I remember back in the day Saturday morning cartoons were actually awesome and it was worth getting up in the morning. I also remember stealing the batteries out of remote controls to power my gameboy pocket.
Read half of my posts and decide for yourself.Guitarmasterx7 said:
I find it frightening that game history isn't taught better. Do any of the teens actually understand playing a game on tape? I mean Ocean : Ultimate: Play The Game now Rare had some wonderful skills in creating loading screens.
And for a moment of reverie
Younger viewers may want to hold their ears, Older viewers may want to get a hankie.
Sweet! There's a phone that can jump-start my car and make me a sandwich? How did I miss that?crudus said:
What? Oh, right... *clears throat, starts coughing, mumbles to self "Yes, that's the old man voice I was looking for..."*
But, of course the snow had to be steam powered because there was a depression on at the time, you see. Why, for a nickel, you could take the whole family into town on the trolley, catch a double picture at the the-a-ter, go out for a steak dinner, and pick up a used Buick to drive back home. Do they even have nickels anymo- Hey! Git back here! I ain't done talking to you yet, boy!KampfVerein said:
On topic (finally): I remember when Sonic was good. Not just games, everything. Comics, TV shows (who knew there was a good use for Urkel?), even the obviously licensed money-making crap was good!
*hugging my stuffed Sonic because none of you can see me*
Now, where did my phone go? I'm hungry, and my car's dead.

When I originally responded to that I read "start" my car rather that "jump-start" which would be much simpler and I do suppose you could make some sort of sandwich making machine and put a phone in it. The portability might be a little hindered.
I memorised my dial-tone....traceur_ said:
Actually, I kind of miss the old AOL dial-up. Yes, it was annoying, but we got used to it. It became almost a friend.
Almost...
Part of the family.
Like a puppy that constantly barks, but you still love.
Well there really isn't a back in the day for me yet, but I do remember the good cartoons that were on such as Dexters Labritory and Animaniacs.
Though not old enough to warrant an old man's voice I do remember memories of that damned AOL dial up tone, and bits of B:TAT and pinky and the brain though not much other cartoons. My oldest console was a Sega Mastersystem that came out in 1985 according to Wikipedia so I can at least give my self a cane.
I remember the days when kids played outside, because the original Gameboy was a creature of myth and your household computer was for WORK and for your dad to mess around with DOS on. I remember when you were allowed to play bullrush at school and a meat pie was considered a nutritious lunch. I remember when TV broadcasting stopped at midnight and Goodnight Kiwi went to sleep in his satellite dish. I remember when the combination of leggings and baggy t-shirts was cool for the first time around. I remember when telephones had that circular dialling thingy and you could actually buy something for 10 cents...
I feel old =P
