the bottom one was the real one
the evil horde was just as cool as masters of the universe |
A memory from childhood, and a tribute to all of those people on this site that we make fun of every day...

I didn't like Trolls, but my best friend did. She had a BUNCH of them. I was mostly into Barbie and Cabbage Patch.
Does anyone notice how much Barbie costs NOW, as opposed to when I was playing with them? I remember one Barbie used to be like $20ish, and the other day I saw a single Barbie for like $5 at Target. Back in the day, Barbie's outfit cost you more than that. Other stuff: *K'NEX and other building toys. My dad always bought these and ended up having to put the stuff together because we would get confused and start whining. *BOARD GAMES and how fun they used to be: Sorry, Trouble, Mouse Trap, etc. |
^^^ Co-sign on the board games. I played them all. I remember Life being so much fun, but I bought it about a year and a half ago and have only played it once. I don't know why I enjoyed it.

Wrestlemania used to be a big event.

i have a dance workout with barbie video that has jennifer love hewitt, age 11 (just a guess) in it... i got it when i was five and i'm about to turn 21. :)
sheer entertainment right there. |
*Kids Incorporated on the Disney Channel staring a very young Jennifer Love Hewitt & Fergie!
*Win Lose or Draw on Disney. My brother and I would play this all the time. *Baby Alive that was filled with water, so it ate and peed and pooped! *Those super complicated Lego sets. My mom would buy those for us and we would NEVER do them. *Playing Candyland, Hi Ho Cherry O, Chutes & Ladders, etc. *The Barbie house with the jacuzzi that made real bubbles. *Canopy style beds and daybeds. Every girl had one or wanted one. *Coloring, with your giant box of 100 crayons. Bonus if your box had the sharpener in the back. *Having parties at school for EVERY holiday. We would have a Xmas party, Halloween party, etc. Every parent would bring something ULTRA sugary and we'd pretty much have an all day party. Parents even brought cake and stuff for kid's birthdays. This is WAY before the whole "OMG my kids have to eat EVERYTHING organic and can't have ANY candy" revolution. *Valentine's Day at school and buying those Valentine cards in a box to give to everybody. At the end of the day, you had a bag full of them. Some of them had candy attached to them and those were the ones you liked the most. |

*Scented markers & Scratch and Sniff stickers!
*Lite Brite. *Playing Battleship, Twister, Connect 4, etc. *Big Wheel bikes (do they even make those anymore?) *Fraggle Rock. |

Does anyone like twister? I loved that game as a kid, and I love it more as an adult. I only like playing with hot women though.

And yes, I loved playing with that thingamabob! Also you forgot to add... Pay Day Etch-a-sketch Rubik's cube Missing Link (never found that link) Clue and my all time fav.... Monopoly! I remember winning the game when I was 4 and I was the dredded shoe! I beat the living snot outta my whole family (of course my Uncle had to help me count my "mondey.":D |
Lite Brite is a classic though. Even my kids (13 and 15) had a Lite Brite and loved it.

My girlfriends who lived next door were the only grandchildren in their family. For some reason, they used their parents' board games! Miss Scarlett looked a lot more sketchy back in the 1940's-50's!

Fave games as a little kid:
Clue Guess Who Monopoly (we had the San Diego edition because we lived there) |

Now if the song gets stuck there, we may have issues... haha |
Does anyone remember the game of Tiddlywinks? Or how about the Cootiers game!
My brother had Hot Wheels and he had the tracks that went with them. However, as I later learned, that hot wheels plastic track let marks on your butt when it was welded in lieu of a belt! |
One of my favorite games growing up... Shark Attack!
|
^^^*shivers* I just had a flashback of when Jaws first came out...
Lite Brite was awesome, but it sucked that the papers weren't really reusable. Once you'd used a paper, you'd poked holes in all the little circles that told you what color to put where! Quote:

*Those Mary Kate & Ashley movies/tv shows on video. They were like "Mary Kate & Ashley's Mystery Cruise" or "Escape to Witch Mountain" back when the Olsens were like 8.

I used to love Reading Rainbow, Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, and Where in the World is Carmen SanDiego! I had all of the Carmen games....Where in the World, US, Math, English....My favorite was Where in Time....I would love to find that game and use it in my classroom...You had to solve puzzles thoroughout time and you had so much fun you didn't even realizing you were learning history at the same time. I wasn't even into POGS that much, but I had friends that were...I used to hate Trolls...they scared me! lol! I used to love Darkwing Duck and those Disney channel movies/shows. Disney cartoon movies were so awesome growing up...Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Lion King, Mulan... My cousin had a huge crush on the Olsen twins...he was a member of their fan club and we used to watch all of the TV Movies on VHS. My best friend and I used to always go to her house on Friday nights, eat pizza, have a sleep over and watch TGIF! |
