What were the 1990s like for Slavs?

Did you have Banjo Kazooie and Space Jam like the West, or was there too much postcommunist turmoil for that?

I remember space jam but no early nintendo consoles, earliest stuff I remember is gbc and n64

I know the 90's were a fun time for the Chechens

Did Slavs have a Pokemon phenomenon like in the West?

>Banjo Kazooie
Nostalgia...

I got an nes in 97(was 4). It has been a trend since then that everything popular in the west comes to us 10 or so years later.

Our 2000s were 75% late 80s- full 90s and 25% the 00s. There was such a marvelous combination. Pokemon and Digimon saturday and sunday mornings, ultra fast internet on damned P4s, hundreds of channels but on CRT color tv, one in the group had an mp3 player and another had one of those round walkman cd players, all the good music and movies were daily on tv so we wouldn't have to wait for new releases, vhs+dvs rental store, playstation and web halls. Imagine we had a min of 20mbps web connection but most of us had dial ups. Things got more equal during 2004-2005 and from there we slowly catched up to today's shit.

I'd give anything to go back. We gamed in the middle of the day when there were 40 degrees outside and after 5 o clock in the evening the whole neighborhood would gather to play and do shit along...young, older, it wasn't any difference, we all got along!

Damn...I shed a tear...

I hope everyone lined up for Shaq-Fu in 2004

I was born in 1991 in a remote place with no law enforcement to speak of and a bunch of abandoned soviet shit. Got a few tales and stories.

That might not be quite what're you looking for, though.

007 was the greatest

Damn nigga, they upgrade you guys over there?

NES was huge in eastern europe in the 90s because the market was flooded with really cheap chinese famiclones with pirated rom's of pretty much every game built in. Basically piracy has made it so that all entertainment is equally available pretty much anywhere in the world now.

please tell

Terminator was the name for NES and SNES (2 in 1) and Rambo for the Sega ones. All the damned games were on a cheap plastic yellow cartriges and we would go in group to buy them from the outskirts of the city from some dudes that had them "displayed" on a stained cloth put on top of their car's hood. Fucking assholes, always tried to scam us...9999 games in 1 my fucking ass.

ah my first system, damn how I loved that shit

can confirm, in eastern europe 2000s was the 1990s

fun times

> Chechens
> Slavs

Russia was basically a gangster movie. Watch Brat or Brat II, they're probably on youtube with subtitles.

Hence why I didn't use the word Slav you gypsy

I'm actually going to buy it on my Xbox360 for $15 and play it again, my N64 doesn't work properly anymore.

>Russia was basically a gangster movie.
Only if you were actually a gangster.

I had a Famicom as a kid with pretty much all the classic NES games, had a ton of fun with that.
A friend of mine had a SNES later and a bunch of my friends had a PS1. I went with PC instead of fiddling around with consoles.

my mom took my gaming stuff away when i was grounded. she actually took it away almost all the time and only ever gave it back after school each day when i did chores. i offered to have it so i did all my chores.before she got home (latchkey kid) but she said no she liked to be able to make sure. I was also respectful and did my chores all the time. It started to be weird when she would do this to me when i was 17-18

Nothing wrong with that, especially if you lived with her at the time.
She was making sure you knew that you had to work in life before you deserve fun.

The "village" I lived in was about 50 km away from civilization. Back in those days barely anyone that I can remember had a car of their own and there was a bus that dropped by every 2 hours or so, and no one really wanted to walk all that shit on foot.

For the first few years there was nothing of note except for excessive looting of all the abandoned soviet buildings for shits and giggles and subsequent attempts at autistic crafting of our own toys.

The things that I remember were log-based jury-rigged catapults loaded to the brim with apples, truck tire ballistas made between 2 close-by trees, "swords" made out of iron bars that niggas used to put on windows, body armor made of MGS-grade cardboard boxes and shields made of styrofoam blocks that were stolen from the nearest construction site that had fuckall for security.
There was a bunch of shitty chinese toy pistols like on picture related and a seemingly endless supply of fireworks provided by some shady cunt none of us really knew. There were a lot of assorted games and happenings around that until the very end of the 90's and the beginning of 2000's, at which point I got a Sega Genesis, which was the only one around the place. The games for it were stolen from bumfuckistan, so all we had was Sonic 2, some crappy race, Lion King and Ariel the Mermaid or something if I recall correctly.
Shit was magical for the next two years - autisming the very same games and continuing looting. After those two years we started getting PCs, where it got really boring from a storytelling perspective.
But even after that the most "popular" thing was to go outside and build some shit, or break some shit, or steal some shit, or burn some shit, or combine all of this.

There was that one time when we threw firecrackers at some fat fuck in a black car - that seemed like a good thing to do at the time, which started chasing us around with a gun, and then we ditched the fat guy none of us liked.

