Anyone remember "The Letter People"? It was this whole kit of books and activities to help you learn letters and letter sounds.

The tolls were so cheap that there were change baskets to toss your coins in

My parents' VCR had a wired remote control

We used to play games and draw with chalk on our regular old suburban street without any parents watching us.

You could buy an unscrambled cable box out of someone's trunk in the grocery store parking lot

We got Prodigy with our dial up modem, chat rooms (inviting and not inviting certain people), hacking programs, instant messaging became IMing

Crystal Clear Pepsi!

Gimp bracelts/keychains

French rolling the bottom of my jeans

Wearing two or more different colored socks on the same foot

Hypercolor shirts

up down up down left right light right A B A B select start

warp zones in Super Mario Bros

blowing on the Nintendo cartridges

Nintendo power pad for the olympics game and the gun for duck hunt



LOOOOOOVE this list!!! I remember all of this!!! OMG!!..........I use to play HOURS of Contra with my bro. Great game!!!

How about...............................

I remember when my grandmother's telephone no. started with letters. VI 9-3921

I remember adjusting the antennae on the TV to get a clear picture.
I remember when HBO was "home box."
I remember those little numbered electronic keypads that made music if you followed the number pattern.

I think I'm older than most folks on here, so this might sound like one of those "I walked uphill, both ways" stories, but here goes...

I remember thinking Pong was a fabulous electronic game!

I remember when there was no Internet (for the general public anyway)

I remember when we did not have cable TV in our area too, we got 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, & 13. That was it.

We had a push button phone, and a lot of my friends thought that was so cool.

I remember typing papers on a typewriter, no computer in college.

I had LPs, then switched to cassettes, then CDs, now an Ipod.

I remember playing with a GAF viewer, or that's what I think it was called. You put discs inside this viewing device and followed stories that way.

Does anyone remember SRAs from school? Those were these color coded reading activity kits?

I loved those! But when I moved to LI from Queens, they didn't use them. I was so disappointed! I was a nerd Chat Icon
