What Memories Do You Have?

[Ulysses]

It seems that a few of us on this forum have been getting excited by how old technology is still working for us today, where as new technology seems to be letting us down left, right, and centre.

So ... I thought it'd be nice to share our memories on things that made us so excited, that we would have sold our parent's precious record collection for (thankfully not though, as I am now the proud owner, hehe).

For me ... the thing that really impressed me (and I still use in fact) is my Technics 1200 turntables. Yes, they still work today, like they did back then, just a bit more bruised as my techniques grew with me. The amazing things is, not only do they still look as good as anything today, but they have lasted for over 12 years. As for computer hard disk drives ... if only.

I miss loading frogger onto my commadore 64 through an audio cassette, i also miss ZORK, atari, coleco vision, ET, checkerboard vans (when they first came out), BMX, Ocean Pacific, A hairstyle that included a tail?, neon, John hughes, dope (the adjective), Mtv (when it stood for Music TV), You can't do that on television, freezy frekies, hypercolor, new wave, Goonies,....Ok, most of that might not be technology but I can't help it I have ADD

eh?

[D-Frag]

And the funny part about that Ulysses, is that those same Tech's that your parents probably bought for like $30, will sell for $250-$300 nowadays. I own (2) Tech 1200 MK2's, and I love them (I also spin underground trance and house) but yes, they are wonderful turntables and will last you for many more years to come.

As for me, I miss striped socks, big hair, bon bon's, and being a kid.

I remember when we thought CD-ROMs were out of the space age. I was probably 10 at the time.

We had one of the old Nintendo systems. I thought Mario 3 was 'da bomb. You could fly in that one.

Buying a CD player and going, 'Aw, damn, now I gotta buy more CD's'

You can still play Zork. They released the whole series for Mac. Gold Edition or something like that.
I liked Leather Goddesses of Phobos best though.
Wizardry was fun too. You can still play Wizardry if you get an emulator. Anyone remember 'the darkness'? llld,llld,ddddddd

Some of these memories I too have shared ... and some I haven't. Seems to mainly be boys and there toys so far ... no tails of that first hair-curling tong ladies?

[Debz]

Getting Ninetendo Power in the mail and reading up on stratigies on how to beat Mario Bros.

Riding around on my Skooter with the BIG WHEELS. it was Green with White tires.

Miss my battery operated red corvette.. total pimp. fit 2 of us uncomfortably..

I miss waiting for the ice cream man and begging for the extra 25 cents to get a wrestle mania bar!

Softball & Cheerleading!

goin thru my baseball cards with my best friend fighting over which one of us was going to be the first girl baseball player.

I miss going to my friends house and BEGGING her to go on prodigy because i thought it was SO COOL that you could talk to people allover the world on a computer! :o

I fondly remember the days when television didn't insist on putting stupid graphics and watermarks all over the screen. Whenever I pop in an old tape and see an untouched program, I feel so nostalgic.

I loved television in the late 80s and through much of the 90s. I can hardly stand it today.

Well, there is one exception...Tivo is extremely nice and I mostly 'skim' shows. I'm not sure if it will ever happen (doubtful), but advertisers have been raising stink about Tivo and want the ability to fast forward through commercials disabled. (I doubt that would ever happen, there would be so many ways around that)

I miss working at the pizza parlor as a teenager with no money worries... that was a blast.

I miss when I didn't have to wear glasses or contacts every day

I miss when I was really skinny... lol, don't we all!

and sometimes, I miss casual sex... lol

Memoirs of the Driven Insane (http://morealyera.blogspot.com/)

[Patrick Shannon]

Speaking of record players, when I was five, I used to have a record player (so I could play those children's audio books that came in Hardee's kids meals, anyone remember those? Remember the Gremlin's books/records?). Now that record player had Michael Jackson on the lip/cover. As I look back on that now, I realize just how wrong that looks ;)

Although I wish I still had that record player, I bet it would be worth some bucks.

[Tyger]

wow these are some good memories, lets see,

watching things like Little Rascals, Three's company, Different Strokes, Jokers Wild,
Cartoons like, Force Five and Grandizer, Thunder cats and the 80's Transformers. Atari, Coleco....
Being able to buy a bag of chips, a chocolate bar, and a popfor a little over 1$

those were the days....

http://www.geocities.com/angelvex/tygsig.jpg

[Ulysses]

I agree _Tyger_ ... quite some memories that we've all shared. Just why is it though, that recent generations have become obsessed with the past? I remember being a University student, and it seemed to be the best way to break the ice, get to know everyone, and determine who has similar interests as one's self.

