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.

Golden eye music scared the shit out of me.

Hell yeah man, I had the cyclops and the skeleton guy. I really wanted the eyeball but I guess it was sold out everywhere.

Everyone remembers Transformers, but Gobots were quite the rage in the early 80s too!

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 FailFish

I remember the He-Man toys

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.

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. :tears:

My Heman figures had the chest that would flip and show scarring during "battle". Good times.

red_2 10-26-2016 02:56 PM

Definitely brought back some feels as watched probably 90% of these Tom Cruise movies!

!Aznboi128 10-28-2016 03:14 PM

Oh man I remember those boxes, so many channels!!!
Anyone updated to the card boxes later?

SkinnyPupp 10-28-2016 05:56 PM

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

http://img00.deviantart.net/d85d/i/2...production.jpg

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 LUL

Hondaracer 10-28-2016 07:06 PM

A lot of the viet guys I knew growing up all had the illegal dish setup

Seemed like such a headache to keep it going all the time having to reflash the cards etc.

Not to mention there were like 2000 channels with seemingly no organization

Yup I got all those channels (along with Playboy and Spice :ifyouknow: ), 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 FeelsBadMan

played this at friends' house during lunch hour in grade school

i thought the stage where you have to invert the dualshock controller was genius (i didn't play metal gear solid yet back then)

i didn't realize it was a Japan-exclusive...makes sense it was probably a cracked PSX system

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 ;)
