3000ArticlemickyarberGreat article. I was into all of them except for the roller blades. Had a huge collection of POGs, and when my friends and I played, it was for keeps. I remember it was usually three of us, and we each would put in 2 pogs each round. Whatever you won, you kept. I had the fanny pack, but that was around 7th grade. Everyone wore them to school for some reason. Slap bracelets made their way through our school in around the 5th grade probably. I can remember spending a whole week's allowance on nothing but slap bracelets one time. What a waste. Laser pointers were huge for me, mainly because they were popular when I was into buying and selling goods...mostly stuff you would find at a flea market. I'd pick up these pointers that came with 10 changeable tips for $4. I turn around and sell them for $10. It may be hard to believe, but I could sell anywhere from 25-50 of those things a week for several months in the midst of their popularity! And that was just dealing them out of my trunk. I made a lot of money with laser pointers. And you know fanny packs were cool since Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is sporting one in that photo. This article may could have used a sixth item....Hackey Sack. It was every bit the fad these others were too. Really fun read that brought back a lot of memories. Oct 23, 2015View
202ArticleProphetSwordGreat article. I remember Showbiz pizza. Didn't realize that there was such a sordid history behind all this, though. That was an eye-opener.ShowBiz Pizza RememberedJan 25, 2013View
5253ArticleoniparGreat article! I sorta missed the Pokemon boat somehow. I think the recent Detective Pokemon was the first Pokemon related entertainment I ever consumed, despite having that Pokemon 20000 movie on VHS at one point.

2511ArticlemassrealityGreat article! I picked up a Pokemon game on the DS a few years back (the one with the Pokewalker). I had never played one before that, but I had a lot of fun with it. I wish I had grown up playing it, but I think I missed the Pokemon craze by a year or so. Age of PokemonAug 13, 2015View

1097ArticleVaporman87Great article! I would think that to have your birthday in the depths of Summer must be a grand occasion. You can have your choice of locale (inside or outside... if it's not TOO hot), the days are long, and nobody is suffering seasonal depression. Although I did not feel like The Lost World was a terrible sequel, I wasn't blown away by it either. However, it is very easy to understand why films take on a whole new level of importance and status in the days of our youth. I'm sure there are many films from the 80's that most people would deem "awful" but were so fantastic to me, and likely still are, simply because they affected me in my youth. And you can't fault anyone for that. Thanks kstrom!A Lost World BirthdayMay 23, 2014View
2040ArticleDerkGreat article, Vkimo! I definitely miss the glory days of the RetroJunk forum. It was certainly a lot of fun until horrible posters and the bugs showed up. There were some 'special' moments on that forum. I'm sure others who were there for a decent amount of time remember the 'death' of Pixies... Good times.Remembering RetroJunkFeb 22, 2015View
