Born in the 70's, grew up in the 80's....I thought I might kick this off with a few things I remember while growing up

Fun thread Soso! I remember Pogs too! Mine were all stolen one day in the 5th grade. Here's some other stuff I was into as a wee lad.

Used to spend my 5 dollar allowance every week on TMNT or Ghostbuster toys lol.

This was the pride of the fleet-

Someone gave me a box full of Pogs, must have been towards the end of their popularity as I never knew anyone that had any

[Ddladner]

Made many cakes and brownies in the Easy Bake Oven

[SozoZoso]

These were banned from my school....teachers didnt like cards with boils and puking on them

I had Sega Genesis too, but c'mon man, nothing beats Nintendo. BTW this was probably my favorite Sega game:

I only ever had the Sega growing up, until I saved enough for the PS1. Bought a NES a year ago, bought all the Mario and Zelda games too. Fun....but the nostalgia just isn't there

What about SNES? Download an emulator and play EarthBound, it is a must!

Dont think I've ever played a SNES.

Born the late 1980's and grew up in the 1990's. Played extensively with Polly Pocket Playhouses like this one:

Sadly, my beloved polly pocket playhouse was stolen and now I am looking to replace it!

I also used to play (a lot) with video games like this:

I swear that the hunting dog in the video game sounded A LOT like Mutley!

Honestly you should man, you won't regret it, SNES had some killer games.

I remember getting like 2 inches from the screen and shooting lol. I also remember blowing into the game cartridges when they wouldn't load properly! BTW off-topic, I always thought this guy sounds like Mutley too.

Pac Man was a big deal in high school, before that, pinball at the arcade.

[SozoZoso]

Does anyone remember the Vectrex?

[paul carruthers]

Werewolf... a great 1980s cult series that unfortunately will never get released to DVD because of some rights issue with the music. Chuck Connors was absolutely chilling in his role as Janos Skorzeny...

I loved pinball and still do, except they're hard to find around here.

I've heard of Atari and Colecovision but never Vectrex!
