OP, get out of my head. I was just thinking about making a Nostalgia thread.

That aside. Rocko's Modern Life and a bunch of old Nick Toons are now on Netflix instant. My life is complete.

This is pretty much what made me interested in a lot of things that interest me today, like SCIENCE and EVOLUTION and GENETICS.

It's probably also the reason why I'm so fucking obsessed with breeding perfect Pokémon. Thanks, Creatures. Best games ever.

  Also, this.

  I loved this show so much growing up, I think if I ever had children, I would want to show it to them.

Courage the Cowardly Dog. I LOVED this show.

  One of the many many many shows I watched on a regular basis as a kid.
Man they don't make 'em like they used to.

  OH GOD AND THIS.

  In hindsight, yeah, the English dub was pretty awful, but I still have a big soft spot for this franchise, especially considering it was my first anime.

  Oh, and then there's this little gem of a series. Kind of sad that not many people I know seem to be aware of this show, much less share my nostalgia.

>>3613
I've heard nothing but great things about this show and yet, I've never seen it.
I'd be willing to pick it up since I've watched clips before that just make me laugh my ass off, seriously.

>>3612
Same here as well as Pokemon and anything Mario.

>>3612
Sailor Moon was my second anime. My first was Speed Racer.

  My mother was an animation nut, so I got to see all these weird cartoons growing up. I was still in training pants when I watched my first Anime which was Warriors of the Wind, the mid-80's English release of Nausicaa.
My parents still have the epic box art and tape somewhere at their house...

  One more thing - JAZZ FUCKING JACKRABBIT. My first video game ever, which came with my family's first PC in the mid-90's. I would have posted the boxart or some gameplay footage, but honestly, I think it's the soundtrack that's stuck with me the most (particularly this tune, the bonus level theme, and the Medivo theme).

GO ON FAGGOT OPEN IT, JUST FUCKING TRY IT

NO?

DAMN FUCKING RIGHT. YOU'RE A FOOL IF YOU DARE

  OP, you should have called this thread "Terrible Cheesy Shit That Made You The Perverted Monster You Are Today".

Because that's what I'm posting. CLANG CLANG CLANG.

>>3612
Sweet jesus, this.

Also from the old Toonami block, Ronin Warriors. I went back and watched the dub for a few episodes this past summer, and honestly, it's worse than Sailor Moon was. But it's just as nostalgic. Embedding also refuses to work for me.

  I CAN BE ANYTHING!

  >>3604
Reminds me of this.

>>3656
Toonami in general makes me sigh in nostalgia (and the occasional tear).
From Peter Cullen's promos, to the anime (it was what introduced me to Rorouni Kenshin and Dragonball), to the sweet music, to the hosts themselves.
Goodness how I miss TOM and SARAH and all their adventures on the Absolution. They weren't just distractions to tide you over till the next episode, they were actual characters, a show in itself.
The best thing about Toonami was how personal it was to the audience. TOM would review videogames, his motivational speeches were uplifting yet never condescending, there were the story arcs where the audience could actively participate in (with help from the internet).
The way it ended, even with the silly looking TOM and CLYDES, makes me very very sad to this day.
And now looking at what Cartoon Network is playing nowadays...

  >>3669
Boy do I miss Toonami. Everything about it.
Toonami is what made me into an anime fan, definately.
Oh guys, please tell me you watched Lamb Chop as a kid?
Lamb Chop was like my freaking hero when I was four or five.

>>3671
OMG LAMBCHOP! I still have one of her toys!
Loved her, such a pretentious little lady!
Loved her interactions with Shari, very mother daughter between them; her big brother Charlie Horse, and Hush Puppy was adorable.
It took me ages to find out that Shari was a ventriloquist, i totally thought they were voiced by the puppeteer/different people.
So sad when Shari died. :(
This is the song that never ends....

How about Big Comfy Couch? I don't know where my Molly doll went, but I know I still have my Snicklefritz doll.
I absolutely loved the Dust Bunnies.

  Does music count? Cause if so, I'm just gonna go ahead and put this here.

>>3671
Dude, I used to have the Lambchop hand puppet. That thing was boss, it used to sing me to bed every night.

Also nostalgia-ing hard the other day, found my old VHS stash and here's a list of what I've got:
Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Two episodes of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (the two-parter where Kimberly got high off the pollen and went nuts, and When There's Smoke, There's Fire)
An episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
The first two episodes of the older X-Men cartoon
The animated Transformers movie from 1985
Robotech tapes (thanks mom!)
Labyrinth (my second one, I overwatched the first... now I've got that and two dvd's of it, can you say favorite movie?)

