keep on walking to the video game aisle

>1995
We were poor as fuck. We go there just to window shop then my dad buys me whatever I pointed at for Christmas.

I loved my dad. ;_;

The ahh real monsters figures were fucking based. They used sculpts made by this one guy named mel brinkast failed monster toy line called pets of frankenstein melbirnkrant.com/aaahh/page6.html
Fucking vidya faggots like you killed the toy industry

make a beeline for the display with these things just sitting out and put my face in it

I wonder if kids today even know what this thing is

They still sell them at Wal-Mart. Right next to the shitty excuses for Transformers toys.

Go to the section with the Gargoyles toys and beg my mom to buy me them.

Thankfully she loved Gargoyles as well, so we ended up with pretty much all the main group.

That's like saying the car killed the horse trolley

>mom who like co

lucky bastard

Why would I be in Toys R Us, my LCS carries all the Spawn toys I need.

>1995

That was about a year before Beast Wars would take over my toy collecting wants and needs, so G2 Transformers were my primary fixation still, I cared little for non transforming robot toys back then

Though, I do recall having some of that Nick branded stuff usually given to me as gifts

I remember the "Yak attack" thing, it seemed every kid had one of those stupid little things and was endlessly amused by it

Nickelodeon was forbidden in my house because of the innuendos on Rocko's modern life (it was only one and that was the "Chokey Chicken" restaurant.)

Oh and Ren and Stimpy.

So, none of this wouldn't have excited me. We'd probably pass.

>not being excited by the things you werent allowed to watch

they broke you early didnt they user

I went to TRU last week and saw brand new Rugrats, Hey Arnold, and Ren and Stimpy toys. Plus the original Power Rangers. What the?

No, because video games were never meant to replace toys.

No, its different. People will always have a need for physical toys you can hold and play with, but gamer trash have popularized a cancer that creates that feel but takes away the physical and emotional attachments one gets with phsyical playtime. Your industry is a fucking cancer eroding society and if it were up to me it would all be burned down.

>growing up without Rugrats
Tragic.

Also, Rocko had a lot of innuendo.

>1995

>what do

Walk past it and make a beeline for the videogame section.
I had no time for petty toys; all my time and money was reserved for the latest Sega Genesis releases.
In 1995 I was going to the Playstation display to see the new 3d graphics and work on my begging so I could get one. (My parents didn't really see the point in getting me a Playstation when I had a "perfectly good Nintendo" meaning a Sega Genesis they had bought me 2 years prior)

Hey there were some decent games based on Nicktoons

RIP Toys R Us

I cant really care, because it's so shit now.

But none of those look like the monsters in the show

I think they're still important because they have shit you can't find anywhere else.
My nephew likes Sonic The Hedgehog and fucking Walmart and Target came up empty for his birthday, so where was I supposed to go?

And don't say Internet I'm a lazy fuck who waits until the last minute so I couldn't wait for shipping.

Found it at Toys 'R Us of course.

Fuck you I grew up listening to this

youtube.com/watch?v=3QxsH0BPBG4

Fuck you man
fuck you :'(

>200 buckaroonies console
>25 dollarydoos for controller and memcard
>50 clams for the games
>all this in 95 monies
I forgot how expensive gaming used to be.

Let me guess:
Each character has a unique but useful/cool exclusive ability.
Fucking love that shit in these games. Fuck that brings me back.

In my Toys R Us days, we had an entirely different videogame section.

>And don't say Internet I'm a lazy fuck who waits until the last minute so I couldn't wait for shipping

That's not being lazy. That's being stupid.

Lazy is when you do your shopping in the span of about ten minutes without ever leaving your chair.

They made the main three monsters and the teacher, and every other character in the line was made up. They resculpted the faces among other parts to look like the style in the show. The only one i have from the line is scarfer, who has a magnet in his mouth so when his metal spoon full of plastic bugs would enter the crevice in his mouth his jaw would move up

Pretty much, it was mostly my over protective mother who broke me though. My dad didn't give a shit, as long as we don't watch it when my mom was in the house. And that was only an hour after I got home from school.

Well, I got to watch the Rugrats, but on a signature orange VHS tape. And pre-Disney Doug, but that's it.

Ha, my first game console was my Dad's Atari in 1987
We used to play it together good times

He also loved my Nintendo and Super Mario Bros but unfortunately he never got into any other game after that

Mine was that TI-99/4A in 1983. What I remember most about the videogame aisle was you tore off a ticket, took it to the cashier to pay, they validated it or something, then you took the ticket to the locked booth in the front corner of the store to get the actual game.

Same thing happend to me, sadly. Except my moms bitchiness allowed only nickelodeon and nothing else. It wasnt until i was fucking 11 that i discoverd the superiority of cartoon network.

>Nickelodeon was forbidden in my house because of the innuendos on Rocko's modern life (it was only one and that was the "Chokey Chicken" restaurant.)
>Oh and Ren and Stimpy.

Wow so your parents actually took the time to watch it with you and nitpick the innuendos?

I guess having parents who don't give a shit is both a blessing and a curse lol
If it was a cartoon they assumed it was ok for me, that was their only rule.

funny considering nick had its fair share of messed up cartoons in the day

My family was too poor for Toys R Us. All those fancy Lego sets and Thomas the Tank Engine toys that looked nice were never even on the map for me.

I think that's why I turned to vidya. Plenty of longevity.

I don't think I watched any of those shows on Nickelodeon. I remember things like David the Gnome, Eureeka's Castle, Double Dare, but wasn't around for Rugrats, Doug, Rocko's, etc.

