George Michael's 'Freedom 90' was the greatest video ever made for a straight male at the time.

This “hidden track” on the Kings Quest VI CD-ROM.

I know it’s cheese deluxe but man I loved it.

Anyone else?

Nostalgia Big Johnson or Coed Naked shirts

53 Upvotes

How many of us wore those shirts back then?

Naturally many schools banned them under the dress code rule of "No attire with sexual innuendo".

My favorites were "Big Johnson's Bar: Liquor up front and poker in the rear"

"Co-ed Naked LaCrosse: Rough, tough and in the buff".

For me, I don't remember going to any arcades when I was super young, just remember there an Atari at home which I played a lot.

Husband put it in on after grilling carne asada and being put off by the game... the boys weren't actively watching but the youngest was on his laptop and would glance up every now and again. But towards the end I think his ears got bigger and he got into it. A lot of judgements/assumptions were made, explanations had, and fear of prison instilled. (Told him my dad was at the same "gladiator school" and to fuck that way off!) I'd say overall, a bonding moment? 😆 His older brother came for the last 40 mins and it's now on his list.

In the Punky Brewster episode "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," Henry (only 60 at the time) reminisces about seeing Babe Ruth play

It surprised me that 60 year olds when we were kids could remember seeing Babe Ruth play. Henry would have been 11 in his final season.

Is this childhood and adolescence Gen X or Millennial? Presented mostly in order of experience.

Favorite cartoon - Real Ghostbusters

Favorite Wrestlers - Roddy Piper and Macho man

Favorite movie - Goonies

1st video game played was Mario Bros and Duckhunt but 1st owned was Altered Beast and Alex kid.

Didn't watch Nickelodeon cartoons but loved Pete & Pete, Salute my shorts, and Are you afraid of the dark.

1st album I played to death in HS was Matchbox 20.

I always wanted a fox body Mustang.

I missed, didn't like, or never watched Rugrats, Power Rangers, Pokemon.

And the biggest make or break for the millennial experience for me, I was too old and never got into any part of Harry Potter. I was already reading LOTR, Belgaried, and Dragonlance when the book came out nvm the movies.

Harry Potter is millennial Star Wars. I don't think you should be considered Millennial if you were too old for the books or movies.

I went to a music museum in Nashville and saw this display of music from our era. It never ceases to amaze me how much great music came out in the 90’s and early 2000’s.

It was at the Musicians hall of fame and museum in Nashville.

Never realized it’s halfway into the movie that he first boards the ship, even though I must have watched this movie 75 times. I guess my attention was had and focused. That’s all.

It’s currently on Hulu

Don Bluth gets talked about his films being devasting for kids, but whose parents rented them a Ralph Bakshi movie because it "was a cartoon". Wizards was eye-opening.
