I graduated in 1983 so I was a kid of the 70’s and a teen in the 80’s. I went to the theater to see Jaws and Star Wars. I played with my Evil Knievel action figure and uno cards. It was an incredible time to grow up!!!!👍
I went off to college in 1975 armed with a Texas Instruments calculator and a Brother electric typewriter. The typewriter was state-of-the-art because it had auto-correct! I still have the calculator around the house somewhere and it still works.
Ok, I am not one of those audiophile folks --but having had this album on vinyl, cassette, and finally CD --I can tell your that the record sounded much sharper than the other two versions. If I recall, the CD version was AAD at the time --which meant that it was a simple digitial encoding of some of the analog source without any remastering done to it. Man the LP sounded so good with a good pair of over-the-ear headphones on your head. Remember the ones we used to plug into home stereos in the 1970s and '80s???? Yeah those things with incredible based and fidelity that weighed a ton hanging on top of your head.
@@aytviewer2421 I had a pair of Koss headphones that I held on to forever. The foam rubber under earcups started to turn into black goop but I still held onto them. Finally, I decided to toss the poor things after forty plus years of ownership. A few weeks later, I found the lifetime warranty card that came with the original purchase... :(
Yes, owned a one step, had Dark Side of the Moon on vinyl, had a 77 and a 78 Olds Cutlass! Most of the rest too! Thanks for the memories! Thanks again for everything you do!
I still have my Polaroid One Step camera. My Aunt Ruth had a Cutlass. There was a big Texas Instrument factory Northwest of Houston. My parent's had a working dust buster up to their deaths.
I bought a 68 olds 442 when I was in high school in Fairbanks Alaska, 1980. 12 year old car with a 400 big block and a aftermarket 4 speed , 1,100 dollars.
The good old days!! As a kid I remember wanting so many of these things. Did anyone else catch Richard Petty in the Uno picture?! One of the coolest NASCAR drivers ever!
Saw Richard race at Darlington around 1977or so. Nice memory, if a blustery, cold day. My mom, and some others who are gone now we're there...time can be a harsh mistress, can't it? 😔 Sigh.
Man what a trip down memory lane. I envied kids who had an Evel Knievel stunt cycle. Wish I had known "Santa" wasn't a mind reader, but if a guy knows when I've been good or bad all year you figure he knows what you want for Christmas. We didn't have a Cutlass but did have a 1976 Buick Skylark which shared the same body as the Cutlass. I had one of the Texas Instruments digital watches, you had to push a button on the side for the led's to light up otherwise the face was blank. It would be 1981 before I got the Sears Telegames version of the Atari 2600.
When I saw the first kid at my school walking around holding his stormtrooper action figure, I needed to have one of my own--a need down deep in my 6-year-old bones. In my eyes then, he was the luckiest kid in the world, and he was holding a treasure unimagined before that time. Thanks for the memories.
The Polaroid one step and Evel Knievel were both Christmas presents. Wow. Me and my brother had all this stuff in the video. Crazy. Sometimes you think the best times of your life we’re back then. Thanks for the memories. Excellent video!
I got a Kodak instant camera. It faced legal action, my parents took the camera, I don't think I ever saw any settlement. Might have said the gift was thrown away for that matter, I know my grandmother spent good money for most my gifts.
My Dad had the 1970 Pontiac Grand Prix in gold metallic. It had the longest hood in the industry at the time. Talk about a luxury cruiser. They are getting very collectable now.
Good old Evel Knievel, the original daredevil. I remember the hype surrounding his Snake River Canyon jump. Everybody figured he pulled the chute early. He claims it went off on its own. He was a bit of a carney but he could get peoples attention. Oldsmobile made some awesome cars back in the day. My brother has a 1970 Cutlass Convertible. He has to put a bit of work into it to keep it on the road but it's still going strong. I had a 72 Delta 88, my good old delta-boat. I'll never forget the day the float on the carburetor got stuck and the thing caught on fire. I had to use my down jacket to put it out and when I pushed it into the gas station across the street the mechanic looked under the hood and asked me if I hit a duck. Still, she was a good ship. And Uno was always a fun way to spend some time when you didn't have enough cash to go anywhere.
I live in Idaho and remember it well. Have you ever seen the Snake River Canyon in person? That guy had to have been brave beyond belief to try it. It seems to be a mile deep but it really isn't but is looks like it.
I had some of his toys and watched his successes and crashes in the 70s growing up in SoCal. Met him at a Harley Davidson grand opening in Spokane Washington in the early 2000s and got a couple of autographed bobbleheads to add to my collections. He was sober too.
I was a Child of the 70s into the 80s, I had and still have my Little Professor Calculator😃😃👌👌👍👍!!

