lmao
are the hypercolor shirts the ones that turned colors with warmth? everyone in my family had one of those

and yes, i did say at least 4-5 times that "that wasnt from the 80s"
i was only born in 86, but a lot of the toys and videos my siblings watched and played with were handed down to me.

Yeah, I'd always kill 20 buffalo. Loads of fun.

I wonder if that's really what happened to them?

Post by **pixel** » Sun Jul 27, 2003 8:14 pm

We used to name our passagers in Oregon Trail after our friends and watch them die from snake bites and drowning while fording the river

Our school had crap-0 old macs and we had Kid Pix too... omg, remember Number Munchers?! Our Nazi teacher in the 3rd grade believed it was the electronic Jesus and that is all we did... lmao

"The river is 12 feet tall"

"you have chosen to ford the river" lol

Do you guys remember Cross Country USA? It was basically a trucking sim where you start out with a cargo in one city and you have to take it across the country. It was neat. You got to eat at truck stops, you could run out of gas and even fall asleep at the wheel.

Of course, the faster you got your cargo to its destination, the higher your score.
