Things I miss from the 80's. My oldschool Casio Databank Calculator watch (got a new one recently), and MEGAMAN 2 (fortunately Capcom made a collection). I also had the Rodimus Prime, but lost him when I moved to Trenton. Still have Soundwave.

Here is something I miss from the 80s. My Colecovision game system. It was so simple yet seemed so high-tech back then. Anybody else have one of these back in the 80s?

My family got one of them for x-mas 1982 and it was the king shit back then.

Considering that that technology was new it kept us in front of the t.v. for hours every weekend.

I can almost remember all the games we had.

G.I. Joe figures and the Atari 2600. Still have both.

[SpidersMoment]

I still have my Atari2600 too!!

[Msterbeau]

How could I list it if I forgot about it?

My mom tried to solder(sp?)the power cord to our Atari 2600 back together when our dog chewed threw it ... it proceeded to blow up when it was plugged back in.

I miss it ... but I still have THIS:

(That's Intellivision for those of you in the younger generations) hiding somewhere in my parents attic.

We had this too:

RCA's CED SelectaVision ... really big disc's encased in a plastic holder that you jammed it in and pulled it out and flipped a weird switchy thing, like in the link below. The things were the size of records. I remember watching the Muppets on it.

I had them systems too, but I miss nintendo the most. When super mario bros 3 first came out they had the Nintendo World Championship at Cobo.....Where I ranked 26 out of everyone....I wanna say that was in 89

My mom has my regular Nintendo and my SNES at work in her classroom, which she hasn't been there and won't be there for awhile. I need to get them back ...

Not too forgotten. One of my co-workers still has his and uses it.

[JaneDead]

that's pretty funny.

i remember going in the store to rent movies the whole store was vhs and one wall was beta.

then our mary poppins tape got stuck in it and never came out so we could only watch that.

then the house was robbed and they took our beta max. i hope they liked mary poppins too.

one thing maybe not forgotten but maybe not even known by some - was when you could go to the town club store and mix match bottles of pop. i remember doing that a few times for parties.

[Rayne]

My little brother still has our betamax player, and occasionally uses it.

[sass_in_the_pants]

Only the girls will remember this...

but there was this store called Units, and they sold these elastic knit things that you were SUPPOSED to be able to wear as a mini-skirt, or a tube top, or a belt They were so stupid. I think I had like four. And there was NO WAY that something that was big enough to cover my ass would be small enough to be worn as a belt. And I think they came in glow colors, too.

So, okay, does ANYONE remember this?

The thing I miss most from the 80's...my memory

Oh, you think I'm joking, but I'm so very serious. I think I can remember a couple of houses that I lived in and I'm pretty sure I moved to Colorodo and ran a pool hall for a while, and oh yeah! I did give birth a couple of times, but other than that it's all pretty much a blur.

I think I'm better now though...maybe.
