1. Yo Yo
   Skip-It
2. Jumpers
   Rope-It

If you were looking for something more fun than a jump rope, but less fun than a Nintendo, you got yourself a Skip-It ... well, your parent's got it for you, but still. In the 1990s, Skip-Its came with counters, so you could challenge your friends.

1. Cabbage patch kids
   Furbies
2. Troll dolls
   Beanie babies

These days, trolls are something very different than they were in the 1990s. These toys had fun hair that came in bright colors. Some of them wore clothes, but most of them didn't. These dolls boomed in the early 1990s.

1. Super Soaker
   Splasher
2. Masher
   Nerf

Claiming that you could shoot water up to 100 feet, a Super Soaker was the best way to have fun on your block. The original Super Soaker water guns are worth a lot of money these days.

1. PS4
   Gameboy
2. Sega Seeker
   Super Nintendo

The Nintendo Gameboy was initially released in Japan in 1989, but it made its way across the ocean in 1990. It was an instant hit that took a lot of batteries and weighed around 30 pounds (that's an exaggeration).

1. Polly pockets
   Smooshies
2. Beanie Babies

1. Pogs
   Magic the Gathering
2. Rogs
   Frogs

Pogs were all the rage in the early and mid-1990s. They were basically just discs of paper that you'd stack up and smash. If you had a good slammer, you could win Pogs from your friends, but most people didn't play for keeps.

1. Littlest Petshop
   Polly Pocket
2. Littles
   Little People

Polly Pocket was a great toy for little girls who had a lot of sleepovers. They traveled well, as long as you didn't lose some of the tiny pieces that came along with them — and you always did.

1. Pocket pet
   Gameboy
2. Tamagotchi
   Sega

Tamagotchi toys were basically little electronic video games. You had a tiny creature that you had to feed, put to sleep and exercise. Most kids were given these in place of real pets, as it didn't matter if they died or not.

1. Stop It
   Mock It
2. Trace It
   Bop It

1. Teddy Ruxpin
   Microants
2. Monster Machines
   Creepy Crawlers

1. Furby
   Troll
2. Polly Pocket
   Koosh

Furbies were all the rage when they first came out. They were stuffed animals that would have conversations with you. If you put it in a dark place for a while, it would mention that it was alone and scared. Talk about creepy.

1. Mocker
   Recordboy
2. Talkboy
   Walman

Every kid wanted one of these after Kevin McAllister had one in the movie "Home Alone" (1990). It could record, change your voice and playback all at once. It wasn't the best quality, but it was fun to work with.

1. Boggle
   Upwords
2. Scrabble
   Timer

Boggle was an excellent word game to have around. It had several six-sided dice that had different letters on them. You'd shake the board and change the dice, then try to create as many words as possible.

1. Connect Four
   Etch A Sketch
2. Magnadoodle
   Whipple

Etch A Sketch was an entertaining way to draw when your parents didn't allow markets in the house. Everyone who owned one of these did their best to cover the screen in etch completely. However, it was always shaken and erased before we could.

1. Bouncy house
   Bouncy balls
2. Hippity hop
   Rocket bounce

Hippity hots were mostly seen on television, and very rarely around the neighborhood. That's probably because they weren't as well made as some people might think. If they were blown up to big, they'd pop, and if you hit a rock at the wrong angle, the same thing would happen.

1. Koosh ball
   Monster ball
2. Hacky sack
   Beanie ball

Hacky sack was a very popular game in the 1990s. You could see it played on college campuses across the country. The object of the game is to get the sack to the next person in the most creative way possible. No hands!

   Labyrinth
2. Magna Doodle
   Mad Libs

1. KerPlunk
   Perfection
2. Operation
   Spotters

Being good at puzzles wasn't enough to win at this game. You had to have coordination and you had to be fast. Otherwise, you got a little yellow piece of plastic shot directly at your face.

1. Totally Hair Barbie
   Crimp 'n' Style Barbie
2. Tropical Barbie
   Minor Barbie

The Totally Hair Barbie doll was one of the most popular Barbie dolls of all time. She had a skin-tight dress on and hair down to her ankles. It sold well, because most parents didn't understand what happens to plastic hair when it gets brushed.

1. Smooshies
   Sky Dancers
2. Polly Pocket
   My Little Pony

Wind it up, pull the string and release ... this little doll would spin and fly at your command. Sure, it looked like a Barbie, but it could fly, and that's what little girls were looking for in the 1990s.