First videogame I owned. It was what got me into gaming and cemented the Jump n Run as my favorite genre (even to this day). Oh man, nostalgia.
Sure, Jazz Jackrabbit wasn't the best platformer of all time, but it was just so much fun.

>>3610
I used to have such a crush on Wanda when I was little.

  >>3674
Oh gosh that takes me back.
Speaking of nostalgic music, anyone remember this gem?

  Sage because my attempt to embed in the last post was in vein.
Welp, here it is for real.

  >>3698
OH MY GOD. THIS.
I feel a bit bad because I mostly remember this song thanks to the cheesy parody that played on WB.

  Anything SMTV makes me nostalgia hard.

But this especially.

Yes, that's Jamie Oliver

>>3674

I just cried a little bit. That is one of the most powerful nostalgiabombs I've ever experienced.

  This song is a multi-level nostalgia bomb for me. It reminds me of watching X-Files with my parents (especially my mom and I crying like babies at this scene), which brings back lots of other memories. This song always induces a happy-cry when it's needed.

  I'll just leave this here.

Anyone ever have to do Flat Stanley in school when they were younger?

  >>3728

I see that and raise you this.

>>3736
Anyone who didn't have to had no childhood.

>>3754
My boyfriend didn't then. I asked him last night "So, who did you send YOUR Flat Stanley to?". He just looked at me for a moment and said "We didn't send ours...".

>>3754
>>3755
I...I didn't know what Flat Stanley was until college when my professor received on in the mail and she took a picture of him with the class.

Man my school didn't have Flat Stanley or Oregon Trail my childhood has been gypped :c

  This is my youth. I actually quite miss watching this show.

>>3758
I'd never heard of this project until this thread. Slightly-too-old-to-have-done-it West Coast bros.

  >>3736

I am ENGLISH so I am assuming that's why we didn't do it. English kids clearly have no childhood.

We did have this, however. Yes, I know I post this in every childhood thread, but everyone needs to fucking see it. Best kids' show ever.

  Go ahead, kids of the 90's. Deny that you have every note, every word of this theme song permanently memorized in your brains. You know you want to sing along to it.

>>3736
>>3774

Don't listen to the English, Scottish kids do this sometimes.

My brother still has his Flat Stanley stuck to the fridge.

>>3610
Bill Nye the Science Guy and Magic School Bus has made many a dreary science class actually seem FUN

As for reading, Wishbone was the one that introduced me to classic literature.

What is wrong with you people? No ThunderCats? Then I shall have to do something about it.

I'm excited about the revisiting of ThunderCats.
Heard there'll be new figures and a new cartoon THIS YEAR.
And a movie next year? Heck yeah.
I so hope it's not fake, otherwise I'll be disappointed again like last time when the movie was pushed forward.

>>3820

>I so hope it's not fake, otherwise I'll be disappointed again

I'd be more disappointed if it was real and turned out to be a crock of shit like the Transformers movies.

Gundam Wing was the first anime I was seriously into. Sure it might not be as good as some of the other gendums, but I still enjoyed it for what it was and I think some of the shit it's gotten is more due UC circlejerking than actual problems with the show.

>>3823
Child, you know how awesome G Gundam was?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLaydxMhlw0

Now, admittedly, it isn't the same as other Gundam anything, due to actually involving entertaining fights and not endless babbling in space, BUT HE JUST KICKED AN ENTIRE BUILDING OUT OF THE GROUND

Thanks for reminding me it existed, though.

OH FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

>>3844
The rampant Japan jingoism kept me from enjoying it as much as I could, but shit was so cash.

>>3846
OH GREAT YOU MADE ME SAD

>>3847
Oh God, I watched the VHS tape I had of this until it broke.

NOW, this board game consumed my young life.

>>3849
Oh my God. I had that game.
And my friend had the Pokemon edition of Monopoly.

God Pokemon is so fabulous.

  >>3849
>>3851

LOL played both of these games with my friend who really likes Pokemon. Like REALLY likes it. Like, "she literally cried when I took Quilava on the first game, and did the same thing when I wouldn't give her Rapidash last night on Pokemon Monopoly" likes it.

Anywho, something else for nostalgia! GUMBY!

