I managed to get an N64 fairly shortly after it's release. I had a paper route when I was 7 years old and managed to save for all the cool shit. To this day I remember having to go to my buddies place to play it for the first time as it had RCA attachments, as opposed to the coaxle hookup. My family didn't know how to hook it up, but my buddies dad owned a home theatre company and had the required knowledge HaHa. Oh the technology.
prob before most of your times but I so remember having these as a kid... Looking at the toys I had growing up compared to now shit the toys were way better in the 80's

God toys ruled back then. I feel sorry for the kids of today with nothing but shitty apps that teach them to gamble and/or act like dicks to each other
“The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place... and I don´t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently, if you let it. You, me or nobody, is gonna hit as hard as life. But ain't about how hard you hit... It's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward... how much you can take, and keep moving forward. That´s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you worth, go out and get what you worth.” - Rocky Balboa
The thing I remember most is horror movies. During summer holidays my mom would take me to the video store almost everyday after she got home from work, I'd go rent a bunch of horror movies to watch and keep me busy well she's at work the next day.
I also remember a place called Acme Video where they had a popcorn machine and a fountain drink machine where you could help yourself well browsing for movies. The same video store used to store there Porno movies in the open right next to the Wrestling Videos, I spent a lot of time browsing the wrestling section.
Thinking back, my dad used to leave playboys laying around the house. Who needed internet when you had a dad that didn't give a fuck if you found his nudies......the 80's was a good time.

Those were not the original He-Man figures. The original stuff that I had were so supremely primitive -- the arm was only articulate at the single shoulder joint in a super primitive rotational joint. The legs were moulded as a single piece, with limited movement at the hip joint through some sort of elastic band / string.
Made no sense that I still bought a stock pile of them. Mom should have told me to go fxxk myself instead of buying them for me.
Where I grew up we didn't have access to cable, but we did have one of these bad boys in our yard for a while
Unfortunately whatever the piracy method was, my parents didn't keep up with, so there were barely any channels to watch. I did watch a lot of The Box though. That's 90's though, not really nostalgic enough

Yup I got all those channels (along with Playboy and Spice ), until it was time to reflash the card and my parents didn't bother to do so. After that we could only get like 2 or 3 channels
Who remembers the Vancouver Sun/Province in the late 80s and 90s, when they had the weekend funnies in a separate booklet from the paper? I just remembered them, and I think there's a stack at my parents' house for me to find. I've searched online, but couldn't find any image references. They were awesome for on-the-can reading
