what do you remember from way back

[Andrew Bohan]

i remember seeing billboards for checkered vans in the mid 80s
http://www.zappos.com/images/722/7226411/985-12489-d.jpg

i remember when you were the shit for having a haro, mongoose, or dyno, and reading radical rick comics in bmx plus

i remember having a tv that actually had a dial, and it only went to channel 13. and i remember getting it NEW. it was black and white btw.
so "don't touch that dial" and "click through the channels" actually made sense, as well as calling the remote the "clicker" when they first came out.

i remember watching new episodes of CHiPS on tv

man those were the days

[lucky7]

i dont know if they were new episodes at the time, but i surely remember chips.

i had a pair of checkerboards with orange laces. when i was in 1st grade. lol.

youve got a few years on me. but i remember a few things.

[Tops*]

I remember playing two-hand-touch football everyday in recess. I wore my #20 Barry Sanders jersey and was the best running back there ever was! Then he retired...Detroit Lions :fawk2:

[SlideWell]

i remember when i didnt have DEBT. DEBT DEBT DEBT
ohhhh its good to be a kid.
i remember when i could fill up my civic EK for $13 in Florida in 2000.

[punxva]

i do remember the dyno and haro bike phase, i also remember seeing my first 240sx, in a nissan dealership brand new... it was a 93 hatchback...

[Phlip]

i do remember the dyno and haro bike phase, i also remember seeing my first 240sx, in a nissan dealership brand new... it was a 93 hatchback...

You REMEMBER when you were 5?
I remember only small details about when I was 5, and it usually takes somethign to remind me... For instance, we used to live on Byrd Street when I was 5, and I remember sitting on the handlebars of my sister's friend's bike and falling off and it requiring a trip to the emergency room, that one is easy to remember.
More obscure was the feeling about the guys who lived behind us "damn, those guys have a lot of dogs!" and how I would not even REMOTELY remember those guys until they got arrested and were on the news for an illegal dog breeding/fighting ring back in 1999, a full 14 years after we had moved out of the neighborhood.
As far as things I remember that I am nostalgic about, there aren't a whole lot, outside of the early/mid-80s San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Lakers, The Thundercats, $0.35 cans of Cheerwine soda, sitting next to the radio with a cassette tape on pause to record your favorite songs, your favorite songs actually coming on the radio, I remember when we actually were expected to play outdoors and did it tirelessly for hours on end, no matter the weather. Days would go by and we'd have played baseball, football, basketball and a marathon game of hide & seek involving the WHOLE neighborhood as the "field" and most of the kids in the neighborhood as participants... I remember how there would always be wrecks at this intersection like 2 blocks from my granny's house, and hearing them, then walking to the corner to see the carnage. First time I ever saw someone actually dead/dying. It took them forever to realize that there needed to be a stoplight at that damned intersection.

Hell, I guess I DO remember a whole lot of shit from my childhood.

[exitspeed]

I remember that Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes figures were hard as hell to find.

I remember my day picking me up every weekend and going to Toy's R Us to get the next figure for Vehicle Voltron.

Garbage Pail kids.

I remember finding my uncles NWA tape and listening to it real quietly up-stairs and it changing my world.

I remember discovering breakdancing back in 96.

I remember how completely dope it was going to the club being fresh to death.

I could go on forever. I love reminiscing.

Back in the day when I was young I'm not a kid anymore but some days I wish I was a kid again.

-mongoose bmx bike

[TheRonTom31]

I remember the awesomeness of 70's style cartoons in the 80's. Original Transformer, GI Joe, Scooby doo. Man, cartoons rocked hard back then. NES and playing games like Battle toads, Metal Gear and the first time I played duck hunt and instantly hated that damn dog. I remember the best cereal EVER Kaboom. Crystal pepsi. I REMEMBER THE DAY I GOT MY LICENCE GAS WAS $0.96.

[Maxstyle]

-Atari Lynx and Game Gear.
-Oh and the very rare Turbo Graphics 16 system.
-Parking lot hang outs with a large group of cars that cops never busted.

I have this game for Atari but I CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO PLAY IT. I always thought the cartridge was broken. How the hell is it suppoed to work?

Anyways I am still young but I remember
-having to go to DOS to play games (on floppy disks)
-writing papers in elementary school on an Apple II.
-I remember before I could drive gas being in cents.
-Biker Mice from Mars anybody?

