderlust I couldn't stop staring at Lisa's chest.

So I wanted to listen to the Power Rangers Zeo theme (that "gooooooooooooooooo zeeeeeeeeoooooooooo" at the beginning is chilling nostalgia). Then I found this in the related videos. And its own related videos.

OMG!!!!! This thread... I am home :`D

So much innuendo and so many references I didn't catch. I hadn't even seen Star Wars when I first saw this episode.

oh dexter's lab

brilliant

So I've noticed ESPN Radio has been playing this commercial lately:

Anyone remember Bump In The Night? Claymation show about this guy?◊ I was always really confused by that show. Not by the plot or characters or anything but because I remember seeing the same characters on the bumpers leading into and out of commercials. Thing is when by the time the show made it to air the bumpers in question had been replaced so Iwas never sure if I was imagining them or not. Well while I was looking through old TV commercials I found 6 minutes of commercials crica 1993. Guess who was in the bumpers?

I knew I wasn't crazy!

I hardly anything about the 90s. Well, except for old Jay-Z songs, but that was kind of essential.

And I didn't know Jay-Z until like The Black Album or sometime like that, certainly not the 90's.

Er...is it wrong that I'm starting to unironically listen to Toy Box and Aqua again?

How unironically?

Oh my I have the Speed Racer and Sailor Moon themes stuck in my head again.

speaking of that, oldschool pokemon anime

I had a paper for my Egyptian Art and Archeology class that was supposed to discuss how outsiders viewed ancient Egyptian culture, and we were encouraged to use references from pop culture.

I totally did not use that as an excuse to watch Cyberchase, Yu Gi Oh, and La Reine Soleil. Absolutely not. I am a responsible university student and would never do such things.

The beetleborgs. God were they awesome.

Ancient Egyptian Laser Beams.

How'd the paper go?

You know I'd actually kind of like to see how that paper turned out.

I watched the crap out of power Raners but I always prefered Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad to Beetleborgs. But when it came to Japanese media re-worked for american audiences the funniest by far had to be Samurai Pizza Cats.

It was turned in on Thursday and my next class for that section is Tuesday, so Tuesday at the earliest.

...and there's no page for La Reine Soleil? This will be remedied after finishing the Yu Gi Oh namespacing, page creation 'n' other stuff project (that I encourage everyone to participate in ). If I do well, I might pastebin it for you guys to mock read. I also used The Mummy's animated series and a mention of that completely anachronistic scene in Aladdin. Sad thing is, I could name these off the top of my head.

Got my essay back. 92/100. My TA said that the plot of Yu-Gi-Oh was creative and Cyberchase's Pyramidia cybersite was cute.

Congratulations!

I remember the time when "multiplatform" videogame also meant "multi-generation". I remember some titles being released on all four video consoles (NES, Super NES, Master System and Megadrive), plus the handhelds.

I was born in 1997, but I still remember VHSes and my Pokemon anime tapes on those.

My wife & I spent most of the '90s as impoverished newlyweds who couldn't afford fripperies like cable. I envied my less responsible friends who were getting to watch MST 3 K, Space Ghost Coast To Coast, and (later) South Park.

One of my earliest memories is getting our first computer: a nondescript beige box that I suspect either had a 486 or early Pentium processor, and I think (can't remember, been a really long time) 16 MB of RAM. I loved watching the BIOS count up all the memory while starting up; the buzzing, the whirrs, the beep when it went to boot Windows 95... is it me, or do older computers actually give off a better sense of "this is a high-tech piece of machinery and electronics" than newer, arguably overly-designed ones? I'd blame Apple, but they're the only ones that can design a modern PC and still manage to make it scream "high-tech" to me. Or maybe I'm just jaded.

I also fondly remember my Game Boy Color, even if it was the lame turquoise-colored model, and wish I still had it. Yeah, emulation's okay, but it just doesn't compare to cramming a real cartridge in and really playing a real game on real hardware in reality. (lol redundancy) I had a green Game Boy Pocket before that, but I broke the screen on it (really sad moment for me...)
