What 90s/80s Stuff Do You Remember?

[paulr33]

now what ever happened to bravestarr haha gold

[Jenius]

damn all these posts have given my lots of flashbacks

so I'll guess I'll add the stuff I also remember,

my first PC when I was 10yrs old - IBM Clone Intel 80286 16Mhz with ultra cool 256 Colour VGA card and 1st ever Creative Soundblaster.

Sega GameGear

Nintendo Gameboy (them beige bricks)

NES (them bigger grey bricks with ultra ergonomic gamepads)

Nike Air Jordans (I had a pair of the 7th gen ones cost me like $180 back then)

tv shows like MacGyver, The A-Team, Knightrider, Hardcastle and McCormick, Moonlighting, Remington Steele, The Goodies and the Benny Hill Show.

classic 80's action movies like all those arnie movies like The Terminator, Raw Deal, Commando, Predator, The Running Man and Sly movies like Cobra, Rocky series and Rambo.

don't forget all those b-grade classics like No Retreat, No Surrender, Blood Sport and Kickboxer.

the oldskool performance car seen such as VH Commo's with massive 15inch simmons or hotwires and the dark purple tints.

Actually seeing the Nissan Mid-4 concept car at the 1986 Melbourne motorshow and later on the R32 GT-R at the 1992 motorshow.

being driven around as a kid in my uncles his brand new Nissan Pulsar ET Turbo he just picked up playing euro dance hits like Modern Talking, Paul Lekakis and Sabrina.

thats about all I remember so far from that era. but for some reason I remember the Macca's burgers being bigger and in them Styrofoam containers.

sodastream (do it yourself soda drinks at home)

[paulr33]

aww i miss the choc wedges, theyre were good and cheap too

[FEMFTL]

i never got a sodastream.. mum was a tightass... my neighbours had one though so that was good!.

What about that mr snowy or whatever it was called.. a snowman that you put ice cubes in and it crushed them and then you squrt syrup stuff on it for a icecone / drink thing.. i never got one of those either.. only some dodgy cup you had to put in the freezer and pour drink in wait for the drink to freeze to the sides of the cupthen you had to scrape it off ... eventually it would make a slushy drink.. .. ripped off.

speaking of slushys... can't go past the original slush puppy drinks. I think phillip island is the only place that sells them now.

oh and that 20c red or green cordial you could get from a machine usually outside supermarkets..

Haha, nice! I used to have a bravestarr action figure. I have an episode floating around on my PC somewhere too

[xRHETTx]

Yeah basketball cards were all the rage through primary school:

Fluer

Upperdeck

Hoops

And remember how much they all were in that A'Bekkets magazine or whatever it was? $30US shaq cards, never met anyone who ever actually sold a card for any money though.

And marbles.. until they banned them for causing too many fights and being an "illegal" form of "gambling"

kids actually playing outside till whatever hour instead of being glued to video games or the internet, when i think of my 13, 14 yr old cousins I feel sorry how their child hoods really do suck now compared to when I was a kid.

I remember beside all the TV stuff,

water balloon fights

nick knocking (or however you used to say it)

hiding up in my friends tree and throwing water balloons at passing cars

fire crackers

roller skating on saturday mornings

skateboarding

gang up tigy (not just at school)

skipping class to go and play streetfighter at the fish n chips shop

doing ghosties with our bmx bikes

and MARY POPPINS (even though it was made earlier I still enjoyed it)

and plenty more
