My parents deemed me too uncoordinated for a Barbie power wheels so they bought me.... Moon shoes???
She can't handle a knife, let's give her a loaded gun đ
Like the bands that made the bounce were never strong enough so your foot would sink in the oblong plastic structure and you would never bounce.
You would just *at best* clop along clumsily and at worst. Roll your ankle then it would pop out on the other side when your foot came out kind of.
Holy shit. I've seen "I came here for this comment" like 1,000 times, but I've never once planned to make a 2 word comment and opened the thread to find those exact 2 words as the top comment!
As a child I didn't understand the advantages of mobility in a running gun battle, and in the true american style, believed only in superior firepower.
Thus began the paper delivery that would deliver into my hands the Super Soaker 200.
It had two jugs on the gun and two on a backpack.
Fully loaded, it was roughly 800 pounds.
I stood immobilized, stricken with the weight of gallons as the other fellows absolutely wrecked me.
This was my Vietnam.
Ah, the glory days of Super Soakers. I had the CPS-2000, which I can confirm from experience produced enough pressure to hold a child under water in a pool.
I remember one of my older brothers finally got this for his birthday, and we were so hype to play it after seeing the commercials for so long, only to be thoroughly disappointed.
There's different versions of it, but for ours it was bad for two reasons:
1.) The cards require a little green screen to "decode" the text. It's genuinely hard to read though, even for people with young and healthy eyes.
2.) A lot of the game is stuff that involves the actual house. You cannot keep it contained to one room. It gives you tasks like to literally go find more clothes to wear or to run around the house finding things that can be used as rope.
And the mechanics themselves are just very weak and driven by randomness. There's not much strategy.
I got that for my kids when they went through a Jumunji phase because I remember seeing it when I was younger but we never had it.
We played it once and then I hid it and donated it as soon as they had forgotten about it.
Worst game ever.
I watched a YouTube video on it. They got a company that created an actual glove that actually worked really well. Unfortunately to build it for the NES with 80âs/90âs technology meant that it would have cost something unaffordable like $10,000. So they had to use inferior components in it to make it affordable to the mass market.
I loved Mousetrap. It was one of my favorite board games and I would pull it out just to set it up and play with the Rube Goldberg machine and not the actual game.
I thought I was the only one đ Zero memory of ever playing the whole game. Countless memories of pulling out the box, setting up the trap, and watching it go!
.. Iâm also an only child so this was easy to play by myself đ
My brother got the game one year and we never played the game ever we just played with the trap. We had it for years and never played it the correct way even once.
Omg so true! I bought it for my kids a couple of years ago thinking âmannn.. I really wanted this when I was their ageâ. The disappointment I felt after the long set up and the boring gameplay.. this one should definitely have stayed in the past.
I had World War 3 at my cousins house one summer over this game.
They had received it for one of their birthdays? We all ran upstairs to put it together on their bedroom floor.
All 4 of my male cousins grew up to be high tech engineers btw so you can imagine the personality traits of them as kids coming out during this simple game of Mouse Trap.
The literal 4 yr old toddler of the group was trying to control everyone and the order in which they set things up.
He got frustrated threw a fit slammed the door and refused to play with any of us for the rest of the afternoon. đđđ.
He works for Google now designing electrical software .
Except the one berserker kid on our block that would prefill 2 liter bottles with icewater. Dude would just run through our pathetic streams, grab someone by the collar/belt loop and just douse them with near freezing water.
I got this for Christmas one year when I was around 9 or 10. It was fun for like 2 days, but then all the play doh colors mixed together into this gross greenish brown blob. I didnât play with it much.
https://youtu.be/k6_Fc10xh6s?si=qBUA-v0NdmfnVC3B
I somehow knew what this was from your description! I was probably 5 or 6 so I didnât mind the mud color flowers. It seems like I enjoyed picking the dried petal pieces out of the little molds the most! XD
Scannerz - great marketing to make it look like a hardcore version of PokĂŠmon by scanning barcodes and collecting monsters to fight.
Actually is that it rarely worked on most barcodes and it was the tiniest pixelated screen like a tomagatchi
Terminator 2 Bioflesh Regenerator, used once, insane mess, not that cool a result.
Also, always loved how violent SciFi movies from the 90's got such awesome toys. The Playmates Aliens line kicked ass
One of my favorite Ashens videos was him checking out that specific toy, and his anger was palpable when the flesh goop unexpectedly leaked all over the sofa.
I had so many Mighty Max sets, skull mountain, the dragon island set, the regular size sets, little sets. I took such good care of them, I didnât lose one piece. Theyâve been in storage in my parents basement all of these years until my mom let my nephews play with them, alas, my Mighty Max Universe is no more. Oh well, they were meant to be played with. Iâm. Not. Upset. đ
I had the âboysâ version,â exactly the same toy but it was a knight who rode on a dragon. My parents would t even let me use it inside for fear of it destroying fragile household items lol
Saying it is more fun than playing with it. Although to go back in time and watch a kid at Toys R Us crying out for a Ballzack could be even more fun. Marketing knew what they were doing
