JoeRudi26 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 ..To The Day. With all the different age groups here, I thought it would be interesting to see what people were into when they were younger. It could be anything from movies, to games, to foods, to sports. Whatever. Completely off the top of my head, here are a few of mine. It could be from your childhood, or anytime in your past. Post as many as you want, and as often as you want. I know after thinking of just these few, it led to many more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tebjr Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I put many hours in playing both of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee4Life Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Another great thread idea Jay. I'm curious to learn what others contribute in here. The AAA Red Wings. Baltimore's top minor league franchise when I was a kid. I spent many years here at old Silver Stadium watching the best of the International League. From Dave Parker to Fred Lynn to Ron Guidry I saw a lot of them. Roger Moore and 007 movies. I was too young to see the Connery classics. Tony Larussa Baseball II. My first PC baseball love. My cookie of choice to this day. My Catholic school uniform. A yellow shirt and.... dark green dress pants with tie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanofwho Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 And when tony LaRussa II came out I didn't think graphics could get much better. I was playing Hardball 3 at the time and saw an ad for TLII with a picture of Fenway Park. I thought that was as good as it could get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually did a "mod" for that game when I made the original 16 teams of baseball and I put the greatest players from each team on the roster I created lineups and added portraits for each team and it was so much fun.

JoeRudi26 Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 Anyone remember the Quaker Oats cereal that came in the cardboard cylinders? Before I picked up the guitar, I saved about 10 of these containers. My very first drum set: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came in handy for so many things. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I remember I used to have a thing called "My First Computer", it was green and white, had a one-line LCD display, and was for learning maths and spelling, things like that. I think my mother gave it to a friend's kid a while back, but man, would I love to have that today. It'd be great to look at for old-time's sake, and now that I'm a fully-fledged geek, it would be interesting to rip it apart to figure out what kind of hardware was inside it. I'll be damned if I can find a decent picture of it, though. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeRudi26 Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 I loved the NBA Live series.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeRudi26 Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 I searched Hell and high water for this game, and never did find it. I'm not even sure when it was out, but it seems I moved along to Hardball III for the Genesis and just finally gave up looking for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Wow, that actually looks like Ebbets Field. For a game that old, that's quite an accomplishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro23 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Wow Jay, I remember that game as well. Like you, I don't seem to recall being able to find it. I had all of the Harball games though. Man, good times right there. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennisjames71 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Yes, I was a kid in Southern California during the 1980s. JoeRudi, I totally agree with your choice of Final Fantasy III; that game and Secret of Mana started my RPG addiction. Thanks for starting this cool thread.

A few more that really bring back some good memories. These games are still good to this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee4Life Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 John Madden Football 1993 for the Sega Genesis. This game had some of the great NFL teams of the past in this version and one of the teams were the 1976 Oakland Raiders. I used Mark VanEeghen #30 over and over and I hardly lost a game. I ran him outside to the left and right and he was unstoppable. Good times. In the 1994 version of Madden they changed the graphics and the game began to go downhill. But I'll always have this one.
