• Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.

1990-Early 2000 things you remember?

HIT CLIPS

Those things were the bomb when I was a kid lol
I still have mine too!
 
Dude, LEGOS!! They're still around of course! But as far as I'm concerned? Some of the best themed sets were from this era!!

Pogs were dope back in the day lol I remember having some alien pogs and ren and stimpy ones to. They came and went tho if I remember lol same with yoyos
 
I remember Parker Lewis Can't Lose which ran on Fox from 1990-1993.It was a damn funny show....well,at least for the first two seasons.
 
Admit it: Jaleel White-voiced sonic: CLASSIC!, Jim Cummings-voiced Robotnik: TERRIFYING! And Sally Acorn, IS A BADASS!!;)

Sally Acorn is the best female lead in the Sonic franchise imo. I like her worlds better than Amy. The extended cast from this one is great too!
 
I remember not having the internet at home, only having it at my grandparents (because they've always had all the newest stuff) and having to wait till 6PM to use the internet because "anybody important will have rang before 6PM", plus the tariff was cheaper after 6.

Everybody had a Tamagochi.

I was there for the height of the Pokemon craze. I've never seen anything like it since.

The vast amount of playground rumours about video games because it was a lot harder to fact check when internet was so rare. Even if you had the internet, most of the websites believed the rumours too (or started them). Again, back with Pokemon, the rumours about things such as Pikablu and the Pokegods are things I wish younger fans could experience since despite being untrue, it really added to the fun...This sort of thing is probably one of the things I miss the most since even if it wasn't true, it was so much fun and added so much play to games when I spent hours trying to find things that didn't exist.

And Runescape. I played so much Runescape.

All those TV shows (most of them forgotten to time). Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Big Bad Beatle Borgs, VR Troopers, Biker Mice From Mars, Street Sharks. Disney cartoons like Hercules, Lilo & Stitch, Recess, Lloyd in Space, Darkwing Duck, Ducktales, Goof Troop. Having an obsession with Dragonball Z because it was the only anime I had ever seen (really not fond of it these days)...Watching the trash on CBBC then watching Neighbours solely because Simpsons was on after it and I couldn't tell the time.

I had an 16GB external hard drive and felt like a boss because it had so much storage.

Microscooters were a thing, and they were awful. It seemed like every kid had a skateboard as well, not to mention Tony Hawk being like the coolest thing ever at the time.

Digimon cards were a thing. I never had them, but I did and still have a Gatomon card (because it's my favourite Digimon).

Best of all, I remember my mum getting angry all the time because I took the batteries out of the remote because the batteries in my Game Boy had died.
 
Pogs. Phone-internet connection, gdi when people was on the phone and you wanted to go online lol. Pok?mon cards when it was still the old cool ones and more of a craze. Getting a Gameboy Color for the first time, boii did I have some fun with it </3

Sweet Valley Twins/High etc. books.. man wish I never sold those I had cause they were kinda rare here.

All the nice candy was still around, from big boobs to chocolate smokes man.
 
Some of the best video games came out in the 90's! It's nice we have emulation and virtual console to replay these games today! Some favorites include: Sonic the Hedgehog 1, 2, CD, 3 & Knuckles, Streets of Rage 1, 2, and 3, Super Metroid, Super Castlevania 4, Vectorman 1 and 2(hard as balls though), Contra Hard Corps(the BEST in the series, imo), Super Mario World, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Ranger-X, Crash Bandicoot 1, 2: Cortex Strikes Back, and 3: Warped and so so MANY more I could probably name and have forgotten!!!!
 
The most iconic Canadian commercial from my childhood: the North American House Hippo.
