I really liked that show.
My uncle had 1,5mbps internet on the university.
Everyone was jealous :smug:
I also played lots of demos. Didn't really had money to buy games.
Everything took forever to download, television was actually decent and music was much better
I hadnt discovered the internet in those times, I remember playing doom and Age of Empires 1, my all time favourite game.
[QUOTE=NotMeh;21772476]1991 - Collapse of the Soviet Union
First Post-Soviet years = utter shite, hunger and poorness[/QUOTE]
Oh you Eastern Europeans.
So, tell me, you guys in former Soviet countries. What was life in a Communist country like? That is, if you were born when they still were communist.
Those were good times, too bad we can't go back and re-live it :sigh:
shit ppl got alot dumber.
Paying by minute for Internet.
Good Disney movies, dial-up Internet. BEEEP SCRREEECH.
[QUOTE=veribigbos1;21772732]It was the time when video games still focused on the [b]plot and character development[/b] more than graphics.[/QUOTE]
Really now? Most I remember from gaming in the 90s was hopping around platforms collecting dots. If there's something modern games are missing it's gameplay, not story, modern games have freakin' Hollywood writers in the team.
It was the peak of human civilization, just as stated in The Matrix.
I was born in 1988, so I can remember everything from about 1992 onward. I remember being obsessed with "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" in the early nineties, and also watching these T.V. shows: "Doug", "Rugrats", "Wild and Crazy Kids", "What Would You Do?", "All That", "Legends of the Hidden Temple", "Are You Afraid of the Dark?", and "The Adventures of Pete and Pete".
It is my favorite decade for rock music and I remember listening to "Nirvana", "Stone Temple Pilots", "Smashing Pumpkins", "Weezer"(loved the Blue Album), "Alice in Chains", "Silverchair", "Collective Soul", and "Green Day"(Dookie album). CD players were still in their infancy, so I listened to my older sister's tapes on an old piece of shit Walkman tape player.
Also, you know you're a nineties kid if your grade school teacher popped in a Laserdisc instead of a DVD. If you remember, they looked like fucking vinyl records.
Damn, there's just too much nostalgia to list....just remember this; it was a lot better than the decade we just came out of.
Well.....
56k
Pokemon
Denim lots of it
Shitty music
Awesome TV
and VCRs
Goddamn eurodance crap everywhere and me trying to escape reality with my 33.6kbps dialup modem while watching cheesy shows.

Great times,where scholarship and medicine was free,and you could travel all over the world with one salary.
90's weren't so fun for former Yugoslav countries.
Stupid clothes, buzz-words, X-TREME productz, gangsta rap, grunge, the Millenium Bug, the Simpsons.
How can a decade that starts with Margaret Thatcher's resignation be bad
I can sum up the 90's in 4 words.
[b]WHO LOVES ORANGE SODA?[/b]
I remember living in poverty and having to actually save money. While you jackasses enjoyed the American 90'ies, the post Soviet-bloc countries were in bad shape. Like they still are.
[QUOTE=Ori Child;21762286]56k Dial-up :smug:
Fastest internet around.[/QUOTE]
:psyduck:
edit: I was born in 1990 and remember quite a few things.
First off, the Super Nintendo dominated the first 6 years of my life, the last 4 of the 90's was AWESOME nickolodeon shows
Jean jackets were the shit.
[QUOTE=sami-pso;21762425]Most people recall things from being 5 years old.
If you're born 1990 you will know what it was like. But you will remember more trivial matters as world news never reached you.[/QUOTE]
Generally you remember things from 3, though obviously your memory becomes much more reliable once you get a bit older. I was born in March 1994 and remember Princess Diana dying. I also remember being told I was getting a sister, who is three years and four days younger than me.
Interesting fact about PC games in the nineties: Flight sims were the king of graphics, a role now largely taken over by FPS's. RTS's might be up next for the title?
Nickelodeon
Fucking Awesome Music
The Exponential growth of the Internet
Windows 95 and 98
Downpour of AOL trial Discs
I wonder what 2010-2020 will be remembered for? Probably for being shitty :/
A generation that do nothing but go 'lol' on facebook
ITT: We're gonna party like it's 1999.

On-topic, I guess it was good for most people, at least in the US. Soviet Union fell, Cold War ended, technology's booming, etc..
