The Nintendo 64 was released in 1996 and has been a video game favorite ever since. You’d be hard-pressed to find a ‘90s kid that doesn’t love – or at least appreciate – the 64 and its major leap into video games. With this came the game Super Mario 64, which is still as beloved today as it was about 20 years ago.

“Goosebumps” books were always a hit. Lower level reading kids ate these up like cake. Back before everything went electronic, reading, drawing and going outside were some of the biggest time-spending things. Go books.

So maybe it’s wrong in saying we miss the toy, “Furby”, as it’s still on shelves (for twice the cost it used to be), but it’s just not the same. “Furby” alien doll things were so cool with their moving mouths and eyes and how it spoke to you in “Furbish”. Things were much simpler back then, my God.

Movie rental stores would also be a bit of a cheat to say we miss them. They’re still around, but they’ve lost their novelty to an extent. In a day with Redbox, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Roku, whatever, going to a physical rental store (and paying their prices) seems like a pain. Let’s throw it back to when a trip to rent a movie at Movie Gallery was the highlight of the weekend.

Some may say the best cartoons lie in the ‘90s, and there’s no denying potential truth in that modern cartoons are a bit stupid. “All That”, “The Amanda Show”, “Catdog”, “Rocket Power”, “Dexter’s Laboratory”, “The Rugrats”. If there was a tv show dedicated to that, I would be all over it.
