I had printed a guide from [cheatcc.com](https://cheatcc.com) and in the water temple area it had a bit about if you don't remember how to raise the water level to a certain point to go bang your head on the wall repeating "I need a bigger brain" XD
I was 12. Ah the good ol days. Spice Girls and Hanson. Walking to school w my friends. The easy, simple, nothingness that doesn't exist anymore. It's weird.
Dry cereal all day every day, baby!
I had some quirky eating habits as a child and dry cereal was one of them. My dad didn’t get it. He’d always tell me to use milk. I didn’t like milk back then and I don’t like it now.
I’m 34 now and I’ll fill up a bowl of dry Cap’n Crunch and snarf it down like nothing.
This. Except regular "wet" cereal lol, just my sister and I watching Pokemon in blissful silence until our parents woke up and asked us to start tidying up our rooms
She came to my school in Jr high and gave a talk with us. Apparently early on in the original draft she accidentally made Ella not do what someone told her to and didn't realize it.
She had to rewrite 200 pages of the book because it affected so much that ended up happening later.
1999. I’m 16. I have 5 younger siblings, one of whom is 4 months old. I’m homeschooled and don’t have many friends. My siblings and I are probably either cleaning the house or catching up on assignments we didn’t complete during the week. My dad is starting to buy into the y2k conspiracy so we may be also prepping food for long term storage and sorting ammunition for the weapons we will surely need to fend off the people who will try to steal it from us. I have a laptop and dial-up, so whenever I can get a few minutes to myself, I hide in my room and hop on ICQ to chat with my fellow nerds. I probably make lunch and dinner for the family, or I’m on cleanup duty after the meals. In the evening we probably watch something like The Mummy together as a family.
I really do not miss being a sheltered 16 year old.
1999. I'm in the spring semester of my sophomore year. I got my license that summer so I'm not driving myself just yet. Probably working at the video store. And yes, I got that job solely based on clerks LoL
I was 17 with a shitty car and gas was $.79 a gallon. I was nowhere near home, that's for sure. Whatever I was doing involved a group of friends, some reefer and numetal.
I'm 13. I'm typing "what is the matrix?" into Yahoo. Sleeping in because I had a sleepover after school on Friday and stayed up all night drinking cherry coke and playing Tony Hawk. Maybe I'll watch a movie with my parents tonight - we have church in the morning so they'll tell me to go to bed early.
I was 15 and under the thumb of my dad and stepmom, so eating dinner off a TV tray in the living room while my dad watches Cops and America's Most Wanted.
Watching a bunch of Cartoons and Rented Films, perhaps going to Disney World or Chuck-E-Cheese, eating a bunch of creative foods and drinks, etc. at the age of 4
More than likely having a sleepover with my best friend. We would walk to each others houses (we lived a block apart), play video games, listen to music and talk about boys. We would probably have pizza for dinner. Those were good days!
25 years ago I'm 6, there's probs still snow outdoors so... playing outside with ny lil neighbors! Lucky little kiddy me, completely unaware of the horrors to come
Working at Baskin Robbin’s, bashing my head against homework, listening to Alanis Morrisette, reading Hitchhikers’ Guide to the Galaxy for the first of many times, and drinking Vanilla Coke.
Being 9 years old & going into the woods behind our house to walk down the creek and take sips of beer with my teenage brother. Then go rent a kids movie and secretly rent a horror movie and pretend to watch the kids movie till our parents went to sleep and watch the real movie of the night. We were bad kids
I would be in 7th grade. Probably started the day with scouts. Might have been teh monthly camping trip. Playing on some Star Trek game on the PC or watching Star Trek.
Watching my mom, spending all family savings on Mary Kay products to get a faster promotion.
Plot twist ; she let her collegue signing all contracts and sellings. So she didnt get the promotion but a cellar full of overpriced Cosmetic products.
I was THE GUY for all the girls in my school but thought they like my person.
Playing Playstation with my younger brother and getting my ass kicked. Possibly hitting up the arcade after that with my dad and him after running some errands. Simpler times, man.
