My favourite childhood thing was attending Camp Feral!... but it's changed...

It's 19+ now and it makes my furry heritage cry.

Hahah! I remember playing the original Oregon Trail and Odell Lake on those huge things. We thought they were so hi-tech because the oxen walked. Odell Lake was cool to play cuz you got to be a fish, or at least that's what we thought at the time: Looking back, the whole premise was if you saw a bigger fish, run, and if you saw a smaller fish, eat it. Woo.

Our school had a color-matching game too, which only worked on one computer because the rest only had those screens that were just amber-on-black. XD

Shit, you WERE high-tech. The oxen didn't walk on the C64 version.

PoliceQuest was where it was at. Cause brutally beating up innocents with your baton, all conveyed by text is awesome.

I was thinking alot about this then I realised that 2 shows I really miss from when I was younger are Danger Mouse and Count Duckula.

Rocko was my favourite for the old shows.
Also you guys left out all the dirtiest things on Rocko. Rocko working for a phone sex line ("yeah, yeah, oh baby yeah""tell me what you're wearing""MRS BIGHEAD!?") the fetish episode("I like rainbows""YOU SICK FREAK!") and of course, the time they milked Heifer. Much to Heifer's enjoyment. That show got away with soo much. Also that censored scene was, so ridiculous I'm amazed they even got to animating it.

And I remember one really good episode of Dexter, the Muffin King. That was epic.

This, also Angry Beavers. Caught an episode of that a year or so back, that was ALL about masturbation they called it tail slapping. I remember that ep being distinctly crappy as a kid, but find it hilarious now, it was so overloaded with innuendo it wasn't actually funny to kids.

Ren and Stimpy and Pete and Pete were also favourites. Especially Wiener Barons from R&S and the Rock,Paper Scissors ep of Pete and Pete.

I'll be honest, I miss TechTV from when I was younger.

The Screen Savers were awesome and fuck you if you think otherwise.

y'all talk about ReBoot and i'd like to point out:

It's coming back.

I miss old crisp bag sizes. Think about it. They used to come out from a vending machine all big at 40g.

Then 35g.

Now it's like 20g. And yet cost more.

I miss really cheesy cartoons like Pole Position, Jayce and The Wheeled Warriors, Ulysses 31, Dungeons and Dragons and Thundercats.

Oh and Battle of the Planets - they still show that on Hong Kong TV.

Wacky Racers! Top Cat! *sees lots of blank stares* wow I feel old...

And for those in the UK - the BBC science program: Tomorrow's World. That was all flavours of awesome, it made science and technology accessible to young minds.