> comment too long

No mutants in the buildings?

Did anyone else have the sega master system with the original sonic that would only play if you started the console without a cartridge in?
>Dad bought me sega chess to 'improve intelligence'.
>Proved my intelligence by turning the console on without sega chess in and playing sonic instead.

Your father wanted to help you. Perhaps teach you a skill you could keep your whole life.

Instead, you went fast.

You gotta do what you gotta do.

We had hobos and gypsies instead of mutants that tried to occupy the abandoned buildings, but then everyone kinda "agreed" that they have to go, including our parents.
We resorted to terrorism tactics and shit we saw on TV and whatnot.
Use dry peas, stuff them into a used toilet paper roll, add a highpower firecracker, light it, throw it into the gypsyland, greatly enjoy the unfolding events. Use multiple. Use dry ice. Use matchstick-based noisemakers that made a sound vaguely resembling a gunshot. Etc, there was a fuckton of ways to fuck with people, including sticking near-endless firecrackers into piles of shit, creating splatters that were enough to give a raging erection to an indian and teaching us lots upon lots of new swearing words we had no idea of. Lil' niggas went all out.

Glorious.

To be fair I also played Sega Chess enough to beat the average nobody. That was until I got Ultima IV and never looked back.

I'm actually a little jelous of your childhood user

Mine was filled with aimless wanderings in the desert but my supply of explosives was disappointingly small

One other thing was that besides abandoned buildings there were a bunch of abandoned trucks with their batteries still in them. The batteries could be salvaged for lead that you could melt in a soviet teapot (shit's indestructible - god sees we tried) and pour it out and make something out of it via molds made on the ground and/or with usage of animal remains to give our autistic creations form.

There were times when we found bullets for shit like AKs and then there was the ultimate chicken autism challenge - you throw the fucking bullets into an open fire and hide, fully expecting for the bullet to kick off and obliterate your shit.

There were soviet capacitors that could be charged at a power outlet and then used as a makeshift taser. The luckiest cunts of all time had small but good ones that could be hidden in hand. Handshake of GET FUCKED M8.

There's a bunch more like this.

I'm sure they were too busy fighting over potatoes and blue jeans to care about decadent vidya.

that sounds way more fun than vegetating behind the degenetron

nope, we had "computer clubs" where one could play PC or PS games

Man...that sounds like fun. I was born and raised in a suburb, so the most outdoorsy fun I'd have with friends would be ding-dong ditching and going to the park to LARP when we were like 5.

I wager a great many rubles that brawls broke out over games of CS.

Wow, this advertisement isn't even relevant or applicable anymore. It's implied that the child would miss being able to go outside and hang out with their friends when their grounded. Nowadays when you ground a child that involves taking away their electronics.

NO ONE ASKED YOU , HUE

>But even after that the most "popular" thing was to go outside and build some shit, or break some shit, or steal some shit, or burn some shit, or combine all of this.
Russia in a nutshell, at least you're productive

That shit was confusing man. I remember we rented it for 3 days and got to the guy at the end but then petered out and watched scrambled porn instead

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU GET THE ICE KEY THOUGH

We did.

dandy instead of nintendo, turbo gums, yippie juice powder, pokemon chips, 80s anime, lion king, audio tapes, no screen addiction

>Porn used to take minutes to load and was of ultra low quality.
>Still would have it load in background while reading on another tab.

they had a super Nintendo clone called Dendi

How much Tetris did you guys play

>a seemingly endless supply of fireworks provided by some shady cunt none of us really knew

> Winter, Romania 2006
>Walk down 4 blocks to get your days supply of imported Russian fireworks and firecrackers
>Fuck around with your friends
>Scare gyspies going through the trash
>Find some cool shit in the trash yourself
>Steal water from the pump station with the sleeping operator
>Ice over a parking lot and inclined ramp so you can try to skate and shit
>Rinse and repeat

What is Russia like outside of Moscow and the east. Is it under developed?

The 90s weren't a good time. You only think they were because you're underaged and didn't pay attention in history class, so you don't know what good times were like.

I was introduced to counter strike and redtube by some 15-20 year old (not sure) at one of those pc cafes.
Good times

They were ok.

Intervention was a mistake. -Bill Clinton

Bog je Srbin!

No SJW or liberal propaganda shoved down kids' throats. Technology was simple enough that it didn't overrun our lives

Hey, I'm from Russia and my childhood lands on 90s.

How was it? My toys were construction materials. My friends were bums. My neighbors in a communal flat of 10 people which share the same kitchen and bathroom were drug-addicts with syphilis. And they did have a syphilitic son of my age. My other neighbor shot himself because someone ditched him on money. Used condoms everywhere with sharps. Gangs in school. Gangs outside of school.

Thank you for helping us destroy communism. They would make me live in my own flat free of charge and push me to university.
