You guys would know. I'm planning to be the 90's for Halloween. I already have a pair of Zubaz, Tamagotchi (unfortunately the new model) and a Yomega X-Brain yoyo with authentic Yomega replacement strings. I need a shirt and hat.

RIP Lorenzo Music.

And extra RIP Tony Jay.

From the early 90's until last year Lorenzo was the voice you heard for Ruggles Ice Cream radio commercials. Then they changed it and now I won't buy their ice cream any more. :colbert:

Motherfucking Battletech Centers. I never lived anywhere that had these, but I remember hearing about them from my cousins and 5 year old me thought they sounded like the absolute poo poo. Gonna be honest I still think these are loving awesome and kinda wish that they caught on. Closest version of these that I've seen are those Gundam Pods I played when I was in Japan, but good luck finding anything similar in the States.

And even though it has been brought up already, gently caress it, Toonami is always relevant when talking about the 90s.

I was probably 7-8ish when I saw that and it was the first time I wrote a letter because I really didn't want Moltar to go away and take my favorite shows. I like to think that it worked, seeing as Toonami lasted until 2008.

They also had the coolest bumpers

And the coolest ads

IIRC that one was used as an official ad for Gundam Wing at one point, no idea if that's true or not but I remember that ad is what convinced me to sneak downstairs and watch it on the Midnight Run.

Also Gundam Wing technically counts, it came out in 95 in Glorious Nippon.

There's a group that has portable versions of these and they travel the convention circuit. I think it's like $2 for 10 or so minutes in a free for all game. They own. It's especially fun when some guy is running his mouth about how he would win if advanced options were on and then he still comes in last.

That's why you left the crap cereal for a younger sibling

You have no idea how happy you just made me. Gonna have to go to one of these and rock it like it's 1995.

These are the guys I've seen around http://mechjock.com/ pretty cool bunch. I got some free games one night just because I was the only person awake at 2am in the convention center other than their night shift.

Not really diddl, but collecting various licensed papers and stickers was definitely a thing in 90's

my friend had those things:

and the toys were okay I guess, but what I really liked were those floppy disks with simple games made in shockwave. Of the two he had, one was about turning on the captured alien ship, and the second was uploading a virus or something. Those were really simple, but somehow also really athmospheric and mysterious because my grasp of English was non-existant, and of course I haven't seen the movie being a 6yo or such.
Mars Attacks had something very similar.

Mars Attacks had the floppies too and I believe there was a hot wheel/matchbox one with them as well. I only hope that ID4-2 has a 2015 equivalent of the floppy games.
