The Nintendo Power Glove. I remember the movie "The Wizard" which had Fred Savage in it and was about a kid who was like a savant when it came to video games. They played in some big tournament and he got to use the Power Glove AND play the new Super Mario Brothers!!!

[liotte]

Posted: 5/2/06 at 11:08am

Sadly, I can highlight that entire list except for the power rangers one. But I think most of that list applies to the late 80s and very early 90s, when I was a teenager.

[Holly Therese]

I'm such a 90's kid...

[KelRel]

Posted: 5/2/06 at 11:12am

I was an 80s/90s kid...Count me in for all of those.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 5/2/06 at 11:14am

My friend emailed me an extended version of this list recently; it's funny and so. true.

[Calvin]

Posted: 5/2/06 at 11:14am

It's quite a broad list. I was a mere pup when Intellivision was around, yet I was just starting college when the Macarena was a hit.

[peggyandvelma]

Posted: 5/2/06 at 11:30am

You knew all the characters names and their life stories on "Saved By The Bell"

So true. I love that show.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 5/2/06 at 11:34am

LOL. I don't think anyone who didn't speak Spanish really knew the Macarena by heart; they knew the mumbly version of what they THOUGHT were the lyrics to the Macarena by heart. You know, when you don't understand something and you just aimlessly make sh*t up.

Oh, I have a few more to add.

You played Cops and Robbers or Cowboys and Indians.

You owned a Furby

You watched Nick in the Afternoon

That list was incorrectly adapted from a list from another decade or changed in a weird wording way. Does 90s kid mean a kid born in the 90s.. or that you were from what age to what age?

Because several of those items were in the 80s or early 90s (and some even in the 70s)

[RobbO]

Posted: 5/2/06 at 11:50am

i think it just means the era you grew up in, or were still a "kid." even though i was born in the early 70s, i am a "child of the 80s."

yup, thats me right there

[hannahshule]

Posted: 5/2/06 at 3:09pm

All of the above, I'm ashamed to say...NOT!

Hand games were the BOMB! (Winston tastes good just like a *snap* cigarette...,miss Mary called the Doctor, the doctor's name was, *Fred?Tim?Tom?*...) Whoa, what other ones were there?!

Oh I ahven't thought about pogs in forever! I had such a cool gold slammer. Pogs are so much cooler than marbles.

I was anti-nanos though.

--- SO TRUE! I loved Power Rangers && Carmen San Diego. Remember Ghostwriter too. I loved Ghosterwriter.

If you remember what RALLY means from Ghostwriter- I'll laugh.

[BSoBW2]

Posted: 5/2/06 at 5:27pm

Yes, I AM a 90's kid.

I'd highlight more than I care to admit.

Whoa, bring on the nostalgia!

[Link Larkin Wanabe]

Posted: 5/2/06 at 5:27pm

Wow....every single one of those things applies to me.

I would add another one:

Whenever someone says: "Heros on a half shell..." you can't NOT scream "Turtle Power!"

Oregon Trail day was the ****

[pemberlee]

Posted: 5/2/06 at 5:31pm

My little sisters have Oregon Trail Version 4400 or something and it has nothing on the classic old school version with that tiny box with the wagon moving across it.

And hunting! I loved hunting, especially the buffalo.

[BSoBW2]

Posted: 5/2/06 at 5:31pm

How about playing Hebrew Carmen Sandiago in Hebrew School...

[Link Larkin Wanabe]

BS0...Wow...whats sad is I did that too.

[Musical_nerd]

Posted: 5/2/06 at 5:34pm

lol, I loved that. I was born in the 90's but I remember pretty much all of them, I think I still have some Pogs in my closet.

[pemberlee]

Posted: 5/2/06 at 5:37pm

I think what I miss most about the '90s might be TGIF. Boy Meets World, Family Matters, Step by Step, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, all classics in my 10 year old mind. Today's sitcoms can't touch 'em.

Oh, Erkel how I loved thee. And Harvey on Sabrina.