How many remember getting the Sears catalog so you could tell Santa what you wanted for Christmas?! And then thinking later that you must have been really bad, because Santa didn't bring most of it! 😀
I had one of those black watches with red led digital readout. I remember sitting in the theater watching Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back and checking the time...it was cool. I was 11 years old. Still have my original Atari 2600.
Growing up Mama used to tell me: "Whatever you do.....DON'T HAVE KIDS!" That I could control. Then she used to say: "Whatever you do.....DON'T GET OLD !" That was out of my control as hard as I tried.
my grandparents had the poloroid camera in the early 70's, and i remember at christmas they would take the photo then fan the film back and forth for 5 minutes for it to 'develop' , by the next christmas the picture was pretty faded tho
We had an Odyssey game console, 3 games to choose from! I remember the first 4 function calculators and digital watches. Both retailed for about $70. Later, you could get a watch in a box of cereal...
I had a Polaroid camera in the 1970s, but mine was a "Square Shooter II" It used the "Pack Film" that was Pre SX-70, The "One Step" used "SX-70" film packs. I STILL had to PEEL my prints, even as late as 1979, LOL! Those LUCKY kids with their SX-70 fil packs DON'T KNOW THE STRUGGLES, LOL!
Like this video (it's hard not to like any of the R Rs)but I played Crazy Eights before I ever heard of UNO, and when I finally realized what this 'invention' was, I became indignant that someone was makng money off a simple card game. Then, about ten years later, I learnt to use a TR 18 financial calculator rather well. Thanks again for posting!
I remember most of these. I loved Atari so much; it's always fun to see the old games and consoles. We had the Polaroid camera, too, and in the picture taken from that camera, the kid was on a Big Wheel, which I also had. I fell off that thing a lot doing turns and just going too fast, but it was so much fun. I'm so glad I grew up in the late 70s. A lot of great memories. Thanks for sharing this.
The Poleroid camera came out when I was in basic training. Everyone ran to the PX to get one. We all thought $40 was a lot of money back then, on a probate’s paybit definitely was. But it was a great way to get gast pics of your friends especially since basic was almost at an end. Now they go for 5X that amount. If I was reluctant to pay the $40, I refuse to pay &198!!
I remember so many of these things. Polaroid cameras; as kids we got them for birthdays and Christmas. I remember having the early ones that had the plug-in disposable flash on the top, and later ones with built-in flash. In the early 90's I had a '75 Cutlass 2 door coupe. I also remember playing Uno with my sister, and spending many hours playing Atari games with my friends. Our favorite was always Asteriods
@@incog99skd11 Yep, and on the early ones, the disposable flashes were another expense. If I remember correctly, they were only good for 10 pictures. Polariod had quite a profitable business there....
Evel Knievel crashed many, many times. He reportedly broke every bone in his body at least once. He was a great showman also. He wasn't the first daredevil though. I remember all those things mentioned in this video. Who knows, in the future some old guy will look back at this year fondly and remember how great it was to have $6 gas and a Potato as President.
I wish the cars were as unique, & pretty today as they were then. I’ve had since an adult 5 1970 Beetle Volkswagen”s sold my last one in 2014. Sure wish I would of kept it. Those are still my all time favorite cars.
I had a ‘76 cutlass supreme brougham. I loved the music. We had the camera calculator and pong. Mattel has the uno game. My father had a digital watch. My sister had the Atari gaming system and used it through the 80’s. She mastered every game. I also saw Star Wars when it came out.
My Mom had that very Polaroid camera and used it all the time. I had that Texas Instruments calculator as a kid and I used it a lot when I did my math homework. I also had the Evel Knievel action figure and ramp. There were actually two action figures, one with his white suit and one with his blue suit. I had them both. I didn't have the scramble van though.
Because of the TI-30 scientific slide rule calculator, I was in the first generation of engineers that did not learn how to use an actual slide rule like they showed them using in the movie Apollo 13. I was the first electronic calculator generation of engineers!! I still have my old TI-30 somewhere!
As a child of the 70s I remember my father, a computer engineer, had the Texas Instruments calculator and loved it because it replaced his slide rule and my sister who was in high school at the time had Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon on vinyl and I had the Stars Wars figures and toys....I even had a metal Star Wars lunch box with matching thermos. Should've kept that!
I remember my brother and I doing a 3...2...1... go! countdown and tearing a box open that had both our names on it, Christmas 1978 and the subsequent peals of laughter and celebration as we realized it was an Atari 2600! One of my fondest childhood memories.
I remember every one.My Dad bought one of the Texas Instruments digital watches.My brothers had the Star Wars action figures.Me a forever Star Trek geek had a Spock action figure my mom bought at a yard sale for.50.
