EDIT: I remember how cool it used to be to find out a thing you liked had a website with poo poo to do on it. I bet every kid's thing has a cool interactive website today.

My cousins lived in New Jersey, about an hour away from my house, and every time we visited I just absolutely had to play a "game" they had on their computer. This "game" was called After Dark, and it was actually a screen saver program. I used to do this to as a kid, we had a Simpsons one. And Disney one, I think. I would just watch all the screensavers for hours. Cherished memories  Also, I had that 3D Dinosaur Adventures game that had a bunch of dinosaur-related things, including a movie theater where you could watch sweet claymation dinosaur shorts. I am pretty sure this one about the extinction of the dinosaurs gave me nightmares: http://youtu.be/PoIxrgVVwZ8

The wiki page shows that Real STILL has a late 90s-era site page for it. http://egg.real.com/vivo-player/vivodl.html I've got some of those magazines from the 90s with the interesting internet pages index in the back that I need to dig up and go through to see if any of them are still active.

On another musical note, today i just remembered out of nowhere, a track that a young teen phlix thought was hella cool. Bitching raps, and a killer sense of fashion. Of course I'm talking about "Dog Eat Dog - No Fronts" http://youtu.be/41KJCoydlEU What the gently caress was I on about? Look at his got drat hair! Every kid in the mid-90īs had that cut. At least here in Denmark.

There was a Yak-bak-like (voice changing, echo effects, etc) toy that was shaped like a hockey puck and had a telescoping megaphone on one end that you could pull out. Anyone remember what it was called?

Those catalogs they used to put in every set were the best things. I grew up poor, so I mostly only got the $3-5 sets, but I spent so many hours over the years daydreaming about the big sets in those catalogs. They don't include them in sets anymore. It's a shame.

On the subject of Power Rangers copy cats, the one I remember best -- though I was really too old to get into any of them by the time it was on -- was the Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog. It was an attempt at making an original series rather than just important lots of Japanese footage, and had an Irish mythology theme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGQY9ZJPnsg I don't believe it was very good.

Man, I went through the entire thread wondering why Friday the 13th the series wasn't mentioned. I watched it in the 90's. It felt very 90's, too. But then I found out it ended in 1990. I didn't realize my childhood was so behind.

I just remembered this thread where someone found a diary kept during the earlyish 90s. Pretty interesting stuff, but you'll need the archives to read it, I think: Going nowhere fast... falling so hard we never look back.

You want campy 90's poo poo? I'll throw down the gauntlet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lU8vSa5se0 Swamp Thing...if you were a child in the 90s you remember this cartoon. Or how about the Toxic Crusader: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRYraEmH9oo  90s poo poo could also be downright terrifying:  And...rollerblades....

I still remember this episode of Are you Afraid of the Dark as freaking me out the most The Tale of the Super Specs- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84J529wKshU I still find it kind of creepy, drat. And a couple cartoons I used to watch before school, these have probably been posted already, but these are probably the first ones I think of when it comes to 90s cartoons. King Arthur and the Knights of Justice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNjhbOH8m2U I still remember one episode where they were trying to fight some dudes, and they couldn't beat them, so they figured out they could fight them with Judo, because it hadn't been invented yet where they were! Fuckin' Mutant League https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEmSMvdMH4M Looking back at this now I can't believe how graphic it was. Body parts being ripped off everywhere and used as bats and balls and poo poo. And this is the best cartoon intro of the 90's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLKYOSiW7U4

I don't know if US goons will know this one as I'm not sure if it was ever released there (certainly not a hit), but as far as I'm concerned, no tune is more '90s than this: Baby D - Let Me Be Your Fantasy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Wt1nvsoKno Also for extra '90s goodness, the full eight minute version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHLoP1pFxAs

I remember playing an educational Windows game back in the mid 90s that had you exploring a castle and solving various puzzles usually related to history. It was a point and click style and I'm positive it came on a disc with Windows 95. Anyone remember what it was called?

I remember in elementary school when devil sticks became really popular. You know, the two sticks you'd hit a third stick with and try to do tricks that little kids could never do. There was one different kind of stick thing after but I'm not 100% sure what it was called. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIX-QP6b24A&feature=related Flash Forward = my childhood. I remember this show so well even to this day with a young Ben Foster and Jewel Staite and I vaguely remember Ryan Gosling stopping in as the pretty boy villain in a couple episodes. Oh lord, I will always call Jewel 'Becca'.

Jesus Christ, this loving thread. I've spent the past couple days just poring over this thread from start to finish, so much stuff unearthed that I've forgotten about entirely - or, at least, I thought I did. Here's some TV-related stuff that I haven't seen mentioned in the thread. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UFg2GpMFKY The Prevue Channel. That music.  During the first year of Cartoon Network, it consisted of a lot of Warner Bros. and Hanna-Barbera cartoons. Then at 11PM every weeknight, it would shift to Late Night Black and White. All of that time spent watching old 1930's cartoons when I should have been sleeping. Have the theme and the opening/ending bumpers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijISSOiY90c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jh3dHNvcecI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNpeyi0Xo9w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQcV25PDHP4 This is purely a local thing when I was a kid, but it's so campy and dated that it's universally funny. The local Fox network had employed their own mascot of sorts, and his name was Mike Malibu: A super cool  dude who wore a Hawaiian shirt, shades, a ballcap, and skateboarded everywhere he went. He always advertised upcoming cartoons, and he had some sweet deals with McDonald's and the Fox Kids' Club. These are total gems...and by gems, I mean that I'm positive he looks back on this stuff today in total shame.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxFWn_XPiuw The channel showing the rest of them. http://www.youtube.com/user/MikeMalibuFan/videos?view=0 Every Saturday, once the cartoons ended and boring things came back on, there was always one theme that came on during the afternoons. A theme everyone knows. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIAI-Ivv6H4 Last, but not least: I seldom watch television, so I'm not entirely up-to-date on a lot of things since I stopped watching. I was completely unaware that Nickelodeon Studios is no longer a thing, and hasn't been a thing for a few years now. I always assumed it to be something that's always there - I mean, it's Nickelodeon! The holy land for every kid in the 90's who got to enjoy the golden age of Nickelodeon.  9-year-old me is crying like a motherfucker. RIP.

I think every school banned slap bracelets because they were "dangerous" even though nobody had ever seen anyone get hurt with them. Was that the earliest "think of the children" bullshit? It's the earliest one I can remember. For a while, Tech Deck fingerboards were the Big Thing where I was growing up. All the cool kids had at least one, with a little set of tools, and I remember trading wheels with other kids. You were even cooler if you could do tricks with them. Most I ever managed was a clumsy ollie, but it was still fun. Also goddamn this thread. Now I'm going to have loving Summer Girls stuck in my head. That song had the worst lyrics. Dude seriously just threw lines in there apropos of loving nothing because he needed a rhyme.
