Born in the 80s crowd (previously known as the 30s thread)

Somewhere in the high desert of northern Arizona, on the Navajo Reservation, in an old house next to a hogan where there is no electricity or running water there was packed away this. My old NES in its original box from 1989(-ish).
I have yet to open it up and see how it's working, but it was in very good working order when I packed it away about 15 years ago.

 

Dude that shit still works I would put money on it, I gotta dig mine out of storage, I have the NES that came with Super Mario, duck hunt (gun) and Track and Field (w/powerpad) as a combo cartridge.

 

awesome! i am going to get the new version they are releasing soon.

 

Any one watch, or used to watch Power Rangers? My kids like to watch Power Rangers Samurai series, which really isn't much different than the original. Out of curiosity, I checked out Samurai Sentai Shinkenger Henshin, which is what the Power Rangers is based off of. The special effects are slightly better, and the fighting is a little less ridiculous. Downside, the yellow and pinks rangers aren't as good looking.

(The episodes are split into smaller parts)

I was more of a Ninja Turtles kid.

 

I was too old for power rangers when they came out.

But there is a power rangers movie in 2017 that should come out.

 

I never really watched Power Rangers. I did used to watch VR Troopers sometimes (same company). And it seems that show was just as bad, if not worse, than taking footage from Japanese shows.

I remember that! That's the best part of this thread. All the shit I forgot someone else remembers.

 

Loved power rangers, check this out.

Watched a couple episodes today. Netflix has it. Definitely a cheesy 90's kid's action show, even down to the poor VHS quality.

 

Got myself a cool knife like I used to have when I was a kid.

 

My brother and I both had one, grandma bought it for us at the penny candy store in Live oak CA. My brother swapped in a blade in his lol

 

Oh man. I loved those combs. I had one and took it with me to use on picture day at school. Got in trouble for having it. Felt like THE MAN as I was next up in line and flipped out my comb to sweeten up my do. Then BOOM. Teacher yanks me out of line and took my comb!

 

I had one of those once! School took it away, never got it back. Upgraded to the thing after that.

 

Anyone else in the dog house for getting rid of usless clutter? My wife is really angry, but I think she will get over it when the house looks clean. I got the kitchen and living room done, it feels like I am living in someone elses very clean and tidy house, lol.

I wonder if the salvation army will pick up this stuff.

 

Yup. My wife piles her shit up and then just keeps relocating it all over the house. So one room is always fucked with her shit. She says to me one day "let's go through this".

I wheel in the trash can, all the sudden I'm no longer allowed to go through her stuff.

I'd of thrown all that shit in the trash. She hasn't opened those boxes in years.

 

A friend told me that he tells his wife "it is in the attic" and she never goes up there to look. So far he has been lucky.

 

Shit that's a good idea!

 

I'm 2 episodes in on Stranger Things. It's pretty damn awesome.

 

Only 2? I would have expected something like "I stayed up all night and watched all the episodes. It was amazing. I can't wait for season 2."
