Hey Grant I didnt know you were that young in my day it was Atari, and there was a game system that came with a keyboard a a thick book that you had to program the game system yourself. ED

I still have one of the old Nintendos...Never play it anymore but still have it...Wow what great memories this is invoking...

Wow! I remember most of these things, but some of you must be older than I am. he-he-he-he No mention of Mighty Mouse (HERE I COME TO SAVE THE DAY) or Felix the Cat yet. I think the slinky toy is the one toy that has withstood the test of time. You can still pick one up just about any department store. AND can anyone remember what the first cartoon was that was in color. I remember watching it. I still remember watching the first time the Beatles were on the Ed Sullivan show. Twinkies do not taste the same as they used to.

This tread really gets me daydreaming. My first car, I laugh when I pictured myself putting pent striping, painting the grill black and putting tire black over the whitewalls on a RAMBLER.

I remember all those Moe. You were thinking of Dudley DoRight(Canadian Mountie), The dog was Smudley I think he was with Hong Kong Fooey. How about Land of the Lost, Sid & Monty Croft, Godzilla movies, along with Dracula, Frankenstien, and the Wolfman. Remember when FRIGHT NIGHT was on at 11 pm Saturday nights on WDRB 41. And on 41 at 11 am on Sunday mornings they would switch off from Abbott & Costello, to Shirley Temple movies. Then at 1 pm they would have the Million Dollar movie which usually be your favorite War movie or Western. Alot of John Wayne. How about when I was real young and had the Big Wheel, and I cant remember the other Riding toy that had the 2 Big wheels and how about ShaZam, Kung Fu. This is GREAT!!!ED h

Kings Island is awesome. I haven't been in a few years, and I want to return and ride the Son of Beast. I also hope to venture up to Cedar Point someday.

Kings Island was my favorite summer trip. I've been going since before the opening of 'The Beast.'
Anyone remember 'The Bat?' ;D

My parents told me about "The Bat". They said it was horrible, and my mom was terrified of that ride.