Run towards the vidya and Lego section, then gawk at cool bikes.

then go home with none

When I was a kid literally the only show I wasn't allowed to watch was Beavis and Butthead, the only reason for it was that my mom thought it was "stupid"

In retrospect, having seen the show as an adult and seeing it was fairly tame even if immature, it makes no sense cause I grew up on all kinds of R rated media which was more of the norm for kids back then, and was also allowed to watch South Park when it came out. she just really hated that show and didn't want me to see it. Also, it's somewhat ironic I would become a moronic teen delinquent who's wardrobe consisted of like 50 percent Metallica and AC/DC t shirts regardless.

Or they were just in the room at the time folding clothes or something, a scene would happen on whatever show was on the TV, and then we weren't allowed to watch it any more. That happened with Tiny Toons in our house.

Fuck off straight to the LEGO. I need me some more Ice Planet sets so the other kids don't get the upper hand in the LEGO wars.

Just like me.

To be fair, kids nowadays get whatever they want without working for it and they grow up to be entitled little assholes who think the world owes them everything.

When you always get what you want getting what you want stops being special. I actually thank my parents for all those disappointing times I walked out of a Walmart or Toys R' Us without getting what I wanted, it made the rarer times I did get it very special, made my lawn mowing and saving up to buy games fulfilling,
and helped me build character.

If it were 1995, I would be all about motherfucking Exooooooo Squaaaaaaaad. My biggest regret is never getting Wolf Bronski, or all of the Macross/Robotech 7" figures.

Actually, I don't think we even had cable in 1995. Cartoon choices on weekday afternoons were either Disney Afternoon or Fox Kids. So, Gargoyles I guess.

Kb toys in the mall was way better. Ninja Turtles discount bin. That little battery powered dog that did flips. Flying planes on strings. Containers of Gak opened and laying on the shelf. Vidya games free play.

I was 14, so I'd have been looking at video games.

goddamn yeah man kb toys was sweeeeet

Are you saying you can't have emotional or physical attachments to videogames? Have you literally never played a game or owned a console?

Aren't they made of plastic now?

Ive never owned a console

>how expensive gaming used to be
It's still pretty damn expensive.

This picture... I am seconds from literally crying.

I'm overwhelmed.

I wonder how it would feel to put your dick in it.

Is...is the giraffe having sex in that final panel!?

Funny enough I went to TRS yesterday and they had a little bundle of Nicktoons stuff. Blind box figures, bobbleheads, and plushes of Ren & Stimpy, Rugrats, Hey Arnold, and Rocko.

They even had a little Nick Slime lab set.

>where's the goddamn WCW figures

With a bowl of cookies in front of the tree on Christmas morning, yes..

I enjoy a post sex snack myself

Granted you're talking about inflation, but today you got 500 dollar consoles, 50 dollar controllers, 60 dollar games, etc. Not to mention the VR and Move junk.

The games in , inflation-adjusted, are somewhere between $52 and $95 apiece. And that'd be $95 on a home port of Centipede that's not quite accurate to the arcade version, either.

That face is killing me.

>implying 90s kids aren’t the most spoiled and entitled generation there is

Try 2005 gramps

That'd be the current generation of kids, many of whom are fully versed in the internet by age 5 and work it on phones and tablets that are better than what some adults have.

But to be fair, most of their dipshit parents grew up in the '90s.

My parents didn't gave a shit if all of my grades stay at 2 or higher. They openly said that I've obviously got my shit together so they don't need to put any restrictions on me.

Buy as many of these fuckers as I can

Go for Joe! I had Roadblock. The only Tiger Force figure I got.

few months back, a crappy $2 store had an official WCW DDP man-bag in the window. I bought it. Guess it didn't get released before the takeover and had been sitting in a warehouse for 18 years.

they had slightly better toys 20 years later

What was the 90s obsession with gross, sticky gooey things?

My nostalgia has turned to extreme sadness. Thinking about going into a store circa 1990~ fucks me hard.

In 1995 I got a huge Barbie horse and carriage set, it was fucking dope and I was the happiest 4 year old in the world

I also got a Sesame Street playhouse with Bert and Ernie and the bed they shared

Canada?

I go to the toy store with my Niece and Nephew pretty often now and they get so excited.

I wish I still felt excitement like that about stuff, I fucking hate life fuck you OP

What I miss are Software Etc. and Egghead Software stores in the mall. Stores you could walk into and the shelves were packed with PC games in those big cereal-box-sized boxes.

Me and my brothers were just talking about Toys R Us the other day. One of my brothers was saying that kids still play with toys and we said that they would rather play on a tablets.

Anyways, this and Showbiz Pizza(that's right, Showbiz)was the greatest things ever as kids.

When my sister's kids come to visit, I'll usually walk through the house to see one of them playing Minecraft on the computer and the other three watching shows on tablets or phones. I'm not sure if toys are even still a thing.

Man, I got a free PS1 cause my cousin worked at Toys R Us. She literally handed it to us at checkout.

It was like an early Birthday/Christmas surprise. Wake up, go to Toys R Us and leave with a stolen PS1

You must not leave the house yourself if you don't think kids play outside.

I fucking hate this. Minecraft is fucking onnoxious and boring, and kids need to use their imaginations and emotions when playing, something they cant do in the confines of a structurally created video game. I hate this

Why do you need to use your emotions while playing Miney Crafty? Isn't it just a 3d lego simulator?

>1995
>Walk into Toys R Us
How? I was sperm.

Probably go look at LEGO, I don't remember any Nickelodeon toys being good except maybe the farting Stimpy.

Pic not related.

My nephews don't even care about Minecraft or videogames anymore. They would rather watch YouTube and Twitch than do anything else.

Well, back when we were kids, the trend was kids just sitting in front of the TV all day. The underlying form hasn't changed, just what they watch and what tech they're watching it on.

Play video games in the vg isle. I spend hours there.

Twisted Metal and Destruction derby 2. Don't care for the rest.
