The '80s and '90s were genuinely memorable times to live in. It may be hard to accept or believe, but there used to be a time when children were entertained by things other than Netflix, YouTube, and the likes.

If you were a kid back then, you likely had some truly cool nostalgic toys that you used to want to play with all the time. They were attractive, and when you persuaded your folks to get them, you could play with them for quite a long time without getting exhausted.

As simple and easy as they were, I consider them to be some of the best toys ever created in those days, and I wish I still had some of my old toys just to make sure I could see them any time I wanted!
