You owned an NES or a Master System (and probably still have it stored away in a cupboard somewhere)

You thought purple and orange shell-suits were the height of fashion

You remember the short-lived 'Bill & Ted' cartoon

You had a space hopper

You played with Weebles ("Weebles wobble but they don't fall down" )

You're favorite cartoons were 'The Racoons', 'Kissy-Fur', 'Captain Planet' and 'Denver The Last Dinosaur'

You remember Corey Feldman for his acting ability and not all the trouble he ended up getting into

You wanted to dress all in black and get a motorcycle after seeing 'The Lost Boys'

You wore bermuda shorts and Clarks 'magic shoes'

You thought 'Labyrinth' was cool

You remember 'The Get-Along Gang' and still know the words to the theme song

You played Pac Man and thought that video games could never possibly get any better

How sad is this? You can remember that She-Ra and He-Man shouldn't hook up because they were twin brother and sister! LOL, there's something I hadn't thought about in a decade...

You remember when Fred Savage was the love of your life.

You remember when you and every one of your friends was going to marry a member of New Kids on the Block

Hot pink was the color of choice.

Your parents wouldn't let you listen to Madonna - and you had no idea why not.

You remember Vanilla Ice, and all of the parodies to the one song he sang.

LOL! These are funny! I only grew up during a little of the '80s, but still experienced a lot of this because of my older brother and sister. I rode on my brother's He-Man tricycle. I played with my sister's old My Little Ponies and Popples. I read almost every single Baby-sitters Club book. I remember watching lots of Duck Tales and whatnot. Hehe.