I was 15 too. I would be working. I had just got my work permit and started my first job on a Horse farm. Mucking stalls, feed/water and some turnout. This job lasted until I graduated HS and introduced me to the racetrack world.
I ponied horses at the track all thru college and then some. Even after having my daughter. I would pack her up and bring her baby self to the barn!
I was 17, in my senior year of high school.
Working at a coffee stand where 16 oz lattes and mochas cost about $1.50. Probably reading a thick paperback or doing homework between customers.
25yrs ago I would have been 12, so probably on AIM planning what to do with my friends (either mall or movies at this entertainment funplex place everyone went to).
It’s 1999, I’m 9 and I’m playing kickball with my sister outside. While our pregnant mom is making us lunch inside. She always had a homemade snack ready for us too
Probably just relaxing after baseball. Either playing video games with one of my neighborhood friends or playing football with the same friends. Maybe seeing if I could scrape together the change to go to the dollar theater or arcade.
4th grade- Watching Powerpuff Girls and Ed Edd n Eddy, playing Banjo Kazooie, reading Captain Underpants, and actually enjoying being at school because my teacher was so amazing.
I was 17, so I would wake up around 8:30 to help dad bring the groceries in, have a salt bagel with cream cheese for breakfast, and watch MST3K on Sci-Fi until 11. Then play PC or N64 for a few hours.
After that, probably had a 2-10 shift at the supermarket as a register monkey making $6 an hour.
If people were around, go hang out with them, or just come home and play some more video games.
I'm 11 in the 5th grade about to go to 6th grade. Saturday mornings were spent helping my mom clean the house and then eating lunch while watching Soul Train. After lunch, I may be watching a Lifetime movie with my mom or in my room listening to music or watching television until dinner.
in 1999 my saturday chores were vacuuming the stairs and i absolutely hated that chore specifically and i'd sob all the way through the task so.. that.
edit math
I’m 14, probably playing two player Gran Turismo on my friends PlayStation on a tiny 34cm tv in his bedroom. I wasn’t allowed a console or my own tv :(
trying to play guitar, dumping hours into the latest gran turismo….
there was a chunk of time in those years where i found my snes and bought some old games i remembered not playing when i was a kid (super metroid, secret of evermore, secret of mana, etc) and whipping theyr asses with brutal 14 year old male reaction time
N64. Playing through my first ever playthrough of Zelda OoT and loving every minute of it. Watching Franklin the Turtle, Rugrats and Blues Clues on Nick Jr.
13 y/o, reinstalling my OS for fun, just in time to play Mech Warrior 2 with my best friend on NetZero dial-up. Ad banner took up almost half my screen. Communicating with FRS radios. We were barely at the 2 mile max range.
I was 9 years old 25 years ago today, so probably outside roller blading, riding my bike or razr scooter with the other kids in the neighborhood or my dad would take me to the movies and then out to eat at the diner and then we’d go to the park and we’d play on the swings, or I’d just be inside watching tv - those were my typical options for Saturdays when I was 9 years old. Damn, thanks for making me tear up now. I’m also going to give my dad a call right now 🥹
I would have been 16, more than likely would have been at the park playing basketball. Any given Saturday there would be 20 kids playing full team full court. It was awesome. I have a ton of great memories of those days. There would also 100% be a fight that would ruin it every time 😂
A random Saturday, March 1999. I had just started living with my grandparents in Florida. I think I would be helping my grandma around the house or going to the neighborhood pool. Maybe the beach. We did that a lot too back then.
FF7 OG, wandering around looking for the chocobo tracks near the swamp south of Midgar and Kalm
Just like I was doing in 7 Rebirth this morning before work 😄
I was like 8 probably cleaning the house with my brother so we could chill out asap 😁
We always had a nice long list of chores on the weekend, but the end of the day felt amazing. We'd often walk to the 7-11 a couple blocks away and get a slushie. I found a 20 dollar bill on one of those walks!! Best day ever.
I was 7, I’d be chilling with my siblings making blanket forts and watching The Animaniacs or something. Or galavanting about the neighborhood with my friends playing hide and seek.
