It could be anything. Just share something about your past that you'll always treasure. Things you remember that you miss.

Power Rangers, videogames, role playing... all that
Being at a party in I think 92 where our family friend's daughter pushed me over so I threw her down the stairs. Whoops.
The stroller I was in colliding with another one, the kid in teh other one soon became my first best friend for years. He lived right down the street.
The neighbor's cat freaking the fuck out of me when it walked on the dividing property wall at night.
Slightly later (93-95)
Rainy days at my best friend's house playing 007 on N64.
Exploring a furniture store with my best friend and his little brothers one rainy day.
Later on (96-99)
Kindergarten... tons of here and there memories.
Endless hours spent collecting/organizing/staring at my Pokemon cards.
Playing Pokemon Blue/Red/Yellow
More Pokemon. Pokemon and the Arizona Diamondbacks were everything I spent my time on.
That's what I consider my childhood. 2000 and later not so much. Maybe 00 and 01.
Later on, in high school, Friday nights....cruising the local strip with friends, BLASTING everything from GnR to Dr. Dre to Pantera in my El Camino SS....
Here's what I miss.
Food, TV, and Toys
Jellies, spice girls lollipops, Squeeze-its, waking up on Saturday/Sunday mornings and watching Donkey Kong Country (computer generated)..Sonic..Animaniacs..Tiny Toons..etc, Hi-C Ecto Coolers, Pokemon Poptarts, going to KFC to get all the Pokemon plushies (seel, dratini, zubat, and vulpix), being able to get Surge, French Toast Crunch, waking up and watching Nick Jr. (face, gullah gullah island, allegras window, eurekas castle, etc), Sprite Remix, Sobe Elements, play food, 90's toy commercials, and much much more.
Now here's the good stuff. I was pretty damn active growing up. Roller blades, ice skating, bike riding, running, swimming, climbing, etc. One of my favorite was to call my best friend up and just go around our hill and ride around on our bikes. We even had a "secret code" you had to imput on the bricks lol. She's the one that made me want a N64 because that's what we'd do on rainy days
I never had my own game console in the early/mid 90's, so the only time I got to play on one is when I visited my cousin. He had a Sega Genesis so I used to play Sonic and a WWE game (he was always Shawn Michaels and I was Sable). Also watched him play other stuff like Earthworm Jim. Only got to play Donkey Kong Country on the SNES if I visited a different cousins house, and Super Mario Worlds, Mario Kart, etc at another.
Finally got my own xmas 1999, which was a Nintendo 64
Buying Pokemon cards all the time. And that one day going to Blockbuster, opening a pack and getting that holographic Charizard
Got that dvd case sized PS a few years after the N64
Tl;dr
Pokemon, both games and cards. Never actually played the card game though, just collected.
Battling friends in Pokemon and kicking ass because I used all the stat boosters (protein, calcium, iron, etc.) and my friends didn't.
Trips to Philly
Spying on my neighbors
Jumping on my bed to my stereo
I never referred to the N64...
