Children of the 90s. (And 80s!!!)

[madmax]

90s clothing trend? I kinda miss wallet chains and the nicer looking grunge stuff

I did that in the 2000s

Movie - Dick Tracy

Classic.

Cartoon - Seriously, too many. Doug, Rugrats, Animaniacs, Freakazoid, Darkwing Duck, Spiderman... the list is almost endless

Everyone loved The Tick back then, too.  Rocko's Modern Life, all the Batman cartoons, Gargoyles, X-Men... so much good stuff.

Game - Toejam and Earl: Panic on Funkotron

I was so obsessed with that game.  But since I was only 10 or so when I played it, I only kind of understood how to play it.  A difficult game for me at the time, but one of the few I could play cooperatively with my brother.  Looking back at it now, its quirkiness reminds me of games like Earthbound.

Ha, I think it's ok.  After all, it was practical!

I still rock a wallet chain... well not currently, it ripped loose from my wallet. XD

I still wear a lot of plaid, too, these days... But not flannel - too warm for California weather

@madmax: YES! bring a friend for 2 player lolz.  Such a funny game.  Make sure you play the original with the top down view.

So... born in 82.

I was going to say Alf as well, but I caught part of an episode a few months ago and boy it's not as good as I thought it was when I was little.  Maybe I just liked puppets?

@varkias Wow...Secret of Nihm is probably the greatest animated movie of all time. I can't believe I forgot it when I was making my list! The first time I watched it, it was like I was in a trance. A bomb could have gone off outside and I would have had zero idea. I can still watch it to this day and enjoy every minute of it.

@desocietas Oh come on, what's not to love about a puppet alien who's primary objective in life is to eat cats? If I sat down and tried to watch it now I'd probably get bored pretty quickly but it was just so freaking awesome to me back then it had to be on my list!

I checked out some Rocko's Modern Life last night for the first time since the 90s and I actually laughed quite a bit. If they brought it back now it would probably have to go on Adult Swim. There is some pretty crazy shit in the cartoons that came out around that time. The episode I watched was all about Mrs. Bighead trying to get Rocko to have sex with her while Mr. Bighead was at work. If they showed that on Nickelodeon in 2011 it would start riots!

So worth it.  It's definitely in the realm of games like Earthbound and Katamari Damacy for me.  Doesn't work to explain the game - you just gotta play it.  Like nothing else.  And definitely need to do co-op and watch your friend fall off several levels of Earth and try to catch up to you while you walk around opening presents (really!).

I *loved* The Pretender... I'm glad someone else was watching it then.  Kind of a precursor for Alias and such.