I went back and tried to watch it. Scared the shit out of me. Didn't used to, though. :"(

  This whole series is the reason I grew up being such a massive nerd. I used to watch the shit out of all the VHS tapes I had of it.

Schoolhouse Rock, with almost every single song being an earworm that would last for the entire day.

>>3860
I had ALL of the books. Man that takes me back...

On another note: Arthur. That intro song makes me so happy every time I hear it.

I know someone said Toonami earlier, but I found this and remembered why I loved it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfadJj4d5K4

>>3861
3,6,9.....
12,15,18....
21, 24, 27..... 30!
A MAN AND A WOMAN HAD A LITTLE BAB-AH! YES THEY DID! THERE WERE 3!!!! IN THE FAMILY!!!!

These books. They were some of the first I learned to read.

  I am shocked that no one mentioned Bill Nye yet! For shame, people.

  >>3632
THISTHISTHISTHIS

Doom was my first FPS, but Hexen was the one that I played over and over and over again. The soundtrack and the visual style is really what stuck with me. I'm totally going to cosplay the Heresiarch at some point, holy fuck he is so badass.

Also One Must Fall 2097, Battle Beast, and Hocus Pocus. I was strictly a PC gamer until I got Pokemon in 4th grade.

One of the first games I remember playing properly.

Armadon was my favourite. ._.

There was also this. My favourite in this game was the Sentry.

I was shit with him because he was one of those characters that the computer could rape you with but would magically become complete shit the second the player picked him up. Unfortunately for me, I would not be deterred by this as I was retarded back then.

I later learned to fucking love this crappy game.

The devs had fun making this game. You can tell because it's full of hilarious bullshit. Much of it you have to unlock - one of the secret characters is a chicken.

That's right. An actual chicken. Not a person in a chicken suit or a giant chicken. Just a normal chicken. And it has its own ending after you beat the final boss with it.

>>3634
ITS BONKIN' TOIIIME! I LOVES A BITTA BONKIN'!!

  man...all these old FPS games really bring me back. This was the first game I ever beat on my own and without cheating.

  I loved this as a kid

  This movie. THIS MOVIE. Also this song from this movie.
I like to imagine Sniper singing this.

  >>4052
Fuck that was scary. Catchy song though.

Now for some sadness! Used to watch this movie every time I went to my grandma's house. I think this is why I was so clingy to my stuffed animals as a kid (who am I kidding, still am).

  Why has nobody mentioned Swat Kats yet

>>4056
I forgot that this whole movie turns me into a quivering ball of feelings and mush. Thanks, Anon.

I just installed this again.

I am so faggot. ._.

>>4068

And this is the first thing I did with the game files.

>>4068
I NEED TO REINSTALL THIS

>>4068
I loved these games so much! Wish I knew where the hell my discs were!
Actually, are the newer ones any good? And whatever happened to Oddballz?

>>4068
Started playing this again as well. So many adorable doggies!

>>4074
The newer ones were pretty much shit.

>>4074

Unfortunately Ubisoft is doing that thing wherein they make a new game with the same name (Petz series, Dogz, Catz) and pretend the previous game never existed (website gone, all online support gone) while at the same time adding new, horrible games to the new series (Horsez, Hamsterz, Dolphinz, etc.), which are nowhere near as good as the old ones.

The new games are shovelware, essentially. I like how companies that used to make games with character and some degree of effort have jumped on the FUCK THE CONSUMER cashcow bandwagon.

  I'm sorry, Nickelodeon, but your new show will never beat the original.

>>4113
Man, I love classic Power Rangers, but I think that Samurai Sentai is pretty rad.
The original Japanese theme song is one of the catchiest things I've ever heard. Seriously.
I put it up in the music thread some time ago, and I even shamelessly have it on my iPod. NO REGRETS.

Oh god though, speaking of Power Rangers, you know what other older one was good too?
Power Rangers Time Force. Hell yeah.

  Dem Beatleborgs.

For anyone who enjoyed this: >>4068

Go here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TGOR03IF

And go there quickly, because I probably shouldn't have uploaded it.

Sorry to post a YTP, but I watched this and the part where he GETS DOWN stirred some kind of vague memory for me. I saw this when I was a kid, even though I have no recollection of it other than this one really short clip and have no idea what it's called.

I can logically deduce that it's a cartoon about WWF (back when it was called that) but fuck knows about anything else. Hulk Hogan used to be my favourite. Back before he wasn't really, really too old to still be doing it. ._.
