Used to stare at this box for hours in the store hoping it might arrive for Christmas.

My brother and I cut grass with a push (Briggs and stratton) mower and saved enough to buy a plastis control line plane with a .049 ? gas engine. I bet we flew it across the nation and back going round and round before the gas ate the plastic up and it fell apart. Hurt like the blazes if the prop hit your hand when flip starting the engine. Finally got to the point we could loop it.

Game Gear kinda sucked in my opinion


Games were pretty bad and it absolutely would destroy six double AA batteries in quick fashion. I brought like 3 sets for a single flight one time as a kid lol.

The color screen was nice, but the game boy was a far superior gaming experience at the time.

Growing up I wanted one of those electric scooters.


That’s what my 7 year old boy got this morning. Didn’t know it had to be charged for 12 hours before first use. He just rode it 10 minutes ago and froze his arse off.
