Sidepodcast Hangout - What would you bring back from the 90s?

Music and technology nostalgia are the talk of the town

Published 10 February 2013 by Christine Blachford

Microsoft have a rather good advert doing the rounds at the moment, and whilst it is for IE so we can discard it, it's also celebrating everything that was great about the 1990s. What with that, and my discovery of the ITV2 series The Big Reunion, in which six pop bands from that era get back together, I'm on a bit of a 90s kick at the moment. There was so much good stuff about in that decade, what would you bring back if you could?

Hello :)
There is so much amazing from the 90's I don't even know where to begin. The Crystal Maze is one thing I'd bring bacl but it MUST have Richard o;brian.
Steven Roy 10/02/2013 at 17:04:40
I would bring back Ferrari being hopeless and never winning.
Lukeh 10/02/2013 at 17:05:45
Also the Game Boy Colour. Best handheld ever.

Hi Will
Will^ 10/02/2013 at 17:11:57
I'd quite like to bring back the care-free attitude that I had, what with not having any proper responsibilities back in the 90s.
Lukeh 10/02/2013 at 17:11:58
Oooh, also, Noel's House Party. Put that on at 6, Doctor Who at 7, Saturday nights are sorted again.

surely not better than the green and black screen? i played tetris on that until my eyes fell out. then played it again.

Did you have those dreams that involved all those falling tetrominoes?

the game boy is an all out classic that can't be touched but I always found the colour more memorable. One of the first games i played on it on my birthday was F1 Racing Championship. It wasn'y very good though :)
Happy memories of the Zelda games though
Mr C 10/02/2013 at 17:15:57

Not as good as the Sinclair Spectrum game that only had Silverstone and because it did so few colours the tyres were red

it had about 8 colours. surely one of them was black?

Yes but the track had to be black

After that though there was an Amiga game with James Hunt's brother's face plastered all over it and it had adjustable wings. Serious stuff

what about music in the 90s? i can remember things like games and tv shows and trends like tamagotchis and pogs, but my music knowledge of the 90's is rubbish.
apart from saturday night by whigfield.

In the 90's I was finishing college and I liked that life. That would be a good thing to bring back. I'd enjoy it more while it happened rather than always wanting to get it over with.

You can't take a break after that one being such a success. Mr C told everyone Ringo was dead and Ringo didn't even comment that he was alive still.

Maybe he will turn up at the start of the week. At least you know you have a direct line to people you want to influence

It looks stunning, when snow isn't disturbed it can look amazing. Sadly it soon gets all muddy and icky, and lots of snow tends to bring lots of issues. Apart from that though... :)

Trash talk from the First Selectman in our little town:
"Unlike our neighbors, all of our roads had been plowed and were open on Saturday night. We are now widening them, pushing back snow bankings and clearing cul-de-sacs."
