I mean this sincerely I'm a little shocked we're talking about 90s games and nobody has brought up Quake, which I spent literally days of my life playing.
Fun fact I went to a Quake LAN party at Iowa State I think when I was a high school sophomore and was out all night, I think I got back at like 4:00 AM. I think my parents were mostly just confused by me at the time.

That thing looks like it ran on 18 D batteries that lasted about 2 hrs of playtime.
Being able to go right up to the airport terminal gate to send off or greet someone pre 9/11. I remember as a kid waiting right by the gate and watching the plane pull up to the terminal and getting to greet a relative as soon as they got off the plane. We'll never get to do that again for obvious reasons but was something I enjoyed when grandparents flew in.
Very outskirts of West Ames on Lincoln Way. Past North/South Dakota streets about a mile. It was there when I was in high school (mid 90s)

You Can Make Your Own Zima, So We Did
Unfortunately, none of us ever actually tasted the real Zima, so it’s hard to say how close this recipe gets. But as a standalone cocktail, faux Zima, while not crystal clear due to the Calpico, is a terrific drink for a hot day.
Speaking of my previous post just now about the drive in. In the 90s, for a town the size of Ames, there was a sh!t ton of movie theaters to choose from.

SIAP but I miss the NCAA Tournament bottle cap game Mountain Dew and co. ran every March. We didn’t care about the drink as much but rather, the team underneath the cap when you opened it. When you found Duke you were rich! If you had the champion, you mailed it in and they sent you a Final Four hat from that year. They need to bring that **** back.
A lot of super great stuff here. Feels upon feels on every page.
Haven't seen it yet, but one thing miss at 10 years old is needing nothing more than one of these, a buddy and a patch of grass.

Speaking of P-Hut ...
