Bogus, grody, like totally...If any of these strike a chord with you, then these toys will take you back to a time when you took everything to the max, or else you were wiggin’. Whether you were spending hours in front of your TV with Super Mario Bros., having your friends over to watch the newest episode of ALF or simply chugging gallons of Tab to cool down from dancing your heart out in your jellies to Whitney Houston and Paula Abdul, these toys were most likely hanging out in the background.

Rubik’s Cube Game

For once the smart kid reigned supreme with the Rubik’s Cube. Separating the herd, this game and its rainbow square of perpetual frustration for the average bear, allowed for those glorious moments of superiority in school. Twisting and turning this square into submission was the reason many of us lost full days in our youth. Total bummer, right? What makes those wasted days even more of a bummer is that people like Mats Valk have solved it in 5.55 seconds. Talking about harshing your smart vibe! Well done anyway, Mats.