The only two things on this list that we had was UNO mainly because we spent a ton of time in the country during summer break where we had no electricity. We had to have things to do at night and when it rained. We had UNO, Yahtzee and Boggle. The other was the Dustbuster because well,,,,,,,why would we have anything fun in the house other than something to clean the house and do our chores. I was in charge of cleaning the bathrooms in the house so one year I got a new toilet bowl brush for Christmas. I am not even kidding.
We used to play "Adventure" under TSO, time sharing option, on the IBM mainframe in the 1980s. Management wasn't too happy about it but they didn't prevent it. It wasn't until much later that games, entertainment and shopping were blocked using sophisticated software. I bet I can still find adventure playable on the PC. That would be so fun.
I definitely had a TI-30 calculator, an LED digital watch and UNO. But we had a Magnavox Odyssey game console (with 2 controllers and 3 B&W games on it). I contributed several times to the Dark Side of the Moon sales with 8-track, cassette, album, and CD versions over the years. But never had any Evil Knievel or Star Wars action figures... Brought back lots of memories. I bought a Polaroid camera in the mid 80s for travel photos but hated their small smeary images. I soon bought a Nikon SLR.
Ha seeing the Texas Instruments digital watch brought back memories. My Dads 1st cousin worked for TI and I got one of those watches way before they ever hit the market. Think is was for my birthday was when I got it.

I had one of those black watches with red led digital readout. I remember sitting in the theater watching Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back and checking the time...it was cool. I was 11 years old. Still have my original Atari 2600.
GOOD VIDEO,WORKED RETAIL DURING THIS TIME SO I HAD MOST OF THESE ITEMS.STILL HAVE THE STAR WARS FIGURES . TAKE CARE
Growing up Mama used to tell me:
"Whatever you do.....DON'T HAVE KIDS!"
That I could control.
Then she used to say: "Whatever you do.....DON'T GET OLD !"
That was out of my control as hard as I tried.
And here, too.
my grandparents had the poloroid camera in the early 70's, and i remember at christmas they would take the photo then fan the film back and forth for 5 minutes for it to 'develop' , by the next christmas the picture was pretty faded tho
Love your channel, great memories, thanks.
I remember my cousin having a digital watch, You would push a button and it would light up the time. I was fascinated with it.
When you jiggle or swirl one in almost dark room up close the red digits move like thir movement is delayed from the watch moving .
We had an Odyssey game console, 3 games to choose from! I remember the first 4 function calculators and digital watches. Both retailed for about $70. Later, you could get a watch in a box of cereal...
What great memories, and great times!
We had Pong. I think my father had just as much fun playing it as we kids did.
I had a Polaroid camera in the 1970s, but mine was a "Square Shooter II" It used the "Pack Film" that was Pre SX-70, The "One Step" used "SX-70" film packs. I STILL had to PEEL my prints, even as late as 1979, LOL! Those LUCKY kids with their SX-70 fil packs DON'T KNOW THE STRUGGLES, LOL!
That Evel Knievel toy was awesome. It was heave and solid metal. If you really cranked it you could easily take some ankles out.
A walk down memory lane thank you!
Like this video (it's hard not to like any of the R Rs)but I played Crazy Eights before I ever heard of UNO, and when I finally realized what this 'invention' was, I became indignant that someone was makng money off a simple card game. Then, about ten years later, I learnt to use a TR 18 financial calculator rather well. Thanks again for posting!
I remember most of these. I loved Atari so much; it's always fun to see the old games and consoles. We had the Polaroid camera, too, and in the picture taken from that camera, the kid was on a Big Wheel, which I also had. I fell off that thing a lot doing turns and just going too fast, but it was so much fun. I'm so glad I grew up in the late 70s. A lot of great memories. Thanks for sharing this.
I still have a TI-30 calculator, along with its vinyl zipper pouch! Still sorta works, although some of the contacts are glitchy.
The Poleroid camera came out when I was in basic training. Everyone ran to the PX to get one. We all thought $40 was a lot of money back then, on a probate’s paybit definitely was. But it was a great way to get gast pics of your friends especially since basic was almost at an end. Now they go for 5X that amount. If I was reluctant to pay the $40, I refuse to pay &198!!
I remember so many of these things. Polaroid cameras; as kids we got them for birthdays and Christmas. I remember having the early ones that had the plug-in disposable flash on the top, and later ones with built-in flash. In the early 90's I had a '75 Cutlass 2 door coupe. I also remember playing Uno with my sister, and spending many hours playing Atari games with my friends. Our favorite was always Asteriods
Yes, the cameras were relatively cheap compared to the SX70 line but OMG the film was pricey which was the limiting factor.
@@incog99skd11 Yep, and on the early ones, the disposable flashes were another expense. If I remember correctly, they were only good for 10 pictures. Polariod had quite a profitable business there....
Nice
Dark Side of the Moon is still my all time fav album. I am 63.
I had the Knievel toy & it was awesome. Great times! Seems like yesterday.
