The Nostalgia Thread

Same here. That's why I only play the 90s Pop Culture Edition. I suck at general trivia , but can kick a good amount of *** when it comes to 90s pop culture trivia.:p



I never could grasp the whole chess thing. I always stuck with checkers.

I used to love playing chess but have never found people that actually play it overhere. I think that my chess days are over. :(

I used to play chess as well. These days I occasionally play chess with colleagues at work, but mostly I play online at chess.com (with the same colleagues). There are other online chess sites as well, I remember Fromper saying he played somewhere else ...

I'll have to try to play online and see whether I still remember how to play.:D

I'll have to try and a game
I've been waiting for someone to teach me how to play chess. But even if I learn, I'll probably suck at it. :(

That makes 2 of us . :confused:
 
The cellphone I'm currently using has a bunch of ringtones. Most of them are musical. A couple of them are regular telephone rings. I don't like the musical ringtones, and the "modern bell" ringtone is really annoying. So I use the "classic bell" ringtone for everything. It's a comforting, familiar sound and it really does sound like somebody's rotary phone is ringing. I like it. :)

That's what I use also. My phone didn't come with it though. I have to search for one online and d/l it.
My old phone had a doorbell sound for text messages which I really liked. I haven't been able to find a similar one for this phone.
 
Haha, the doorbell thing reminds me of when I was a kid and had to go to "boring" furniture stores on weekends to shop with my parents and I wanted to ring the mock doorbells.:D I was so bored that I wanted to jump on the beds and sofas too.
 
I have a bunch of board games in my garage. A nice deluxe version of Scrabble (with the built in turntable), still sealed.

All the games I have from growing up are not the "popular" brand names. Mostly Ravensburger games that were sold through Discovery Toys (my mom's friend sold). My favorites are Wildlife Adventure, Enchanted Forest, and The Squirrel Game. I also have Mancala, which I really like.

I have a goal to make space in one of my closets to bring the games inside so I can play them with Husband. (Once they've been thoroughly inspected for spiders, of course.)

I also have a deluxe Monopoly, with the wood houses, but I'm probably going to donate that to charity: Husband hates Monopoly and I don't have anyone else to play with, so no use in taking up space with it.
 
I have Deluxe Monopoly too! With nobody to play with. :(

A few of the game pieces went missing though; I hope the dog or the shoe is still there.
 
Oh, I loved Click Clacks!!

Who remembers Merlin? I was addicted to it and one of my friends brother and her parents called me Merlin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merlin_(game)

How about the thing that was a circle you put around your ankle, had a rope and a ball or something similar on the end and you skipped? Can't remember the exact name of it.

Sledding using whatever you could find besides a sled. We would use cardboard boxes, tops of trash cans, the trash can itself (someone would go inside the trash can and everyone else would push you down the hill).

Real penny candy stores where you could go in with 50 cents and come out with 50 pieces of candy...

I loved playing outside all day and coming home a wreck. Cuts, bruises and leaves/grass/straw sticking out of the dust mop on my head. :p

Skip It, I think it was called. I could do that all day, that and hula hoops. :)
