yup, heaviest object strapped to the top shelf of a tall, wobbly cart (though this tv is a bit smaller and the cart looks better designed for just this use) often surprised more of those carts didn't tip over immediately - was the only one in the room NOT surprised when they did!

I can just hear the start up sound!

I actually still have some around my house... dunno when they were made tho

I still want one

Traumatic story follows: loved it as a little kid, i remember having it everywhere even at trips, i was playing all the time worrying for real for my little pet until i dropped it in the toilet... rip my cute friend.....

Nearly everyone in my school had one about 2009-2010.

I got a Gen 1 last Christmas, idk if its the same but I still like it IMG_202104...71a291.jpg

I had one. It died.

What is this??

lol

I still have one.

Awww...

Even as an 8 year old I could recognize the absolutely absurd prices on the impulse buy snacks where you wait in line. Oh would you like a bag of dollar popcorn? That'll be $8.

I used to always buy these for my son when he was young. I read every single one I bought him, after he finished reading them. Same thing with all of the Harry Potter books. Good memories!

I loved doing the controller cheat to get to the levels board and then start my play on star light field. It was were my favorite level.

Lol! That's funny-

POGS!

This was the way to go during recess tho

I still play on those

Streamers ... Banana seats ... Card in the spokes.

yes

"You have died of dysentery"

Did I read well..dodge darts? 😅

I know folks who where there. Soon afterwards they were it was no food, the mud ,the porta potties, you could barely hear the music it was a mess. Twenty years later it was a wonderful time, it was the best, such great music

These will survive Judgement Day.

Ahhhh yes! I still have a few.

Is that......DUKE KABOOM FROM TOY STORY 4!

Time machine, I meant to say.

Going into battle, let me just get my sword and speedo.

Omg! yes telephone booths, much needed when the beepers, pagers, came out for the regular folks. Oh goodness 25 cents a call. Thanks for the memories! Makes my heart happy.

I can hear the eerie opening music now...

We have a few from when my mom got them as a kid

ahhh, yes ... the good old days, when having your computer make a sound for everything you did was a novel idea

Happy happy joy joy

yay!

Believe it or not, I'm walking on air

Hard gum!

In college, I worked in the business AV department. We supplied translucent LCD plates you could hook up to your computer, because the technology to hook it up to an analog video projector wasn't there yet.

'Sayyyy-Garrrr!' is more semantically correct.

I had that exact one! ( the Appaloosa) it was one of my faves, but I sadly broke one of its hind legs. It wore duct tape leg wraps from then on. At one point in the late 70's I had about 40 Breyers, but sold them off for entry money into my first A rated horse show. A regrettable choice for sure ( I still have the bay Shetland, i call her Penny)

With all the guards, including on for the trucks.

Yep. Purble. F*ckin' Place. This is where legends are made.

I actually have a few of the ones in the picture still XD I also have some not pictured.

My body mostly became entangled with it.

I played Chinese jump rope all the time in grade school in the '70s! So fun!

I was part of the Love's Baby Soft generation... or my older sister was, that is ( she was furious when she caught me using her treasured bottle)

Yaaaaaawwwwwnnn!

This was my absolute favorite toy! I got it christmas morning, 1977.

I am so bad at Qbert, its still fun though

I honestly liked talking on the phone more in those days, the receivers were designed to fit against your ear and mouth.

You would be friends with my older sister

Okay - I DO remember what these smell like...

There were 2 typing classrooms at my high school, one class was electric typewriters and the other was manual - guess the school couldn't afford enough electric typewriters. I got put in the manual typewriter class. Took strength just to make the keys hit the paper