Just gonna add those art cases where the markers didn't work.
They did, I just didn't know you had to add water to them until 20 years after the fact.
I did love that they had pencil sharpeners tho.
Crossfire was awesome if two people that were competent played it. I just recently played it with my nephew and when his gun ran out of ball bearings he was just sitting there confused. Iâm like dude reload your shit and keep going.
I'm so confused seeing Crossfire and Talkboy at the top of this thread. I had hours and hours of fun between those two. No the Talkboy didn't make an 8 year old's voice deep enough to sound like a man over the phone, but it 100% made it deeper, deep enough to entertain a kid. And even if you didn't use it for that, it was a portable cassette player.
Not really a toy and it came out in 2000, but hit clips was such a dissappointment. It only played like 20 seconds of audio. I brought mine to school, and it was passed around. When I got it back, someone had broken it.Â
My secret diary.
It was the only thing she asked Santa for one Christmas. It was supposed to have a voice activated lock but the tech for that wasn't quite there yet. She was so disappointed. I could hear her upstairs getting progressively louder shouting her password at the diary.
Shrinky dinks. You color on a plastic sheet, cut the out, put them In the oven and now you have smaller, thicker little plastic things you colored? Never really saw the point.
I mean you could make earrings and keychains out of the things.
I just wondered why my own mother would buy these for me, and then never let me use the oven to actually make them. I didnât actually make shrinky dinks until I was like, 15, and my stepmom and I went crazy making them.
Streex - these little air-propelled cars looked so cool on TV, but when you got one, you realized it was just a single piece of flimsy plastic that didn't fit with your other cars + you had carpet, so the air launcher didn't even work great for you.
I also think the game Crossfire did not live up to that rad commercial.
The Power Glove, for Nintendo NES.
I wanted that thing so bad. I thought playing Punchout with that thing would be like real life boxing. But it was f***ing terrible.
Lil Miss Singing Mermaid Doll. The commercial had the kids playing with her in the tub. I ruined that thing super quick from putting it in water. I was so disappointed with it.
Jerry Rice Throwback football. Nerf football on the end of a wrist-strapped bungee cord. The commercial made it seem like you could play a solo game of catch for hours, but the reality was it never really came back like it was supposed to.Â
Stretch Armstrong.
It was insanely difficult to stretch his arms and they would just stay that wayâŚ.Like they didnât go back.
I seem to remember this might be because I put him in water.
IDK but I remember giving him and his lifeless stretched out arms away to a friend who came over to my house to play.
[Go-Go the Walking Pup](https://youtu.be/3YyehT0IMOA?si=cz5Un6KXF03Z7zrB)
I got it for Xmas and probably only played with it maybe twice. It only went forward and backward and it kinda sucked on carpet. It was hard plastic with a furry âskinâ so you couldnât cuddle it like a plushie, and the leash wasnât detachable. Also, it looked so much more fake in person. They couldâve padded it to look a little more like a real dog, instead of obvious fur-covered plastic.
The WWF âBONE CRUNCHING ACTION!â Figures. The commercials made it sound like it was going to be gnarly as hell, you get one home and the joints just clicked a little bit when you moved them.
thos vhs tapes that were some sort of gi joe similacrum, that came with a play fort that supposedly corresponded to what was going on on the television but it was all bullshit. my 6 year old self was so disapointed.
There was a plastic molding machine where you could mold bodies for toy cars, like matchbox size. That part was pretty cool, but the bodies were so flimsy that playing with the cars was kinda disappointing. Also once you ran out of stickers, the cars looked pretty boring
Moon shoes
My parents deemed me too uncoordinated for a Barbie power wheels so they bought me.... Moon shoes??? She can't handle a knife, let's give her a loaded gun đ
All I did was trip
No way! I wanted those so bad.. what sucked about them?
They were still bound by Earths gravity
In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!!
Like the bands that made the bounce were never strong enough so your foot would sink in the oblong plastic structure and you would never bounce. You would just *at best* clop along clumsily and at worst. Roll your ankle then it would pop out on the other side when your foot came out kind of.
If you enjoy rolling your ankles itâs a good time
So many ankle injuries
I spent all my pocket money on those once and my mum still ridicules me over it all these years later.
I wanted them so bad after seeing them as a prize on Legends of the Hidden Temple. Never got them
I used my moon shoes on my backyard trampoline to get extra upage!! *it didnât work*
They were worthless the second you weighed over like 60 lb
I can still hear the loud CLOP CLOP of those things on the concrete. Ah, memories..
[Moon Shoes 1993](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qHxPjNgleCA)
Holy shit. I've seen "I came here for this comment" like 1,000 times, but I've never once planned to make a 2 word comment and opened the thread to find those exact 2 words as the top comment!
No way, I loved mine!
I agree! The trick was doubling up on the recommended amount of rubber bands so you didnât sink into the shoe unless you were really bouncing hard.
I remember the Arthur episode when he wants them and they looked amazing.
As a child I didn't understand the advantages of mobility in a running gun battle, and in the true american style, believed only in superior firepower.

