| 2113 | Article | Vaporman87 | No, no, no, no, no, no... NO! It can't end like this. You danced with the girl of all girls! What happened after this? Did you call her? Did you see her again after that? C'mon man... don't leave us hanging! Cliffhangers aside, I can only wish I had a story like this to relate. Well, I suppose I have had dances like that (just Proms though) where I was thinking, "Wow. This is really happening right now." But not when it was a girl whom I had this overbearing fancy for. That's just... childhood magic. No... most of my dances were spent sitting on the bleachers, watching others enjoy themselves. Typically I was focusing on one girl in particular, hoping she would show up. Not to dance with her, as I had no guts to ask and she was WAY out of my league, but to just watch and take in her beauty in whatever nice dress she'd be wearing. Yeah... it was pretty pathetic to be me sometimes. LOL | Mar 20, 2015 |  | |
| 2111 | Article | Vaporman87 | Firstly, it's great to see you making your mark here at long last mass! You've been hiding some excellent writing talent from us for far too long. Secondly, I played every single one of these titles (though some NOT on PC) and have my own experiences and memories of each. However, I'm only going to concentrate on two of them. Ahh, Nascar Racing. And here I thought Papyrus' first Nascar outing had been completely lost in the dustbin of history. I loved this game for a short time when it first came out. My favorite thing about the game (as with most PC games I played) was the option for customization. I loved being able to create my own Nascar ride, complete with stickers and designs of my own creation. My car was sponsored by Rutland Furniture (our furniture store at the time). LOL. The #87 Rutland Furniture car was well known in the Nascar Racing universe for doing a 180 and heading in the reverse direction, making contact with the first car heading the other way, and watching as complete and utter destruction followed. Man, pieces of cars would fly everywhere in that game. I loved that. And since it was just a game, I was not disqualified for it, so I would turn around and win the race because nobody else's cars survived the turmoil. LOL Finally, NBA Live! I can't remember what year it was, but my copy of NBA Live allowed you to create, not just teams, but ENTIRE LEAGUES! I never played with the NBA guys. I instead created an entire league based on a fictional league my brother and I created in order to perform a sports radio program that we recorded on cassette tape. I made the rosters for 12 teams, one player at a time, and watched as I took myself out of the game, and just let the CPU handle the teams and who would win. It was as close to creating your own basketball league and watching the drama play out as you could get. I hate that NBA games these days don't allow this level of customization anymore. I miss that dearly. | My Favorite PC Games of the 90's | Mar 20, 2015 | |
| 2110 | Article | Ruespieler | It's funny that you wrote this. A few months ago I was looking at the "cheap" toy aisle at a local department store, and was shocked by how little had changed. It really did bring me back, 90% of the toys there would have been right at home in my toy box, more than 30 years ago. Everything else in toys is different, but not that aisle. An you're right, the dollars earned on those same molds must be in the hundreds of millions of dollars by now. Has to be some kind of record. | Poor Kids Toybox | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2109 | Article | ThatDudeintheHoodie | I agree with that. Though that I saw when I read up on things is that the 90's for the earlier part of it was 80s part 2. | What the Nineties Mean to Me | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2108 | Article | SegaFanatic | This was me as a kid! I ALWAYS wanted to shop at these places; cap guns and Power Rangers ruled the aisles! Great article, vkimo! | Poor Kids Toybox | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2106 | Article | Vaporman87 | I should say that I certainly don't disregard the entire decade as "not that special". When I say that I felt it lacked it's own identity, I didn't mean that to say it wasn't still special. I know for those spending their formative years in the nineties, they were the most special decade ever. Thankfully, that decade had many things carry over from the eighties, and those kids could benefit from the spirit of the eighties. Something I don't think millennials can appreciate. | What the Nineties Mean to Me | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2105 | Article | Vaporman87 | I think, even with these "dollar store" toys, you still get what you pay for. Even if it's a dollar more than the other package, the more expensive item is likely made a little bit better. My typical cheap toy choices were things like plastic insects, silly putty, or army men. | Poor Kids Toybox | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2104 | Article | Mr Magic | I think Kurt Cobain had something to do with flannel shirts being cool. I miss the Nabisco Thing, btw. What made the 90s great for me was playing Sega Genesis and watching Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network every day. Yep, it was a special time. | What the Nineties Mean to Me | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2102 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Interesting overview of a decade. You are about the same as as my niece, so when you mentioned Wishbone I remember watching that with her at age 4 or so (keep in mind, I was only 12 or 13). I used to call him "Fishbone" just to mess with her. I loved when Ghost Writer would follow, definitely more my style. I was never fooled by the shows that tried to make learning "fun" like Bill Nye or Beakman. At least Mr. Wizard was as boring as any science teacher, so you knew what you were getting. | What the Nineties Mean to Me | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2101 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @Vaporman87 there was a Dad on The Hogan Family? I only caught it sporadically during the Sandy Duncan Years, but I could have sworn it was about a widow raising her boys. That's crazy. | Top 5 TV Dads of the 80's | Mar 19, 2015 | |
