The Nifty Nineties

The 1990s. Some say only "90's kids" remember it. Wouldn't it be great if you could too? Personally, I would love to relive some of the things that I grew up with, through new eyes, to see all the things I used to love.

The Nineties gave us all things we love today. This was the birth of polygonal (instead of 2-dimensional, sidescrolling) games in the Nintendo 64. There are so many games that come to the mind of any child who had lived at least 3 years in the 90's, such as Ocarina of Time, Crash Bandicoot, Glove-World, Mario 64, and so many others. Seeing them today brings a sense of nostalgia, along with a flood of memories to when the times were much simpler.

Besides video games was the music. Oh man the music! This was the birth of grunge, ska, and punk! Unfortunately, many artists from the 1990's died before their time, leaving all of those who were too young to see them in concert saddened. I for one would have loved to see Nirvana (with Kurt Cobain) and Sublime (with Bradley Nowell) live in concert! It would be amazing, especially since they weren't too popular at the time, making the concerts smaller and better by comparison.

Also, this was cartoons' PRIME. Now, all the cartoons are terrible, with so many innuendos (that children nowadays DO get) and with terrible story lines, made worse by their cheesy puns. Back then, there were shows like Hey Arnold!, Chalk Zone, Rugrats, Batman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, and so many more. I would love to visit the 90's to be able to see all of these shows as if it was my first time seeing them.
