This is a bit embarrassing, but there actually wasn't a 1993, we accidentally skipped directly from 1992 to 1994 and by the time anyone noticed it was too late. Whenever you see someone attribute something to 1993 it means they can't actually remember when it was beyond being vaguely early 90s-ish.

Nelson Mandingo posted:A lot of the movies that came out in 1993 were loving incredible instant classics and seeing Jurassic Park in theater was something young me won't forget.  I saw all of these in theaters and more. Going to the movies in 1993 wasn’t going to bankrupt you if you went to the matinee, at night, or waited until they hit the second run theaters. The blockbusters were the ones you saw right away in the best theaters, though.

Ah, 1993. The world couldn't get enough of Kirby's Adventure on NES. Animaniacs were all anyone watched. I think that's it.

1993 was the first year to have two Star Trek series airing new episodes at the same time! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WZCFy4NaJBE&pp=ygUMMTk5MyBjaXR5IHR2

There was a new automotive sensation in 1993, the Chrysler LH cab forward sedans! The Dodge Intrepid, Eagle Vision and Chrysler Concorde were being talked about as a big advancement in car styling and engineering. The hype died down fast as people remembered that they were built by Chrysler. The Eagle Vision ironically was difficult to drive at night because it had lovely headlights.

I had been married since late 1989 (Still am!), and Mystery Science Theater 3000 was our go-to decompression show. We were teachers (Still are!) and that show was a great stress reliever. Lots of laughs.

There was a comedy show on tv called The Jimeoin Show. Sketches, funny songs etc. One night they had a song in the theme of like an old timey sea -shanty about one Sarah Parry and her huge tits. My teachers name was Sarah Parry and she got real mad at me.

It was depressing as gently caress. AIDS recently hit the mainstream, bush 1 recession was in full force, grunge was popular music, tv was garbage, there was no internet other than like America online.

HORSE-SLAUGHTERER posted:1993 in the playground, northern england: Hey fellow Northern England goon! All of the above, plus: - Teletext started on ITV and Channel 4. The birth of Digitiser, which leads me on to... - Commodore/Amiga Format (the former with Power Pack tapes, woo!) - GamesMaster was still going strong on Channel 4, little did we know that Dominik would leave after series 2 due to McDonalds sponsoring the show, to be replaced by Dexter Fletcher (the less said about Series 3 the better!) - Motormouth on CITV had ended (I will never forget "It's Torture" and the live action Mouse Trap games, despite there being barely any footage of them online) so we finally got the sequel to Ghost Train, called Gimme 5 (and Nobby the Sheep returned!) - Over on BBC we had the final series of Going Live! (Not that we were aware of it yet) - Pogs/Tazos were absolutely massive. Also Merlin footy sticker albums (both were later banned by my primary school) - WWF was big in the UK despite suffering a decline in the USA. Razor Ramon, The Undertaker and Bret Hart were my favourite wrestlers. Even as a 10 year old I knew Hulk Hogan was a massive bellend I was a gamer as a child, can you tell?

Being old but maybe not quite as old as Genesplicer, I was in college in 1993. Also I was a horrible nerd. The internet was a thing that existed but most of us didn't have it at home and if we did it was by dial-up which was horribly slow and inconvenient. I never bothered with that since I lived within walking distance of the 24/7 open computer labs on campus, with unlimited free connection much faster than any modem could give you. It was the year the first graphical web browser was made available. At first a curiosity. The real stuff was textbased: I spent an awful lot of time on Usenet back then. Gaming-wise, I was mostly into PC strategy games, which I'd carry around on floppies and install on whatever PC I was using at the moment (pulled some all-nighters with Civilization or Master of Orion at those aforementioned computer labs). Didn't have a computer in my student apartment. 1993 was a pretty good year for movies, we got Jurassic Park and Demolition Man and whatnot. Music-wise, we were still in grunge territory; as a Scandinavian metalhead I however spent a lot more time with the nascent death-doom and black metal genres. These were the days of burning churches.

I was obsessed with a story called something like “the dog, the caterpillar and the sausage” where the caterpillar died, the sentient sausage got chopped up and the dog drowned; I read it over and over again. It was in a book called “Things I can read at five years old” and my parents said “He shouldn’t be reading that at his age. He’s six”

we went to chain restaurant buffets a lot because I ate for free and I'd already learned spite and how to punch kids in the face so they bled a lot because of a wonderful home environment. my local grocery chain had chuck e cheese-level animatronics that sang to kids and I looked forward to one of them singing his special song to me after a lovely day at school once and he didn't work and I was 6 years old and sad so my mom ran over my feet with the grocery cart several times to distract me from going back and pushing the button to see if he worked again at the end of the trip because I could barely walk. 1993 sucked. ETA: the smoking section in restaurants was separated by some plexiglass and I had lovely lungs and coughed a lot after going to one of those many chain restaurant buffets when we ended up getting sat near smoking. I still have to stop myself from saying "non-smoking section, please" at restaurants, which is weird since that ended a long time ago