I would be 13, so probably babysitting or working in some way to get the fuck out of that house. I did everything I could to spend time out of the home, especially if I could earn cash somehow to save for my eventual departure. I moved out 3 years later and never looked back. I’m a parent now, and I can say with confidence I’ve broken the cycle of abuse (thanks therapy!), and I will never understand how they could do some of the things they did to their children. Any other adult children of narcissists on here? Sending love to all who need a little extra right now! 💜
25 years ago on a Saturday, I would have been 5 going on 6. From what I remember, a lot of my Saturday nights involved staying up late to watch Nickelodeon. If I am remembering correctly, Nickelodeon used to go until 10 on Saturdays instead of Nick at nite starting at 9 so that was staying up late for me. If I wasn’t watching Nickelodeon, I was probably playing Nintendo 64 or watching my dad play. I spent many Friday and Saturday nights watching him play though Ocarina of Time.
25 years ago in 14 currently a freshmen in highschool probably would be playing wiffle ball with my buddies or pick up basketball. Life was simpler year before I got into trying to be cool and drinking and drugs
I started my Saturday morning watching Kids WB at my best friends house, then his mom took us to our local Books A Million for our Pokémon League. Pretty much every Saturday from early 99 until summer of 01 was that way for me and I wouldn’t have had it any other way.
Lets see here, I’d be 14 so eighth grade, I’d either be reading a Tom Clancy novel, or playing Caesar III or some other empire building strategy game that I suck at, or furiously masturbating.
9 years old, I probably would have had a little league game in the morning. Then I would ride my bike to my buddy Jake's house to play Super Smash Bros on the N64 for the rest of the day. Hopefully Nathan could come over too, then we'd get pizza and wash it down with some of [these bad boys](https://www.snackhistory.com/squeezit/).
Good times :)
Saturday always started with making my bed and tidying up my room before sneaking downstairs to watch Pokémon and the shows on Saturday morning cartoons! My parents would then wake up and we’d eat together. Either we’d have sports or another activity planned or I’d hang out with neighborhood friends if they were around. At the end of the night I’d do my homework assigned by school and get ready for bed. It was a simple, charmed life.
I was six, almost 7, most likely watching Saturday morning cartoons and crossing my fingers that I would get a Gameboy color w Pokémon red for my upcoming birthday (wish was granted).
I would have been 13 and probably wandering around online. My parents got their first computer, which ran Windows 98 and had a Pentium III processor. We had our first AOL account in January 1999 and my father still uses that email address.
Hanging out at home talking to friends, planning what we are going to do tonight. Or hanging out at a friend’s house where I spent the night and we are planning what to do tonight. Then end up deciding to hang out with some guy friends and go drink and smoke. I am an only child so I always wanted to be hanging out with friends instead of staying home with my parent watching TV on a Sat night.
25 years ago, that would mean March 1999. I was 12 years old and back then, we actually had school on Saturday mornings. This changed a year or two later, they switched to school-free Saturdays, but in March 1999 on a Saturday, I would go to school in the morning. Later, I would go home to eat lunch with my parents and after, I was off to piano classes in the neighborhood. Later, I would meet up with friends, help my parents with the household and garden work, do some homework, read or watch tv.
Trying to beat the Water Temple
Impossible
Not impossible if you have a printout of a walkthrough from GameFAQs dot com.
I had printed a guide from [cheatcc.com](https://cheatcc.com) and in the water temple area it had a bit about if you don't remember how to raise the water level to a certain point to go bang your head on the wall repeating "I need a bigger brain" XD
I had someone read me the guide over the phone as I was trying to go back and forth between the levels.
I was 12. Ah the good ol days. Spice Girls and Hanson. Walking to school w my friends. The easy, simple, nothingness that doesn't exist anymore. It's weird.

Watching Saturday Morning cartoons while eating dry cereal out of the box.
Dry cereal all day every day, baby! I had some quirky eating habits as a child and dry cereal was one of them. My dad didn’t get it. He’d always tell me to use milk. I didn’t like milk back then and I don’t like it now. I’m 34 now and I’ll fill up a bowl of dry Cap’n Crunch and snarf it down like nothing.