The most important concern, is why do so many children get bored these days? we used to never have enough time in the day to do things back when I was a child. Is the nanny society to blame? Do children need to be allowed to climb trees again? and have more playing fields? Do we as creative individuals that remember and value these memories we have, have any hope of making a difference? like Scooby Doo and Space Hoppers had on all of us?

[Debz]

i think technology makes us lazier :/ or TV..

plz.. no more sales.. :( plz!!!

krylliah.blogspot.com (http://krylliah.blogspot.com)

[Ulysses]

The problem seems not to be technology, Debz ... it has always been with us. No, the problem is our growing inability to use it properly. Well ... that is what I think [sitting quite bored, having realised it is too late in the evening to be pondering these ideas].

[morea]

I remember when I was a kid that I used to spend every minute I could outside, climbing trees, playing kickball / soccer / hide and seek/knock down the neighbors or trying to befriend strange cats and dogs that wandered into the yard. Even in the winter I would be out until I had no feeling left in my fingers or toes and my mother would have to practically DRAG me into the house.

During those times I was often alone and would make up stories about things that were happening or what those things meant. I also read a lot.

I really attribute a lot of my creativity as an adult to the time I spent using my imagination when I was little.

if you can't say something nice, shut the hell up.

Memoirs of the Driven Insane (http://morealyera.blogspot.com/)

[Ulysses]

Hide and Seek ... and Bulldogs ... yes, these are really good games, Morea. But it is suprising (perhaps alarming) that teenagers today have never even played such games.


And ... this is something to remember:

http://www.partydomain.co.uk/d-commerce/media/BAC265L.gif

[morea]

I think that a lot of the problem is that kids aren't ALLOWED to be kids any more.

if you can't say something nice, shut the hell up.

Memoirs of the Driven Insane (http://morealyera.blogspot.com/)

[Ulysses]

If they're not allowed to be kids Morea (and they aren't acting like adults) ... then, what are we making? monsters?

[morea]

I am personally not making anything, as I have made a very conscious decision not to reproduce.

[Ulysses]

Here's a question nobody seems to remember ... who/ when was the last time you called somebody and asked 'is --- coming out to play?'

And, wha twas the last tree you climbed?

Why did we suddenly stop doing these things? I certainly remember the last time I had sex, but not these questions ...

[morea]

last time I climbed a tree was when I went camping in august. /emoticons/cool.gif

Grrr ... lucky you, Morea [jealous, as climbing a tree i nthe street would have me some funny looks].

[Patrick Shannon]

Actually Ulysses, I asked that question last week to a friend's wife. ^_~ Sheesh, marriage is so pointless if it's gotta be like that. Although to my friend's credit, she's been getting a bit out of line so he's been standing up for himself. Like this past weekend, he went drinking with the guys! Yay!

Or how bout, 'wanna sleep over?...ok hold on, my mom wants to talk to your mom'

Ordinary Life is Pretty Complex Stuff

[Tyger]

yeah i know what you mean, 'playing' in it's innocence. Now i do still 'play' things like hockey, b-ball etc. but it's more adult games. There are a few things we've replaced them with in sports, paintball, things like that. Most people don't realize the act of 'playing' is good for the soul so to speak. It enables us to still imagine and create our realities. That's why I love playing with my nieces and nephews...it's a good excuse to play with them and their toys. Not that i need an excuse.

I miss lots of cartoons. Wow, I used to love them. Thunder Cats, Mysterious Cities of Gold (how did that condor ever fly I wonder now?), Care Bears (ok, so I was a bit of a girl when I was a child), Dungeons and Dragons and the Gummi Bears (how cool was that juice?!!) I also miss Airwolf, The A Team and Knight Rider when none of them seemed horribly cheesy, just good entertaining. I also miss Saturday afternoons watching the British Wrestling - ahhhh!

I miss sleepovers too, trying to build igloos every winter, even though we don't get enough snow or could ever figure out how to make it not fall over.

I miss Manic Miner on my brother's ZX Spectrum and Chucky Egg and Donkey Kong. I miss being thrilled by having 1Mb RAM on my computer!

I miss being able to go outside and find something to do without even thinking about it. I think a number of mud pie throwing competitions started that way. And I miss my Mum throwing me out and telling me not to come back til I was hungry on the weekend.

Ah blissful days of ignorance and over active imaginations

I remember loading in tapes to load programs my brother wrote for TRS-80 and Playing 'Downland'® and 'Poltergeis't®. Or how about Mickey Mouse Disco on 8-Track? Does Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse between Abbott and Costello and 3 Stooges sound familiar? How about playing Joust and killing the Pterodactyl over and over again? How about killing yourself in Zoo Keeper before the first prize would come out to get a free guy? Sunday Morning Kung Fu.. I'll be back to add more...

