Sitcoms were actually funny back then.

im still kinda stuck in the 90s with my dial up internet. its kinda a clash of the ages though, computers brand new, but my internet speeds stuck in 1995
only thing I remember from the 90's was [IMG]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jwgEn5VhtjA/R8KNH0GjTeI/AAAAAAAAAUA/jgDW4XHU78w/s400/Baby-one-more-time-international-cover.jpg[/IMG] So hot!
I was born in 1989. My memories of the 1990s are watching the original two Home Alone films until my entire family hated Macaulay Culkin more than Hitler. I also remember Pokemon trading cards and literally [i]begging[/i] my parents for money to go buy more packs to try and get shiny cards. BACK IN MY DAY.
[QUOTE=jesseluver93;21762523] Before cellphones before 9/11 fucked shit up awesome cartoons awesome music awesome video games sega genesis super Nintendo n64 PlayStation 1 just the general vibe of the 90s.[/QUOTE] I was born in 1994 and I remember all of this,because my brother had about 120-150 PS1 games, The SNES with Demon's crest, the Mario game collection, Zombies ate my neighbors, some space game where you looked like an octorok mixed with master chief. (wish I new what this game was), and Zelda LTTP (which I always had to sneak in his room to play these games while he was gone or he would have killed me) In the years 1996-1999 I got my own N64,(A clear blue one)and the smaller SNES, I knew all 151 Pokemon before the alphabet,a big pikachu plushie, and enough pokemon toys to fill a toybox. But when I was at my aunt Bini's house, my three cousins and I would play Goldenaxe,(we always killed each other over the dragons) streets of rage II, Sonic 2, and this powerangers fighting game. The only sad thing about my childhood is that I never really got to experience these thing much: Play Final Fantasy VII ( my cousin nick would not let me near it) See all Road Rovers Episodes I only played Marvel vs Capcom 2 for like a day I only got to play the dreamcast for like a year (and the games my brother had for it was RE 1 or 2, house of the dead 2 and sonic adventure.)
One thing I love about being born in the late eighties, is that I can remember all of the nineties. Back in my day our parents weren't terrified to let us outside, plus computers were so shit and expensive we didn't have anything to do inside. Me and my mates did awesome stuff like... climb trees...and shit...OK I can't actually remember the nineties.
Shit, this is when Cartoon Network was badass too guys. Johnny Bravo Dexter's Lab Cow and Chicken 2 Stupid Dogs Powerpuff Girls Ed, Edd, and Eddy I Are Weasel etc. They were all conceived within the mid/late 90's, but without a shadow of a doubt it was Nickelodeon's high point and golden years.
Tivo.

People had bad fashion sense, listened to punk rock music, and taped tin foil to their jeans. Or at least that's what I remember.
[QUOTE=Im Crimson;21780100]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?[/QUOTE] I remember that too. Jane's Combat Simulations were all the rage back then with games like Longbow 2 and Fleet Command. Good times.
It was the best decade ever.
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;21762502]Off-white, with a slight brownish haze everywhere. Uncomfortably warm, but with incredible cartoons. This is how I remember them.[/QUOTE] That's scary cause I remember it the same way, except everything had an orange haze to it. [QUOTE=lazyguy;21779727]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.[/QUOTE] I remember sitting in the room I am in now watching the motorcade for her funeral. I didn't know who she was so I asked my mom, and then asked her if I should be sad. I was.
Nickelodeon, playing outside, and my sexy sexy N64. I do so miss playing outside... Seems no one does it anymore... :(
Oh yeah, i also think i remember my dad getting broadband as soon as it came out i think.

I was taking cabinets apart with an electric drill in 1998. I was 3.
[QUOTE=Dolton;21764025] Also, December 31st 1999.

The First Major Terrorist Attack on The united states: Wednesday April 19, 1995, The Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City Was bombed by Timothy McVeigh.
Neon clothing, lots of sweats, Pogs, Fresh-Prince, Pokemon... And my first computer game at the age of 3, Age of Empires.
Great television shows, great movies (still, to this very day, I remember going to the theaters with my father to watch Jurassic Park, as if it was yesterday, a movie that literally marked my mind and imagination and sparked what would become years of interests about freakin' dinosaurs), good music, good economy, and the very best moments of competition and debates that the video gaming industry has ever known, because [I]SEGA does what Nintendon't[/I], also 9/9/99 «[I]It's Thinking[/I].»
The 90's were the pinnacle of annoying music IMO. You talk about all of them sounding the same. The highlight of the 90's for me was playing the first Worms game and Saturday morning cartoons. On a whole I'd say it was pretty good.:v: Also Godzilla movie.
