When I Was a Kid in the 90's

Captain Planet and the Planeteers was an American animated environmentalist television program that aired from 1990-96. Plot: Gaia, the spirit of the Earth, is awakened from a long sleep by Hoggish Greedly. Realizing that the damage is extensive, Gaia sends five magic rings, four with the power to control an element of nature and one controlling the element of Heart, to five chosen youths across the globe: Kwame from Africa, Wheeler from North America, Linka from the Soviet Union (changed to Eastern Europe after the Soviet Union's collapse), Gi from Asia, and Ma-Ti from South America.

Their (plastic) rings came in cereal boxes----how exciting to get your own!

The Oregon Trail is a computer game originally developed by Don Rawitsch, Bill Heinemann, and Paul Dillenberger in 1971 and produced by the Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium (MECC) in 1974. The original game was designed to teach school children about the realities of 19th century pioneer life on the Oregon Trail.

In 1971 Don Rawitsch, a senior at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota, taught a history class as a student teacher.[1] He used HP Time-Shared BASIC running on an HP 2100 minicomputer to write a computer program to help teach the subject. The Oregon Trail debuted to Rawitsch's class on 3 December 1971. Despite bugs, the game was immediately popular, and he made it available to others on Minneapolis Public Schools' time-sharing service

Pogs were flat, circular, cardboard discs decorated with images on one or both sides that you collect and play the Pogs game with. They were reintroduced in the early 1990s by the World POG Federation and the Canada Games Company. The pog fad soared, peaking in the mid 1990s before rapidly fading out.

The name originates from POG, a brand of juice made from passionfruit, orange and guava; the use of the POG bottle caps to play the game pre-dated the game's commercialization. The game of pogs possibly originated in Hawaii in the 1920s or 1930s, or possibly much earlier as the Japanese card game Menko from the 17th century.

The Zone is a weekday afternoon programming block on the Canadian television channel YTV. It airs between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. ET in Canada. The block itself can be considered a show as it hosted by a personality formerly called a PJ (program jockey) that airs in the space between television shows, often in lieu of commercials. The Zone began its life as the Afterschool Zone on YTV in 1992, with its first host Phil Guerrero. Eventually, the PJs were joined by a variety of puppets named the Grogs, most famous of which, was Warren a mossy, turtle-like, cynical character.
