We still talk about the Attitude Era and the Monday Night Wars with a certain warmness and joy. And in today’s wrestling fans, it especially shows. As much as I appreciate advances in technology and social issues - a part of me will always miss the 90s.Īs a society, we have been yearning for the nostalgic past for sometime now. Nu-metal, Gushers, cassette mix-tapes, the X-Files, and waiting for your time to jump on AOL on the family computer. Though most of us still preferred the immersive rental experience of Blockbuster Video or Hollywood Video.
Consumers still largely bought CDs (though Napster would soon change this), and Netflix offered subscription DVD rentals through the mail. MTV dominated popular culture, politics wasn’t remotely as divisive as it is now, and The New England Patriots had won zero Super Bowls at that point and time. President Clinton had (by 2000) left a $237 Billion surplus in a very good economy, with low inflation and a low unemployment rate. The United States was in a pre-9/11 state-of-mind. Or if you were a nerd like me with access to all of these: All of the above.įor adolescents and teenagers in the American culture, games like these bring back fond and nostalgic memories of a much simpler time. If you had a Playstation it might have been Smackdown! Just Bring It! Or perhaps it was Fire Pro Wrestling or Giant Gram 2000 on Dreamcast. The main event: WWF No Mercy on Nintendo 64. The entertainment: The Matrix or Fight Club on DVD. The menu: Copious amounts of Doritos, Mountain Dew, and Little Caesars. Thank you for all of your support throughout the years - CoolROM will continue strong.Fresh off a week at school, you and your mates prepare for a fire weekend. We feel we have reached this goal and helped cure more cases of nostalgia than we could have ever imagined. From the very beginning, our goal was to allow users to re-live classic moments from video games that they have lost and cannot purchase anymore. We are very grateful to have served the emulation community for so many years and to have CoolROM still exist today. This page has been removed due to a request from Nintendo of America Inc.
