Honestly, everything was cooler back in the day. No matter what it was, there was hardly anything on the shelves of your local Target, Walmart or Best Buy that did not stand out from the crowd, with innovative designs and eye-catching colors. It is a far cry from the sea of gray, white and black metals and glass we have become accustomed to today.

And yeah, it is a little sad that our once rather innocent need to be individualistic has been mashed into submission by companies who prefer to make the same shape, color and model of a gadget rather than offer us unique versions that suit our personalities. So we wanted to take a few moments to remember and reminisce over the retro icons that we left behind twenty years ago, but that still live fresh in our memories. So sit back, relax and prepare yourself for one heck of a tubular trip.

  • Talk about a Nickelodeon starter pack. Well, maybe a bit more than a starter pack, considering these were the prized items each and every one of us 90s and 80s kids grew up dreaming about. But you know what they say, you now have adult money to make adult decisions with, so go make a childish one.

  • You know, this has got us thinking, how the heck did Nintendo never come out with a neon colored game boy? It was right there, you made every color under the sun, then you made it clear, then you made it metallic, where oh where is our neon, glow in the dark console?