Off how 50 years ago, and yesterday v an dem like the same thing isn't bit?🤔
@@starmnsixty1209 huh? 🤔
Evel Knievel crashed many, many times. He reportedly broke every bone in his body at least once. He was a great showman also. He wasn't the first daredevil though. I remember all those things mentioned in this video. Who knows, in the future some old guy will look back at this year fondly and remember how great it was to have $6 gas and a Potato as President.
True enough about Evel, and 😊 on the potatoe.
Thanks for confirming that the 70s were the best time on earth to grow up!
I grew up with all of this. Wow I feel old.
I had the Evil Kenevil thing back in the 70s. I was so fascinated with the way the motorcycle ran off the launcher.
The Kodak Instamatic was also a very popular point and shoot camera in the 70’s.
I wish the cars were as unique, & pretty today as they were then. I’ve had since an adult 5 1970 Beetle Volkswagen”s sold my last one in 2014. Sure wish I would of kept it. Those are still my all time favorite cars.
I had a ‘76 cutlass supreme brougham. I loved the music. We had the camera calculator and pong. Mattel has the uno game. My father had a digital watch. My sister had the Atari gaming system and used it through the 80’s. She mastered every game. I also saw Star Wars when it came out.
My Mom had that very Polaroid camera and used it all the time. I had that Texas Instruments calculator as a kid and I used it a lot when I did my math homework. I also had the Evel Knievel action figure and ramp. There were actually two action figures, one with his white suit and one with his blue suit. I had them both. I didn't have the scramble van though.
Because of the TI-30 scientific slide rule calculator, I was in the first generation of engineers that did not learn how to use an actual slide rule like they showed them using in the movie Apollo 13.
I was the first electronic calculator generation of engineers!!
I still have my old TI-30 somewhere!
As a child of the 70s I remember my father, a computer engineer, had the Texas Instruments calculator and loved it because it replaced his slide rule and my sister who was in high school at the time had Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon on vinyl and I had the Stars Wars figures and toys....I even had a metal Star Wars lunch box with matching thermos. Should've kept that!
I had an Evil Knievel stunt cycle as a kid. As well as a Timex digital watch with red digits.
I remember my brother and I doing a 3...2...1... go! countdown and tearing a box open that had both our names on it, Christmas 1978 and the subsequent peals of laughter and celebration as we realized it was an Atari 2600! One of my fondest childhood memories.
In 1977 I went off to college with 1 of those digital watches & that calculator. Seems like another world now.
I remember every one.My Dad bought one of the Texas Instruments digital watches.My brothers had the Star Wars action figures.Me a forever Star Trek geek had a Spock action figure my mom bought at a yard sale for.50.
👍
I listened to Dark Side of the Moon on the way to fishing this morning.
I still have mine Evil Knievel motorcycle and my grandkids play with it!
Thank you so much Recollection Road for uploading this great video, I appreciate it!
The only two things on this list that we had was UNO mainly because we spent a ton of time in the country during summer break where we had no electricity. We had to have things to do at night and when it rained. We had UNO, Yahtzee and Boggle. The other was the Dustbuster because well,,,,,,,why would we have anything fun in the house other than something to clean the house and do our chores. I was in charge of cleaning the bathrooms in the house so one year I got a new toilet bowl brush for Christmas. I am not even kidding.
Nice Christmas gift - HA!!!😆
Damn. 😂😝😬😝😂
We used to play "Adventure" under TSO, time sharing option, on the IBM mainframe in the 1980s. Management wasn't too happy about it but they didn't prevent it. It wasn't until much later that games, entertainment and shopping were blocked using sophisticated software. I bet I can still find adventure playable on the PC. That would be so fun.
I definitely had a TI-30 calculator, an LED digital watch and UNO. But we had a Magnavox Odyssey game console (with 2 controllers and 3 B&W games on it). I contributed several times to the Dark Side of the Moon sales with 8-track, cassette, album, and CD versions over the years. But never had any Evil Knievel or Star Wars action figures... Brought back lots of memories. I bought a Polaroid camera in the mid 80s for travel photos but hated their small smeary images. I soon bought a Nikon SLR.
I remember having the evil Knievel toy as a kid. I kind of wish I still had it.
What! No Air Pop popcorn machine?
I still have my Evel Knievel stunt cycle, launcher, action figure, van and trailer.
Ahh the Polaroid.. helping dad keep the Corvette in the divorce :)
My 1984 Cutlass Supreme was and is still my favorite car that I have ever owned.
Ha seeing the Texas Instruments digital watch brought back memories. My Dads 1st cousin worked for TI and I got one of those watches way before they ever hit the market. Think is was for my birthday was when I got it.
Nostalgic 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🎃🎃🎃🎀🎀🎀🌼🌼🌟🌟😍😍😍😍😜😜😜🤗