Mysterious Cities of Gold (how did that condor ever fly I wonder now?)

I have the entire collection ... the condor, actually flies with the power of the sun (turned on by a key, which happens to be a medallion, that happens to be a key to the gates of The Mysterious Cities Of Gold, and happens to be the key to the temple of the Golden Ship ... and ... man many other things).

[Wonder Woman]

Thank you Ulysses! I think I was more worried about the exact weight of a golden condor, thinking it was too heavy to possibly take off? But my aero-physics isn't up to much these days, since i quit my job at NASA! lol

I was just thinking last night about the ZX Spectrum. Does everyone remember the noises it made when you were loading a tape? And the epileptic fit enducing flashing blocks of colour?

I certainly remember the frustration of waiting for the tape to load ... load ... load ... load ... load ... then, fail. Arghhhh. Not happy that today's computer's follow the same idealogy.

[Kink]

I miss living room forts... they were the best... my friends and I would make them when we had sleepovers and we'd stay in them ALL night.

I also miss being able to put rubber boots on and some work gloves of my grandfathers and playing in their ditches when they were full, looking for frogs, snakes and whatever else popped up... hehe

Skating on the little 'flooded' forest behind my grandparents house... you couldn't glide on your skates once without hitting a tree, but it was completely fun, and halarious.

Living room forts (castles, to us boys) ... now that IS a long forgotten memory. Many thanks for rekindling those, Kink.

And unfare how you couldn't get hurt too seriously as a child, where as now ... as adults ... a quick bump to the knee, and you could end up with a leg cast or a wheelchair, lol

[Tyger]

you know what came to mind, remember when you would get someone to flinch and you'd say..... rock! or the other saying sike (or psyche, or syke i don't know how it's properly spelled). The 'Rock' one reminds me of my breakdancing days. I was 9 when i started breaking. That was so cool and fun then because that's how we settled disputes back then between groups or crews as we said back then. I remember if someone had a problem with another guy or group we'd whip out the ghetto blaster and some cardboard and the 'Breakin' would settle it. ha...ha...he....my street name was Vicious Vex and i was part of a group called New Generation, then was later changed to Hip Hop Rockers.

I think i'm going to dig up Beat Street. Man i'm getting excited just thinking of that battle between the New York City Breakers and Rock Steady hearing the theme song Breakers Revenge..

CLASSIC!!!!

Yes yes yes ... the hip hop days [real hip hop] ... I myself was a b-boy, but breakin' really wsn't my strong point. Tunrtables though, baby ... turntablez is wot I iz all 'bout. As for breakers revenge ... Arthur hasn't done anything better ... it can't be touched. I've been looking all over for years to get a copy of that original EP ... hmmm ... listening to it now actually on my media player.

i've got the original cassette...it's kinda in bad shape but it still works. I've got a few versions on mp3. I agree about the breakers anthem not being able to be touched. That was way ahead of it's time. I think that set up the music industry in terms of mixing. Also remember Rock-it, by good ol' Herbie Hancock.ooo oooooo or planet rock and Buffalo Gals, hey -d.j....man it's all coming back to me. Eddie grant Electric Avenue.....sheesh.

I don't think I miss ska music as much as I miss the time in my life it represents. Yes ska music can still be bought, but most of the other stuff mentioned can be too. Thats why e-bay is so popular....it gives people a chance to re-purchase our childhoods. Will playing with Optumus Prime on your living room carpet be as fun as you had when your were 5......probably not......but it can rekindle fond memories of times past. A time when nothing mattered and you were not weighed down by the problems & pressures of daily life.

I also lived in Doc Martins when I was 13-15ish. You could never get me out of them. I went to a friend's wedding with them on and she wasn't impressed!

LOL! yeah when i was like 14ish i had these black boots with diff color sparkley shoe laces.

pigtails... I miss pigtails

How about those ads in Comic Books, where you could get trick gum, X-ray Glasses and other useles junk? that includes the Sea Monkey, The fake Battleship game with the plastic playfield (my mom is still finding the pieces). Crossbows and Catapults, Video game ads with screenshots of all the systems, Collecovision, Intellivision, Atari...

unlimited 1-ups at the end of World 3-1 in Super Mario Bros.

Crossbows AND Catapults ... oh my ... that was a great game. Really annoyed the parents, as it'd take up the whole house literally whe nplaying it, teehee.
