I’m going to make a thread of pictures of all the things I had and/or found cool in my childhood. This is the first of many of these threads. This one right here was called a Diskman. It was my favourite gadget when I had it.

We used to call this a Tamagotchi (not sure about the spelling). It was a digital pet.

I think this might have been my very first TV gaming console. Alex Kidd was a really cool game.
I also once owned this one.
I actually still have this one. At Mama’s house.
I feel like this is probably still my favourite movie of all time. I once had it on Cassette. Unfortunately someone I went to high school with won’t return it.
I used to actually think these clothes were cool.
The arcade was such a great place to go to. It gave me so much peace. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😢" title="Weinendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Weinendes Gesicht">
I once had this too. I actually think this console is still around at Mama’s house.
Fridays wouldn’t have been Fridays without the Marinated Steak Pizza.
Remember?

I almost forgot Sim City.
This reminds me of when I first went to Quadrant Training as a very young person . What’s mind blowing is I ended working there. RIP Ntate Graham.
I am so grateful to my parents. When my parents took me shopping in Bloemfontein the apartheid laws still existed but my dad had diplomatic immunity and I had the privilege of not realising apartheid existed until I was told about it.
I should actually get another pair. But I remember one of those cool days at the middle school I went to and would bring our blades out to skate.
Back in the 90s there was a strange band from called Prodigy. I used to find their album artworks so cool. Their music was good too.
