Anybody else? It started in St Louis, so I'm not sure if it was shown in other areas.

Also, anybody remember those little plastic clips for your shoestrings? They took away from the fact that you couldn't re-tie your shoes if they came undone in preschool with the fact that they looked like a cartoon character.

This boxart was so awesome. I wanted to buy this game purely cos of the boxart and few modern games have made me want to do that. *sounds like a thread topic*

Out of this World can suck it.

Flashback was awesome. ^_^
 
I remember my dad's IBM Aptiva had a game with two characters named Stinky and Lil' Howie. Holy shit the HOURS I spent playing that game.

It had catchy stuff like

"We're going to the attic, the attic's full of stuff, we never know if we have too much or even have enough"

Holy mother god I would kill if someone could find a link to the game and whether it works in Windows 7.

Edit: It's a damn shame I am taking an extended break from games right now. I don't know, something just doesn't feel right these days.

These M&Ms aren't that old (discontinued in 2005), but I remember buying a pack a week when they first came out in 1999.

Also who else gave out Valentine cards and candy to the entire classroom when they were in elementary school?

Me and my buddy spent so much time at our "game studio" making games before I broke off to start my own, lol. I was the animator, he was the point and clicker. Once I learned how to point and click I broke off and did my own thing.

I had an over head tank game where you could go inside buildings and the roof would turn transparent, every single wall and building could be blown up if you shot it enough. I really feel like I took that program to it's limits.

We also made a kiryb look a like that was blue and would spit at enemies, called spitball.

Yeah I'm 22 now and taking computer science at college thanks to that program.

Loved this game but the home console versions were really awful :(

I never got rid of my Brio magnet trains apparently. I was rummaging through my old closet at home and found a huge tupperware full of them.

Luckily for my nostalgic tendencies, I have a 4 year old brother. I set up a track and train with him and he absolutely loved it. Makes me glad I never threw that stuff away.

I also had a bunch of vintage Lego sets. I was a big fan of the old space shuttle/launch pad set, probably from like 1990. I still have it set up on my desk back home, with a bunch of little modifications I made as a kid, like astronauts swinging from suspension beams and stuff. Personally, I think it's damn cool looking. I dunno if that makes me a man child or not.

I lived in Nebraska and grew up with the Letter People! :D
Tall Teeth! Munching Mouth! Ripping Rubberbands!
 
Garbage pail kids. Anyone else used to play that throwing game? The one who threw their card closest to the wall would win all the cards? :lol

Used to play games with marbles too. Whoever got all of their marbles in the hole first would win the marbles of the opponent. Fun! haha

Not sure if this is the actual title, but I do remember the theme song, "Pinwheel, pinwheel spinning around..."

The first one was pretty terrible, but the second one was bad-ass. This one had our most made fun of line "I've already been rejected by death"
