    Right?! I think Banjo Kazooie is my favorite game of all time. However, I still haven't beaten it because the weird graveyard/ creepy level still freaks me out.

    Yeah, N64! I've still got mine as well. Gaming

    As for childhood obsessions, pretty much all the shows Rain Dash posted. Those were awesome! Only things I can add would be gaming, Invader Zim, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, and Animorphs.

    Those shows are all amazing!! I was obsessed with all of those, especially Are You Afraid of the Dark. That one episode in the dollhouse still freaks me out.

    Oh man; nostalgia time.
    Definitely going to have to agree with everyone saying the N64. My favorite games for it were James Bond Golden Eye, Donkey Kong Country and Super Mario.
    I was also really into Pokemon (Games, cards, and the tv show) and Yugioh.
    Comics. My friends and I used to make our own and had a "company". They mostly consisted of superheroes with bad hairdos and jokes with terrible punchlines.
    Music.
    Dragon Ball Z, Spongebob, Invader Zim, and Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy (Anyone remember when it was Grim and Evil instead?)

    Dude, Invader Zim was awesome! Same thing with animorphs. Did they make a movie or tv show about those books? I feel like they did at one point, but maybe it was just something similar.

    Edit: This is a bit off topic but... alright, 100 posts! That's way more than I've posted any other forum I've ever been on, so I'm psyched about this :D

    Playing the N64 All the Time, plus the PS1 (still own them, today). When pokemon came out, it was the most obsessed thing i had in my life. Still like pokemon, but only really the old gameboy games. For a While Digimon was the next big thing but didn't last long then i was kinda hoping for. Yu-gi-oh was all the rage and still kinda is, today. Bey Bladers ( Remember those?) was short lived but still great, even till today. Hot Wheels was the most awesomeness Toy i had, It was best toy for any kid to have. 90's Cartoon, man will always be the best. So much had gone into my childhood but i could go on forever but you can see what was really going on in my childhood..... Oh. Kids back then actually did stuff then they do today. like go outside and did stuff then kids today when their games and computers and Electronics. :p

    I was always an avid reader, even as a child, but I also had other obsessions.

    One was LEGOS! I loved those things! I used to build cities and ships and fun like that!

    The other was anything science. I was that one kid who got a chem set every Christmas. Once I got a small dissection kit, scalpel and all, one year and dissected turkey hearts at Thanksgiving and stuff like that!

    That's it!

    I too was a Lego fanatic. I loved the Bionicle series especially. The theme behind it was awesome, and I could build the most ridiculous stuff with the Technic pieces in general.

    Other stuff I was obsessed with, well, I was a lot more into Pokemon back then. I'm still a fan of the games, but back in the day I watched the anime and collected the cards and toys too. Oh, the days when Burger King gave away those Pokemon toys... I had at least two of every single one. XD

    My childhood Obsession was Pokemon and Final Fantasy, they still are to an extent. But Final Fantasy has become dead to me since X-2 and Pokemon is a game that is worth playing, but I only finish it once compare to me collecting the cards and finishing it several times when I was a kid.

    I honestly think ponies are too mature for me to have understood or appreciated as a kid.

    SEGA Channel.
    Pokemon when it was good.
    Gunstar Heroes (regarded as one of the best Genesis games of all time)

    The subject of Sonic pertains to everything for me. I watched both SatAM and Adventures (though I rarely caught SatAM). I was hooked on the games by none other than my mom, starting with Sonic 1 and Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. She was the only one who could kick my ass on that on a consistent basis. Later got Sonic 2, and my cousin had Sonic 3 & Knuckles (best Sonic game ever produced, btw. Better than SA1 and 2 combined).

    When I was like 14, my brother found Sonic and Knuckles plushies at a garage sale.

    I was literally obsessed with the GBA Fire Emblem Games, even though I was technically a teenager back then.
    Then my prayers were answered with a Gamecube game in the US. :omg:

    I know! I kind of liked Goosebumps as well, but the books were far superior to the TV show.

    I remember when the two were separated! I was kind of bummed that only General Scar made it into Grim Adventures.

    Oh yeah, I forgot about Freakazoid! and Animaniacs.
