Haha, I remember pogs... never played with them though... think I got a few free with my Corn Pops or something... I think that was around the time that I was watching scads of Ren & Stimpy every day. My mom was grossed out by that show, so I had to sneak it in when I could... now we've got South Park and Family Guy, hahaha...

Pogs!!

I've still got mine, in my recordshelves right next to my True Playaz records... kepping it real, GHETTO!

"GHETTO!"

Also I was always building with Lego, loved/love that!

On a hip Hop tip I remember when I was like 12/13 buying this...

That was my first visit to my local Record Store, Standout RIP!

Peace.

I've got a few. I remember my first ever computer with an actual keyboard, a ZX spectrum with tape deck. Before that I rocked an Atari console, I'm ollld schoool. I had Super Soakers and all that stuff but my BMX was my favourite sh!t, a Raliegh Activator, bright blue with yellow crash cushion on the handlebars. I remember being like 12 years old riding down to the park on that thing, meet up with like 40 friends, smoke weed, listen to NWA and Cypress Hill and Snoop Dogg's first LP (I loved my westcoast gangsta sh!t back then) and all that good stuff. But WAAY back, before I was into double figures, I was macking it with my Atari in my room and watching old rap videos on Betamax. And chilling on my estate with my other little troublemaking friends getting up to all sorts of mischief.

I was so proud of owning the gold-case Legend of Zelda and Zelda II games, and when SNES came out, I was all about F-Zero and Super Metroid. Those were the games, man.

On Thes' Soul Sides interview, the games that I most remember (of the ones he talked about) were Marble Madness (dope game) and Toobin' (also a dope game).

I also had a BIG Super Soaker, and I lived next door to a swim club, so during summer, I was blasting EVERYONE with that thing... old ladies, little kids, lifeguards, the women's locker room... you understand. I felt kinda self-conscious pumping the pressure back up with it though

I know we've entered the Highlighter era now, but I wanna jump back two steps to the Fun DMC period and ask:

Name some of the stuff you owned that exemplifies your childhood.

I'm looking for video games, albums, movies, board games, Nerf sh*t, super soakers, a basketball hoop, whatever. I'm just curious what you guys considered fun.
