Used to play the crap out of mortal kombat at the arcades. NBA Jam also.

If you have xbox live, they released a new version of NBA Jam that you can download. Me and my roomates have been playing it like crazy for the last two weeks.

You need atleast a silver account for xbox live which is free. It probably costs like 5 bucks from the marketplace but it's totally worth it.

Watched professional wrestling and enjoyed it. There aren't any Hogans, Macho Mans, Ultimate Warriors, or Jake the Snakes anymore.

Along same lines, making mix tapes and hooking up 2 VCRs to copy movies.

Going to Blockbuster or a movie rental shop to rent a movie

Learned how to do math by hand and show all my work because the teacher told me "you won't always have a calculator with you."

Have bar/party debates over something trival that go on for hours because no one actually knew the right answer and could prove it.

I'll take this one a step further. Parents had a cd player with double cassette player. I would make mix tapes from my cd collection! Used them at school during physical training class. Throwing iron with my bros, listening to a cassette tape, with music ripped from a cd! :mind blow:

Going inside to pay for gas

I'll take this 1 step further. Digging through/under the seats of your cars to look for change and lose bills to pay for your gas when you got inside. Now if you did this you would find enough change to get maybe a gallon. 13 years ago this would have gotten me 3 gallons and lasted 4 days in my small pickup.

unless that particular station would take your check

Writing checks should be added to this list as well as cashing a check to get cash

Signed my mom's or dad's name to a counter check to buy something.
(I am not even that old, it was just a small town and every business had counter checks from the local banks.)
