SingStar '90s makes us feel old

As if VH1's I Love the '90s and The Simpsons' recent '90s-stalgia episode weren't bad enough, Sony is helping us feel incredibly old with the announcement of Singstar '90s. The new karaoke collection, which goes on sales March 12 for the PS2, features Boyz 2 Men, New Kids on the Block, Spin Doctors and other artists that were popular in a decade that only ended eight years ago for goodness sakes.

Speaking of old age, we've been approaching it rapidly as we wait for the oft-delayed PS3 edition of Singstar, which an IGN interview reveals is now set for a May release in the U.S. That same interview also reveals the existence of Singstar Pop, Vol. 2, also coming in May for the PS2. We just hope our new dentures don't adversely affect our singing voices by then.

My wife just travelled forward in time so she could buy this immediately upon hearing this.

And to be honest... haven't we all wanted to do "Baby Got Back" into our PS2s? I know I have.

All the, small things
True care, truth brings
I'll take, one lift
Your ride, best trip

Always, I know
You'll be at my show
Watching, waiting, commiserating

Say it ain't so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home
Na, Na.......

Late night, come home
Work sucks, I know
She left me roses by the stairs
Surprises let me know she cares

Say it ain't so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home
Na, Na......

Say it ain't so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home
Keep your head still I'll be your thrill, the night will go on, my little
redmill
Say it ain't so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home
Keep your head still, I'll be your thrill, the night will go on, the night will

Late 90s pop music was fun. O.o

We bought it to help with your homework
We bought it to help with your homework
And the household accounts
If your dad ever works it all out

Lunchtimes in the library writing down the pokes and peeks
Copying an access code, get a taste for home taping
Fetishists of map-making
Rubber keys and rotten leads, rand and run and load and screens
Then five minutes fingers crossed hoping not to witness the terror
Of R: Tape Loading Error

We bought it to help with your homework
We bought it to help with your homework
And the household accounts
If your dad ever works it all out

ZX spectrum 81, dragon vic and oric1
Commodore 64, amstrad and an acorn electorn
Cheaper BBC micro
Jet set willy, sabre wulf, lords of midnight, underwurlde
Dark star, transam, ant attak
And of course, manic miner
The hobbit and knight lore and elite

It made a generation who can code
A bubble before proper consoles, who all know
That the games you get today, may be very flash
But there'll never beat the thrill
Of getting through Jetpac

Hey Hey, 16K, What does that get you these days?
You need more than that for a letter
Old Skool Ram Paks are much better.

Personal Computer Games, Your Sinclair, 16K
Kempston Competition Pro, Crash and Cursor Keys and GO TO
Dixons and bother Saturday staff with loops that never end

We bought it to help with your homework
We bought it to help with your homework
And the household accounts
If your dad ever works it all out

Hey Hey, 16K, What does that get you today?
You need more than that for a letter
Old Skool Ram Paks are much better.

For n=0 to 2
Those were the days
Next n

Oh oooooooh oh oooooooh oh, hangin' tough!

Great, I'm going to have that stuck in my head the rest of the day. Thanks.

Ah the 90s
A time when cellphones were a rare sight and the jigawatt was unheard of

sort of

Ah the 90's where only Zack Morris own a portable satalite phone the size AND weight of a brink.

The 90's had the best thing in the universe ever

SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron

lol excuse me for just now realising thats where ur avy is from. +1!!

Ah the 90's
What a glorious decade
It marked the beginning of the legendary Star Wars prequels
And the horror that would soon follow

Urgent message to Sony:

Stop focusing on the PS2, and make your PS3 the priority for developers.

What a different world it might have been if the PS3 had supported the guitar hero legacy controller/connector and 'God of War 2' had been native to the PS3.

Yes, but then we would still be waiting for GOW2 ¬_¬ Intead of GOW3, and by then, the hyped would have died down on GOW :P

Better not have Hanson or I will eat the game.

MMM BOP!

Hahahaha.

Oh god help me.

At least North Americans will be spared the terror and foul horror of Barbie Girl.

This kid of the 90's approves.

Suck shit, the Euro one is much better and has been out for months already!