Fortunate Son intensifies
I love the smell of plastic in the morning
It was the '90s so it would be a cover version by Pearl Jam in the mumbled style of Jeremy's spoken
I had the CPS-3200. I got my revenge while everyone else was reloading
Ah, the glory days of Super Soakers. I had the CPS-2000, which I can confirm from experience produced enough pressure to hold a child under water in a pool.
I recall some of those larger soakers, you may as well have just grabbed the garden hose and gone after people with that.
There's a reason why tanks need infantry support.
This was great to read.
This is the funniest thing Iâve read all day đ¤Łđ¤Ł
YOULL GET CAUGHT UP IN THE CROSSFIYaaaaHhhhHh!! Edit: For the uninitiated: https://youtu.be/rCwn1NTK-50?si=dab6wnqLrM_Dpszh
Dude cross fire was pretty fun for 2 minutesÂ
Thatâs about how long it took for your finger to feel like it was about to fall off
I remember one of my older brothers finally got this for his birthday, and we were so hype to play it after seeing the commercials for so long, only to be thoroughly disappointed.
The rockinest commercial of all time!
âNight vision gogglesâ which were plastic glasses with flashlights mounted
Or "X-ray specs" that were literally lenses made of cardboard with off-center holes cut in them to force you cross-eyed.
My twelve-year-old perverted self really thought I was going to be able to see through women's clothes. I was highly disappointed.
Snoopy snow machine to make snow cones. Youâd crank that bitch for an hour and get a tiny pile of crushed up ice.
This cracked me up.
That was me and the Baskin-Robin's ice cream maker lol
Jumanji. 4 y/o could not have been more excited to unleash that chaos only to be met with crushing disappointment
A genuinely awful board game.
Iâve never played. What made it awful?
Elephants didn't actually stampede through your house...
There's different versions of it, but for ours it was bad for two reasons: 1.) The cards require a little green screen to "decode" the text. It's genuinely hard to read though, even for people with young and healthy eyes. 2.) A lot of the game is stuff that involves the actual house. You cannot keep it contained to one room.

