The Nostalgia Thread

[Dr. Peach]

This startup sound is also very nostalgic for me. It is my nostalgia after all.

Pepper Ann

when my grandma was alive, she'd record me assorted cartoons off of disney or boomerang, and holy shit the memories

i legit thought this was a german/swiss/whatever production because of well you know.

Also they showed it on the tv channel where you least expect anime, the public broadcasting network.

Here is another thing from my nostalgia.

This was my first game I actually played (not counting that educational shit). It was on those old Windows 98 PCs of mine.

Ok, so some noteworthy shows of my childhood

(Ok, but I still enjoy sailor moon, but back then I watched it dubbed and I watched it subbed a couple of years ago and still loved it, crystal sucks tho)

(ok, but I still watch strictly to this day as I have watched it right since series 1 and haven't stopped)
There are probably others but those are the ones i can remember rn and there is a mixed bag as i was into a mixed bag when i was younger

The Gamecube menu ambiance scared the *bleep* out of me

PS2 was worse.
System is on. Now here's a gaping void with echoing windy sounds bellowing out of it while you put your game disk in.

Didn't the Xbox have some weird things happen when you left it on the menu too long?

What the heck was that generation of gaming consoles hoping to achieve by making their owners extremely uncomfortable

Yep.

Just each system attempting to be as next gen as it could.

Like undyne would say.

It's been a very, very long time since I last heard the Windows XP theme.

 

[Walkazo]

My work computer still runs Windows XP.

 

[banjonator1]

Windows XP had extremely entertaining screensavers

 

[Ghost Jam]

And a tutorial system with a 3D animated and fully voiced Einstein character who'd guide you around your desktop.

distorted clips of NASA transmissions, yup.

My work computer still runs Windows XP.

Wow, they must be ancient. But at least they can run those old edutainment games (related to this thread too).

Nothing beats the trippy maze with the lego globe thing and that brown rat thing which I thought was a dog when I was little (edit) and that gray rock thing that turns you upside down.

Oh, also, remember this?