When I was young I still played outside with the whole neighborhood, I live on a HUGE block with a bike path and park in the middle. Manhunt, home run derby, running bases. I think I am the last generation to do that.

[kingkilburn]

DO you mean school house rock? Or like how the GI JOE cartons had the whole knowing is half the battle thing at the end.

[Koopa Troopa]

No it was a special that followed one kid and different scenarios he would encounter on the way to school and random cartoon heros, i.e. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, GI Joe, Planeteers, etc. would give him advice on how to follow the right path.

It was like an hour special...

Me too. It takes me like a year to figure out these acronyms everyone uses. I hardly even touched a computer before I was like 19.

well if you wanna bring computers into it i'll play along

my first computer was an Atari 800. some of my earliest memories are of playing grover's space something or other on that hoss.
this was followed by a classy classic 286, and then a 386. for christmas one year i got a Creative cd-rom kit. came with an 8x cd rom drive and a pair of speakers. finally, oregon trail would be both in color and with 16 bit sound.
we got a Packard Bell desktop when Windows 95 came out. 120mhz Pentium. doom and quake never ran so sweet.
in 1998, for my birthday, i was in for a treat. 450mhz AMD K6-2. 2x cd BURNER. Voodoo 3 2000 video card. FUCK YEAH. we actually had a second phone line installed so we could be on dialup without interrupting the house phone. i could burn a whole 74 minute CD in just over half an hour, provided it didn't underrun. i could download enough 128kbps mp3's off napster or IRC to FILL a 74 minute disc in, oh, about half a day if i kept up on it. and when you bought in bulk packs over 100, you could get blank cdr's for a dollar a disc! what a bargain. in 1999 when i was a freshman in highschool, i sold mix cd's for a dollar a track, minimum 10 tracks. i also sold fake oakleys, which were HUGE.

I breakdanced during that time frame (late 90's) and I think of it as back in the day. Maybe cause my life was playing out like the 105 mins of Beat Street, so it feels more old school to me.

shit was RAD. i used to dick around with that when i was about four or five... i wasn't allowed to use the 386 until i was like eight or something... our first computer with fucking sound was a 120mhz Packard Bell pentium.. when i was 13 i got my first cd burner, it was 2x and took 35 minutes to burn a disc if it didn't fail. freshman year of highschool i sold mix cd's for a dollar a track, ten track minimum...

and now i have a box that cost like a third of what that 450mhz machine with the cd burner cost, and it has three terabytes of storage.

Pharcyde never had a song called Back in the Day. You are thinking about Amhad

The video came out in the mid 90s I think 94, but if you grew up in the Norcal Bay Area is the 80s then this song is for you.

What about B.U.M. equipment, skidz, and KARATE SHOES!

Did anyone have the transformer game (no system, the game was the system) where you put two magnetic pieces on the corner of your tv and plug it to your tv? It knew where you shot by where the magnets were. Damn, I had some TIMES with that!

[Don Nguyen]

Not exactly the same design/colors, but those things that you would slap on your wrist and it'll curl up on it.

I remember having those when I was younger.

The two best games in history is mario 64 (because of it's incredible graphics) and Final Fantasy 7 (best story ever!)

Not exactly old games but still 95-99ish.

You could sit and watch Saturday morning cartoons all morning long....

[Phlip]

Going the fuck outside to play when Saturday Morning Cartoons ended, weather be damned.
For those not in NC, "weather" is:
Jan - early March = cold and potentially snowy/icy
April - Early June = warm and fucking rainy, don't park and leave the windows open.
Mid-June - July = HOTTER THAN FUCK, but it still might rain
Aug-Sept = still fucking hot, but the rains stop... 108º days make you forget that it was 20º just 6 months earlier.
October = cools off, beautiful color changes
November = More cooling, if it rains, it MIGHT ice
December = stay in the house, it is cold, and if it rains, it WILL ice.

[projekt_s13]

Sega 32x,"Where in the world is Carmen San Diego?" and Number Munchers

[articdragon192]

Wait wait, I thought we already had 80s and 90s thread.

[Andrew Bohan]

this is the 1988 and before thread

70s counts too

anything that qualifies as "way back," which is 20 years ago and beyond.

it was supposed to be about society and culture and trends and stuff, but people turned it into a tv show thread and people keep trying put 90s stuff in it too.

Well if you think about it, most 240 drivers are in their late teens and early twenty's.

So most cant relate to the OG's.
