Haha, I've done some of it. Too young for some of the stuff, though.

Skip-its ruled.

[PZelda]

Half of those things could be classified in the 80's category. And I've done about 95% of those, plus about half for the 80's. I was almost 5 when 1990 rolled around and 14 when 1999 ended.


And I should explain something...Ducktales ended in 1990, it's more of a 80's thing because Ducktales started in 1987. One of my first memories is watching Ducktales.

those apply to me, i had no idea they were fads, let alone what a 'fad' was. and i thought alot of those just applied to youngsters but i was 0-10 in the 90's so yeah.

[Kay Scarpetta]

MASH. Wow... that game. The number of times I got in trouble in class for not paying attention because I was too busy seeing what color my wedding dress was going to be...

Oregon Trail is still my favorite game!

[Cashodeen]

Some of those were 80s things, not 90s.

But I can relate to almost all of them. Totally awesome list.
