Current Events > Do you still own anything from your childhood?

(+) Yeah! (+)

My ass

Losing more and more over the years. I think the oldest thing I have now is my n64 in my closet somewhere

All my video games except for the SNES games that I stupidly traded away when I was a kid.

I also have an old Universal Monsters Dracula figure, The only surviving figure from the set I let one of my ex-friends borrow, and his dog chewed up.

NES/games and my undying virginity

The only thing that I have in my possession from childhood is a little reindeer doll, fits in the palm of my hand. I got this thing at the age of 6 from Ala Moana shopping center.

My dad kicked me out of the house at 19, besides my clothes the only thing I was able to bring with me was a handful of CDs which I bought as a teenager. My brother left the house about 2-3 years prior. Apparently everything from my childhood years, including NES, SNES, Sega Genesis and a whole bunch of awesome toys and stuff, boxes of comics were thrown out. I don't know the full details, not sure if my dad actually put everything in garbage bags and had it thrown out, or if he donated it. Even keepsakes of my first girlfriend are gone. Same goes for my brother.

But one day when my brother visited me, he gave me the little reindeer doll from long ago. Apparently my mom saw it- she probably had more memories about the doll than I had, and she took it and kept it before my dad threw everything out. And when my dad finally died (I did the math, he had me when he was 48 years old, so yeah he was old already when he kicked me out) and my brother went back home for whatever reason, my mom gave him my doll to give back to me.

So that is the only thing I have that survived my childhood.

wait, i do have an old PS2 here somewhere. the original fat one
already sold/gave away all the games though

I guess just to double back. It was nice to read what some people kept. But I have a bunch of Peanuts/Charlie Brown books. One made me tear up because I forgot my mom and dad wrote a personal message in one.

Other than some stuffed animals, it's mostly just some old videogamea or board games. When I moved I wanted to throw mostly everything away. ( which I did more than some ppl but eh).

I have those too(the peanut books). Thing is I dont know where they are. I left them here at my dads house when I left home 30 years ago. I know that they might be on the shelf but since my dad used my room as storage in the intervening years. I can't get to them. I liked them too. It's one of the baseball ones. When you get baseball you get lots of Lucy and Peppermint Patty. PP was one of my favorite characters

Most of my video games and books. I think my dresser is from my childhood, can't remember for certain. Maybe my CRT TV? I know I took one with me when I moved out of my parents house, but I can't remember if it was that one, or if I gave that back to my parents at some point, and got a different one from a former roommate. Oh, and my old watch is somewhere in my closet. It was just a cheap one, and the band has long since been broken off, and the battery long since dead, but it has too much sentimental value for me to actually get rid of it.

I have some stuffed animals, including an Alf and a Fievel. I also have a petrified/preserved Gingerbread Bear shaped Christmas tree ornament I made in 1987 at school.

I'm pretty sure the oldest thing I have from my childhood is Back to the Future on NES:

I get why it's considered an infamously bad game but I still enjoy it. I'm sure that's just because it was one of the few games I had as a kid and I played the hell out of it.

Yup, the old Magic the Gathering cards I had from waaaaay back.

Pretty good bit. Mostly video games since I make a point of hanging in to those in case I want to play them again. But also a handful of toys that my boys now play with and a few more that I decided to hang onto because they're cool or collectable.

My mom never gets rid of anything (she's legit got signs of hoarding), so there's probably even more of it over at her house if I dared to go check the basement.

Now the song is in my head.

Nintendo nes, sega genesis. Childhood clothes for some reason.

Yeah. Most of it is video game related. I still have the SNES with it's pack in 2 controllers and super mario world my dad got for me like 2 weeks after the SNES launched in the states in August 1991.

The NES was my older brother's but I still asked for NES games over the years. I got super mario bros 3 for Christmas in 1990.

I was 7 in 90 and 8 when I got my SNES.

While I don't have my christmas 1989 gameboy anymore (I took it to school and left my bookbag unattended in gym when I was a highschool freshman. It got stolen. The gameboy color had just came out not too long ago so I had just bought this to replace it) I do still have the first 2 gameboy games I ever owned...the pack-in tetris and fist of the north star.

Bad games can have catchy songs. Hehehehe (In response to Back to the Future on the NES). I have other old random shit, but still I said a thing I kept. I suppose another is just I have a small Garfield ruler for no reason. I must have been in Middle School like how tf did this make it here.

I had to downsize some of my collections (plushies, movies, books, toys, drawings, etc) when I moved out but I still have most of it. My Lego and Hot Wheels collections are all there, as well as most of my games/game consoles, the bed and the dresser from my old room.

I still have this camel

Absolutely adored it as a child and I can't let it go

I don't blame you, it's adorable.

I own a yellow, floppy stuffed bear that was legitimately the first thing ever given to me on this earth. That's it.

I have a lot of relics from my childhood. Most notably some of my old video game consoles and games; as well as scarves, blankets, and hats my grandmother crotchetd for me as a child. Still have the big petrified wood piece that we found together when I was young. Its been my doorstop for decades.

Still have my first dogs baby canine tooth around here somewhere as well.

The BttF NES theme is catchy because it's just a sped up 8-bit rendition of Power of Love. When you get to the school dance the game has a sped up 8-bit version of Johnny B. Goode.

Way too much stuff to list. I really hate getting rid of stuff.

I have a confirmation gift from my grandparents.

I have old Gameboy games still. I also have this Radiata Stories poster from the PS2 days.

Which for me I was 19-20 in 93-94 so past childhood. Still have them. We had this huge DND group at a friends house. 12 people at least. Magic was so new that lotus was freely used back then. My friend had one. I came in with ice age and that mainline game edition around that time. Revised or 4th. Can't remember.
