*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 06-17-2004, 06:32 PM

Haha, I've done some of it.

Too young for some of the stuff, though.

Skip-its ruled.

PZelda · 06-17-2004, 06:34 PM

Half of those things could be classified in the 80's category. And I've done about 95% of those, plus about half for the 80's.

I was almost 5 when 1990 rolled around and 14 when 1999 ended.

And I should explain something...Ducktales ended in 1990, it's more of a 80's thing because Ducktales started in 1987. One of my first memories is watching Ducktales.

MASH. Wow... that game. The number of times I got in trouble in class for not paying attention because I was too busy seeing what color my wedding dress was going to be...

Oregon Trail is still my favorite game!
