Growing up in the 80's

Oh god, don't remind me!

 

You recorded songs off the radio.
- Yup, now it's all mp3s baybee

You have ever po-goed or space-hopped.
- Bought a pogo stick last week. Yep, they still own

You ever moved the stickers on a rubiks cube.
- No, really, I didn't... I just managed to solve it, that's all

You could have got away with it if it hadn't been for those meddling kids.
- Scooby Doo still roxx0rs me boxx0rz

Fingermouse.
- Fingermouse we watched at school. Now Danger Mouse, that was a real top rodent :rocks:

You owned or knew somebody with a Commodore 64.
- Sinclair Spectrum actually, but my cousin had a c64. :rocks: :reallyreallyrocks:

You remember Mallet's Mallet.
- Timmy Mallet was at one of our student union nights in 'time' last year. He's my hero They did Mallet's Mallet live on stage http://www.brillianttv.co.uk/wacaday/gigpics-bangor.html

You wished you had a light saber (still do!).
- Who doesn't?

You can, right now, hum the theme to Inspector Gadget.
- du-de-le-duh-luh inspectah gah-jit du-le-duh-le-du-du-duh

You remember when Atari was a state of the art video game system.
- I wish i still had my 2600


Nice list yodasarmpit

(Ripped from another forum)

 

sob 'tis true! I too wanted a soda stream.. I remember my cousin rambling along on how great soda streamed milk was...

 

I had a soda stream

They cost loads to use regularly tho

 

-You owned or knew somebody with a Commodore 64.-
Still have a working one actually. Now if I could just find those 5K games on one 5 1/4" floppy???

-You remember when Atari was a state of the art video game system.-

ok so ive seen WAY too many john hughes movies ... so sue me, im old.

i saw most of these flicks in the theatres first run ... i was 8 in 80, 17 in 89 ... so im pemanantly warped by the 80's ...

 

Hey, that wasn't only in the UK! Even though I was born in 89' I still think that video is cool AND is still the pinnacle of modern technology. Anyone here have A-Ha new album? It's got some really cheesy stuff on it.

 

born in 80s and all the cartoons are far superiour to todays

tellytubbies / scooby doo

if the cartoons are good then its good enough for me nuff said

EDIT strange thing is i dont remember anything at all before 1990 this is really beginning to worry me what happened in 89 that a 6/7 year old might remember?

 

the guy from fingermouse looks like kain in robocop 2. he also looks like an al qaeda bloke.

as i recall aalmost nothing happened in 89 worth any mention. possibly one of the tv stations showed a film that wasnt more than 5 years old. REMEMBER THAT? almost all films shown on telly were ancient/shown religously every year, and i also remember BEING the remote control for the damn thing

 

Ok, you made me feel old now! i was born in 1981 and I rememember all those things!!! I had care bears and my little pomy!! And we had a soda stream!!1

 

pomy?

i had alomst all of the boys stuff when i was lil.

had the neon socks

watched all the cartoons

still live there

 

mmm sodastream...

/me has the following cartoons (download from numerous sources)
Ulysses 31
Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors
Danger Mouse
Duck Tales
Defenders of the Earth
Tale Spin
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Thundercats
Dennis the Menace (old version)
He Man
Gummi Bears
etc..

Ok not all 80s, but the old cartoons were the best,

 

I had a glow worm too!!
And all the cartoons

 

LIGHTNING STRIKES!!!!!!!!

 

Thundering across the stars to save the universe from the Monster Minds, Jayce searches for his father to unite the magic root and lead his Lightning League to victory over the changing form of Saw Boss... Wheeled Warriors explode into battle - Lightning Strikes!

 

Theres a power that comes from deep inside of you, ever day your reaching for the light, and you know its a long long road ahead of you, but if your wheels get you there, things will turn out riggggggght!!!!

sorry, had to

 

Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors rocked!!!

Can't believe you still know all the words to the intro

Does anyone remeber StarFleet? (aka X-bomber) That was the coolest TV show - manga stylee puppets (it was made in Japan), just too cool for words. Not quite sure if it was 80s but thats certainly when I was watching it.

I used to live for that show

Terrahawks was the British effort from Gerry Anderson (cheaper looking IMO, but still cool)
