...that hooked you in and milked money out of your parents until they were skinny and poor. just like africans.

i couldn't resist nintendo. anything nintendo i wanted. i had the mario 3 underwear, the breakfast cereals, EVERYTHING.

[punkgrrrlie10]

barbies

[KevinTheOmnivore]

Prolly ninja turtles or star wars. :/

[ItalianStereotype]

but who didnt get sucked into ninja turtles...they had a new fucking gimmick like every week :/

[Zebra 3]

I was certainly one that got hooked big time. The playability on Mario is a fuckin' 10! I remember the guy at the corner store where I would rent games was always playing that game. The local paper even compared Nintendo's Mario as electronic cocaine.

Which Mario

[sadie]

barbies.

It impressed the hell out of everyone at its preview at a gaming convention, as it should. They're all 10s in my book, yes, even Mario 2.

I was HOOKED on my Super Nintendo. I had most of the accessories for it, and A LOT of games for it. I wasn't exactly addicted to a certain series of games, no, I was hooked on the SNES. And I made my parents spend so much money on it, it was pathetic. I still have all my stuff hooked up too. I play it regularly.

damn. i probably live really close to you, what part of dallas are you from?

[punkgrrrlie10]

I still have all my barbie ish. I'm looking for someone to buy it off me. I have old ones and stuff.

[ItalianStereotype]

i would buy it, but i am a guy and that would be VERY gay of me :smithers

i would, however, buy any mario stuff from back in the day, if anybody has some lying around :/

[Null and Void]

SNES EarthBound if anything

[kinot]

Earthbound.

Does anyone remember the McDonald's Mario Bros. toys? The only one I can remember was a Mario figure with a suction cup... I think he was in racoon form. I don't remember much of the description though.

Yes, I too wanted everything Nintendo orientated, even the glasses :/ All they were were just glasses with the nintendo logo

[Zbu Manowar]

I'll back the Turtles. I swear those mofos must have had two hats full of either animals or professions that they would mix and match just to get the new line of action figures.

Cockroach and exterminator? SCUMBUG!

Moose and RCMP officer? MONTY MOOSE with special "Rusty the Booster Squirrel" companion.

Mole and Miner? DIRTBAG!

And so forth. Problem was they were pretty fucking cool when they did it. Damn shame most of the toy line didn't find itself into the Eastman/Laird version. Now that would have been interesting.

[Blackjack]

Transformers. Then I grew up a bit and like some poor misguided fool got into Warhammer. Then it turned eveil and corporate and I got into punk.

Oh the Irony.

[CastroMotorOil]

I'll also jump on the Turtles bandwagon. Back in the day I made my parents buy WAY to many of those action figures.

[cenamalo]

kinot:
Earthbound freaking rocked.
And i still have that damn mario doll with the suction cup that never worked. I did manage to get it stuck to the window of our '89 aerostar. There's still a nice brown circle on the back window.

Never heard of MONTY MOOSE, but I like the sound of it.

[pissed off salesman]

my dads atari 2600 i had pong river raid pac man and the texas chainsaw massacre

[Raistlin]

aye... I remember the MacDonalds' SMB3 toys. I had the Racoon Mario jumper thing. You pressed it to a hard flat surface, and after a few minutes it would jump off. My "friend" stole it... this was also the "friend" who dumped my Blaster Master cartridge into a bubblebath... lucky for me it still worked. I would say the NES was my tool.. even though i didn't have a lot of games (maybe 12) i was always trying to rent them, and i was one of the few who were saving up enough to buy the ultimate for the time, the Game Genie, for 40 dollars. That and it took much of my time.

[Generator86]

Star Wars toys and the NES. And for some reason, I could never have enough Legos, even though I rarely used them.

Sorry I took so long to respond. Anyways, I just put Dallas because I live in Denton. What about yourself?

[Systemz]

The number one most addictive for me was Zelda 64. I know that's pretty nouveaux, but damn if I didn't lose about two weeks of my life on that game. I had just moved out and was a freshman in University and I swear I nearly failed because of that game.

[sadie]

zelda 64 rules!