1. Super Nintendo
   Gameboy
2. Nintendo Wii
   Nintendo 64

Gaming changed for everyone in the 1990s, and the Nintendo 64 gave us something interesting to hold in our hands. These controllers looked like they required a third set of fingers to use, and for some games, they did.

1. Spice Girls dolls
   Action Chic dolls
2. Dancer dolls
   Gemmy dolls

The Spice Girls took over the planet in the late 1990s. They had a movie come out as well as a laundry list of products (including dolls). The dolls are now collectible, but not as collectible as the New Kids on the Block dolls.

1. Shoot first
   Battleship
2. Crossfire
   Battlestar

The object of the game Crossfire was to shoot tiny BBs at discs to get them to land in your opponent's safe zone. Just when you think you're going to win, you have to reload. It was an intense game.

   Dino Baby
2. Not the Baby doll

1. Star Gliders
   Moon Shoes
2. Shoe Jumpers
   Jordans

1. Gameboy
   Gamer
2. Game Gear
   Hander

Sega's game gear was their response to Nintendo's game boy. The buttons for controlling were on the sides to simulate an actual gaming controller. It was popular among all kids because it had a color screen.

1. Pollyanna dolls
   Rachel dolls
2. Molly dolls
   American Girl dolls

What happens when you have high-class dolls with expensive clothes and rich (pun intended) storylines? American Girl dolls happen. These dolls were all the rage in the 1990s, and little girls who had them felt far superior to those who did not.

1. He-Man Castle
   Castle Greyskull
2. Fisher Price Great Adventures Castle
   Fairy Castle

While it may not have been the most popular toy of the 1990s, it did give kids hours of fun and play. The little figurines without eyes made for some great stories for kids to make up. You can buy one of these on eBay for around $300 these days.

1. Tickle Me Elmo
   Elmo on a Stick
2. Vibrating Elmo
   Giggly Elmo

The Tickle Me Elmo doll had parents running to stores the day of its release. For some reason, people paid outlandish amounts of money for their four-year-olds to have this when they were sold out of stores. Looking back, we can't figure out why.

1. Slome
   Gak
2. Slak
   Flack

Gak was slime that was made by Nickelodeon. Children of the 1990s loved watching people get slimed on various shows that aired on the network, so it only made sense for them to create a product that could help kids recreate these scenes.

1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
   Monster Balls
2. Street Sharks
   Hammer Heads

Mutants were all the rage back in the 1990s. Transformers were out, various monsters were in, and that's how Street Sharks got so much notoriety. They were cool looking, and fun to fight with.

1. Mighty Guys
   Morphin' Ups
2. Power Rangers
   He-Man

In the 1990s, we were introduced to the Power Rangers, a group of teens who fought evil space aliens and monsters. It was a fantastic experiment in film editing, and children loved the show, the characters and the toys.

1. Electric Friend
   Texter
2. Mixer
   Dear Diary

If you had snooping siblings, you probably begged your parents to get you one of these. They were electronic diaries that were password-protected, and as long as your siblings didn't figure out the password, you were good to go.

1. FurReal pets
   Puppy Surprise
2. Pound Puppy
   Puppy Love

If you were lucky enough to get a Puppy Surprise for Christmas or your birthday, you probably only received three or four puppies with it. However, the toy could have up to five puppies stuffed inside of its mother.

1. Sweet Treats
   Treaty Ladies
2. Cupcakes

1. Market Bear
   Crazy Colors
2. Denim Bear
   Doodle Bear

People wanted Doodle Bears for various reasons. They would often ask their friends to sign the bear at birthday parties or elementary school graduations. They were essentially stuffed animal yearbooks.

1. Baby Born
   New Baby
2. Baby Doll
   Peer Doll

If you were looking for an authentic doll that wet itself, you probably wanted a Baby Born doll. These dolls were on every toy store shelf across the country, and pretty much the only one you could find that wasn't from the Cabbage Patch.

1. What's Her Face doll
   Cuppy dolls
2. Glam dolls
   Spice Girls dolls

What's Her Face dolls were dolls that gave you the ability to design them. While Barbie tended to put all other doll companies out of business, these dolls held up for a little while in the 1990s. Of course, she came without eyes, but once you put them on, you were good.

1. Vacuum bucket
   Popper
2. Mr. Bucket
   Corn popper

When a bucket runs around your living room spitting out balls, what are you to do? Get a plastic fork and put those balls back, of course! Truthfully, though, Mr. Bucket was a great game for children to learn colors and counting.
