Ahh yes memories. The ISA slot And who could forget the complexities of installing a sound card and getting it to work on your system in those days. Driver conflicts, crashes, memory conflicts, DMA channels, IRQ settings, etc etc...

Notice those extensions to the ISA slots? Those are VLB...for accelerated graphics!

i thought i was so cool with my iomega hipzip...40MB removeable mini zip disks...

That came out in 2000.

i went through it half this thread and undershoot everything except
mr wizard's world
mr belvedere
WTF is that shit? Never saw any of those.

90s was awesome. 80s, for what i know, was also great - i grew up watching my 80s cartoons along with 90s cartoons and and have much fonder memories than the crap we have today.

yup i said it - but cartoons like doug, hey arnold, adv of pete and pete, arthur, magic school bus, looney tunes, disney series, eat your shorts, etc. were infinitely more enjoyable and generally taught real lessons as opposed to the pure bullshit we see today.
today its just too sugar coated (think of gullah gullah island gone amok...although really barney was the one to really make it bad, and that is the 90s lol but even more sugar coated shows like allegra's window were still decent because they taught people to reflect about lessons) or just too slapstick (think non stop ren and stimpy + rocko's modern life in a variety of ways).
that isn't to say its all crapola. but it seems the general trend has been to do that over time.

One thing has to be said - movies of the 80s is clearly better than movies of the 90s.

How can you know all the other Nick stuff and not Mr. Wizard? Also, Mr. B was in syndication and was very prevalent.


The Land Before Time was '80s.

Back to back series wins. Everybody in Toronto was crazy about baseball those two summers. Needed something to take their minds of the Leafs.



My mom had one of these. 1991 Oldsmobile Delta 88, white like this one. Hers had a spoiler.


Complete with glass cockpit! Green digital gauges and dash computer.

Looks identical to my Cutlass Sierra S. Ironically, my Cutlass Supreme from the '80s with curves and digital instrumentation was more '90s than that blocky monstrosity.

Oh, and the Blue Jays couldn't hold a candle to the Brave's streak, even if they beat us.

Hey, give Toronto a break. It was their first championship win since 1967.

Speaking of cars, here's another blast from the past. The Lexus ES300 third generation from the mid to late 90s. My mom still has hers. It's the metallic beige two tone. I still see a lot of them around.



Not quite 90s but this was my first car. The 1989 Mazda 626. I had the five door LX model with a 2.2l engine. Mine was dark blue. The car was 14 years old when I got it. Not well cared for by the previous owner, my grandma. The sunroof leaked everytime it rained, air conditioner was dead, radio was stuck on one station, plus the distributor and brake lines went. Damn I miss that car.

I drove pretty similar models to these in the 90's. They were pretty decent cars, but GM couldn't leave things alone, and we all know what happened to Saturn...

Hey there, i'm new here but I'm laughing a lot at all this 90's nostalgia!!
It was Michael jordan's bday yesterday and it made me realize how irrelevant some GREAT things from the 90's are becoming to young kids.
It's a shame.
Oh well!

Keep posting to keep the 90's alive and check out
