Connections2 and the Civil War: pure. distilled. awesome.

They were why I watched PBS.

Anyone remember The Incredible Crash Dummies? The series of toys that let you smash cars and other vehicles into each other and they'd break apart? The dummies themselves would fall apart too. They were so much fun to play with. Anyway one of the figures, Ted, came with a VHS that had a half hour pilot on it. The pilot was filled to the brim with puns and family friendly dismemberment. I loved watching this as a kid. The whole thing moves at an incredible pace so you don't have time to blink and I believe may be the first all CGI cartoon ever even predating Reboot. Anyway the show can be seen here and I recommend watching it right now. There's also a summary/review here. Like the guy says, "we were robbed by not getting a full series of this."

1990s video games. My PS 1 and my sister's Genesis. Medievil, Twisted Metal, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Tekken, Sonic, etc.

Also, what i loved about this decade was that you could wear ANYTHING and get away with it. Double denim, those hyper shiny silk shirts, overalls, bad bangs, flannel. Literally no one cared how you looked as long as you weren't trying to bring back the 70s or 80s.

Then again, that's probably a bad thing.

Ah Grunge, when I could wear a flannel top and board shorts and get away with it. Then I discovered cloves. Daddy put up with the flannel but when I came home smelling like cloves....his Death Glare almost peeled the paint off the walls...

As a Aussie... A*mazing, Round the Twist, Aggro's Cartoon Connection, Cheez TV, and that awesome ABC News Theme:

I remember me and my brother actually broke one. We were in the toy section at this oen store and one of our friends from school saw an unopened one on the shelves. He wanted to see how far it could stretch, so me and my bro stretched it as far we could. It went up to about 10 feet before the arms snapped off and inside was this clear colored goo.

I also remember 1991 and 1992 was when the Pittsburgh Penguins won the Stanley Cup back to back. It was my first time watching a sports team I follow win a championship.

Doom! I remember hauling a ton of floppies to put Doom on my home computer. FTP, Zmodem, waiting an hour for a .WAD file to download. Putting a Nine Inch Nails CD on the stereo while fragging away...ah memories.

I remember playing King's Quest VI back in the day. My first introduction to the series and to point and click adventures in general. Never got very far in it though, at least not until years later when I had access to the internet to help with some of the more asinine parts.

An Ultraman Retsuden special episode somehow made me feel nostalgic for something I didn't think I'd ever feel nostalgic about. It's basically a recap of Ultraman Gaia's story up to about episode 40.

Specifically it's the music playing at about 16 minutes. The song suddenly just... clicked, even though I don't remember it that well.^note this show is from the '90s, but I think I first saw it a little later. But whatever, I thought this thread was more appropriate anyway.

Didn't he have an archenemy, like an Emperor Zurg? "Vac-Man"?

Or maybe he had several.

Exo-Squad, Yes Minister, Babylon-5 and deep fried mushrooms, how I spent my nights in the 90's.

Stretch Armstrong had a cartoon? Must've never crossed the pond...

On the topic of Stretch Armstrong.

This show was the dog's bollocks back in the day. Cat Deeley turned my generation into men, man.

Wonky Donkey... never to be forgot.

Listening to my playlist at work last night (anything from oldies to modern rock, with a smattering of "old school" country), a thought occurred to me: What ever happened to the little girl who was dancing in the bee costume from the video for Blind Melon's "No Rain"?

Anyone remember Legends of The Hidden Temple?

I didn't have cable...

I heard Dishwalla's Counting Blue Cars I love that song

I never watched Legend of the Hidden Temple growing up. I did watch Guts though, as well as Nick arcade.

I remember "Legends", and those other shows.

Nick Rocks! Back when MTV played music and some areas didn't have it.

Heck, back when MTV played music period...

3.5" floppies, Tape drives, zip drives, that new-fangled CR-rom thing....

FTP...ooh goddess,

Z modem,

DOOM....

Ah, the original Play Station... Sweet memories.

I remember Legends of the Hidden Temple. I never understood how everyone messed up the Shrine of the Silver Monkey. Especially when one person tried to put the head on first.

my friends and i were saying the same thing the other night. there are like 3 pieces that have one of two directions. spacial reasoning, how does it work

Anyone remember a show called Masters of the Maze? Basically the second half was like the temple portion of "Legends of the Hidden Temple". Sort of. Two teams of two had to find their way through a maze with various obstacles and trivia questions. Though unlike "Temple", one team member stayed outside as Mission Control. And Mario Lopez (Slater from Saved By The Bell) was the host.