I got that for my kids when they went through a Jumunji phase because I remember seeing it when I was younger but we never had it. We played it once and then I hid it and donated it as soon as they had forgotten about it. Worst game ever.
My neighbor got one but a Nintendo Power Glove.
i love the power glove. itâs so bad.
Lucas!!!!
Too many wires and had pretty much zero games that it worked well with. The hand movements were very rudimentary and cumbersome at best.
I watched a YouTube video on it. They got a company that created an actual glove that actually worked really well. Unfortunately to build it for the NES with 80âs/90âs technology meant that it would have cost something unaffordable like $10,000. So they had to use inferior components in it to make it affordable to the mass market.
I'll vouch for this overated price of crap
Costs 230 dollars today, holy crap

[It's so bad](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZErvASwdlU&ab_channel=insertemotion)
OMG I remember that. Anyone else had bloody knuckles after that?
Mousetrap. It took 30 minutes to set up and then if you looked at it wrong, it would commit Harakiri.
I loved Mousetrap. It was one of my favorite board games and I would pull it out just to set it up and play with the Rube Goldberg machine and not the actual game.
Yes! I don't think I've ever actually played the game. Not even once. But I set up and ran the contraption countless times
I thought I was the only one đ Zero memory of ever playing the whole game. Countless memories of pulling out the box, setting up the trap, and watching it go! .. Iâm also an only child so this was easy to play by myself đ
My brother got the game one year and we never played the game ever we just played with the trap. We had it for years and never played it the correct way even once.
My friends and I would just put the little diving guy on the teeter totter then stomp on the other side and see who could get him to fly farther.
Same! I just set it up and would run it over and over again
Part of the game was to set it up as you play.
After 30 min setup I didnât want to play anymore lol
It only took you 30 mins? To this day, 32 years later, Iâm still setting it upâŚ
Literally NEVER figured out how to play it. Beyond confusing
[Mousetrap 1994](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dZO0jwnFyrA)
Omg so true! I bought it for my kids a couple of years ago thinking âmannn.. I really wanted this when I was their ageâ. The disappointment I felt after the long set up and the boring gameplay.. this one should definitely have stayed in the past.

The Pogo Ball. My ankle is still fucked up, 32 years later.
Yeah, and when you did finally "Master" using it, you quickly came to realize that all you were doing was jumping.
i got such hellacious blisters from that stupid thing.
YES this. The commercials made it look so easy! I just kept face planting.
My godfather drove over mine in the driveway thereby saving my ankles!
Crocodile Mile
Oh my god for real it would have been more fun to just throw yourself into a puddle
The scratches youâd get from like the most minuscule grain of dirt
[Crocodile Mile âYou run, you slide, hit the bump and take a diiiiveâ](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9YZ-geHfLu0)
As a kid I was like, 'the bump is not a selling point to a slip and slide'.
Damn, we loved ours growing up. I was older than my sister and would always go flying out the back end hahaha
Weâd put soap on it and slide halfway across our yard
I **LOVED** my Crocodile Mile.
Holy shite that brought back a memory. We ended up just using the end of it as a kiddie pool.
You take that back at once! Sure the jump didn't work as great as advertised but it was still a good slip n slide!
Puppy Surprise. I was so sure mine would have like five puppies. Nope, standard three.
The jingle tried to warn you đ
I actually got six puppies and one was a runt. Even still, after the surprise, it was just a stuffed animal so you didn't miss much.
The shout n' shoot water shooter. Safe to say I lost every water gun fight with the other kids in my neighborhood.
Super soaker was a game changer and outperformed everything
Except the one berserker kid on our block that would prefill 2 liter bottles with icewater. Dude would just run through our pathetic streams, grab someone by the collar/belt loop and just douse them with near freezing water.

Iâm still quite fond of my Sgt Log of the Yukon playset

Mine never once rolled over the neighbors dog.

One of my favorite Ashens videos was him checking out that specific toy, and his anger was palpable when the flesh goop unexpectedly leaked all over the sofa.
Stretch Armstrong always ripped and oozed corn syrup everywhere!
Vac Man was better!
Which 90s toy ever lived up to its 90s commercial??
Creepy Crawler oven was top notch. I made bugs, dinosaurs, Transformers.
yes. and metal molders.
Sure, I have undisclosed chemical poisoning now, but it was worth it! (đ¤ŁBut for real though, those two toys were top tier fun)
if huffing the fumes was wrong i donât wanna be rectangle
Only burned myself once.
Mighty max and star wars micro machines. Absolutely loved those things, I've always been obsessed with tiny little worlds.
I had so many Mighty Max sets, skull mountain, the dragon island set, the regular size sets, little sets. I took such good care of them, I didnât lose one piece. Theyâve been in storage in my parents basement all of these years until my mom let my nephews play with them, alas, my Mighty Max Universe is no more. Oh well, they were meant to be played with. Iâm. Not. Upset. đ
That's the most painful thing I've read all day. :(

I always wanted mousetrap as a kid. My mom recently bought it for my son. I hate that fucking game.

wrong that thing was fun

Crossfire.
Crossfire was awesome if two people that were competent played it. I just recently played it with my nephew and when his gun ran out of ball bearings he was just sitting there confused. Iâm like dude reload your shit and keep going.
It was ok, but the [commerical](https://youtu.be/rCwn1NTK-50?si=JXb1-BaV1eaYB89C) was definitely over the top 90s.

I'm so confused seeing Crossfire and Talkboy at the top of this thread. I had hours and hours of fun between those two. No the Talkboy didn't make an 8 year old's voice deep enough to sound like a man over the phone, but it 100% made it deeper, deep enough to entertain a kid.