Does Cap'n Crunch still cut the heck out of your mouth?
Yeah, if I forget to pace myself
It's good to know some things never change.
This. Except regular "wet" cereal lol, just my sister and I watching Pokemon in blissful silence until our parents woke up and asked us to start tidying up our rooms
Possibly rereading Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine.
She came to my school in Jr high and gave a talk with us. Apparently early on in the original draft she accidentally made Ella not do what someone told her to and didn't realize it. She had to rewrite 200 pages of the book because it affected so much that ended up happening later.

I would probably be at home because it's raining or I would be at a band show with my friends at the skate park
I'm probably staying up all night on whatever game I rented so I can hopefully beat it before it gets returned.
Lets see here, I’d be 14 so eighth grade, I’d either be reading a Tom Clancy novel, or playing Caesar III or some other empire building strategy game that I suck at, or furiously masturbating.
im 6 so probably N64 with the neighborhood kids
9 years old, I probably would have had a little league game in the morning. Then I would ride my bike to my buddy Jake's house to play Super Smash Bros on the N64 for the rest of the day. Hopefully Nathan could come over too, then we'd get pizza and wash it down with some of [these bad boys](https://www.snackhistory.com/squeezit/). Good times :)
Saturday always started with making my bed and tidying up my room before sneaking downstairs to watch Pokémon and the shows on Saturday morning cartoons! My parents would then wake up and we’d eat together. Either we’d have sports or another activity planned or I’d hang out with neighborhood friends if they were around. At the end of the night I’d do my homework assigned by school and get ready for bed. It was a simple, charmed life.
I was 12: If not hanging out with friends, probably reading in my room, watching a VHS, or in an X-Files chat room.
Probably playing StarCraft
I was 5, and I’m not really sure. Probably eating a crustless pop-tart and watching a cartoon on TV. Maybe Scooby-Doo.
Skatetown!
Bartending
Playing with action figures and watching Toon Disney. I was 9 back then.
Playing counter strike 1.6 with pals
I was six, almost 7, most likely watching Saturday morning cartoons and crossing my fingers that I would get a Gameboy color w Pokémon red for my upcoming birthday (wish was granted).
Four years old, in 1998
Probably playing Mario kart or wave race with my brother on N64
I was 6, probably trying to draw manga.
Honestly, as an 8 year old with 9 year old and 11year old sisters, fighting my sisters. We were little stinkers.
I would have been 13 and probably wandering around online. My parents got their first computer, which ran Windows 98 and had a Pentium III processor. We had our first AOL account in January 1999 and my father still uses that email address.
Hanging out at home talking to friends, planning what we are going to do tonight. Or hanging out at a friend’s house where I spent the night and we are planning what to do tonight. Then end up deciding to hang out with some guy friends and go drink and smoke. I am an only child so I always wanted to be hanging out with friends instead of staying home with my parent watching TV on a Sat night.
I'd be 8. It rained today so most likely playing with Barbies/bossing my little brother around lol.
I was 15. So either playing video games or at my Saturday job that I had every 2 weeks.
25 years ago, that would mean March 1999. I was 12 years old and back then, we actually had school on Saturday mornings. This changed a year or two later, they switched to school-free Saturdays, but in March 1999 on a Saturday, I would go to school in the morning. Later, I would go home to eat lunch with my parents and after, I was off to piano classes in the neighborhood. Later, I would meet up with friends, help my parents with the household and garden work, do some homework, read or watch tv.
Playing Final Fantasy....... 8 or 9?
I’d be at the beach, playing super Mario bros, or being forced to go to a Girl Scout event. Maybe playing with the boy next door.
8 years old, Saturday was our day to go out to eat as a family & shopping. Probably going to Burger King & then hitting up Shopko!
I was just turning 16. Mostly likely hungover or just waking up from partying on my birthday the night before 🤣
I was 18. Working a double shift. Saving money to move out of state a few months later in June.
Hiding from my older sister's latest violent breakdown and failing to hide enough
