Games Of The '90s

Feb 02, 2015

It is no secret that the gadgets kids play with today are much more high-tech and intricate than the toys we used growing up. Yet, us '90s kids loved our games, nonetheless, and we would not have changed them even if we could. So just to reminisce, here are some of the best games of the '90s.

Tamagotchi

Silly Puddy

Bop It

Furby

Mystery Date and Dream Phone

Polly Pocket and Bratz

Lisa Frank

Lite-Brite

Scratch Art

Velvet Art

Spin Art

So much art was involved.

Shrinky Dinks

Fun Fusion Beads

Barbie Power Wheels

Razor Scooter

Hot Wheels (THINK FAST!)

Game Boy

Easy-Bake Oven

Hit Clips

Skip It

Even though our toys may not have had touch screens or wifi, they were enough for us. Future generations will never understand the simple joys of rollin' with the homies with our butterfly clips and 'N'Sync playing in the background.

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

The holiday classics that shaped my life

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."
