I took these photos around 1990s/early 2000s using a Fisher-Price camera which took 110 film.

My parents "big" Sony TV set. I don't recall how big it actually was. It was probably quite small by todays standards. 1990s TV sets were ugly compared to the beautiful ones of the 1950s-1970s, but at least they weren't a big featureless rectangle like todays TVs.
I had lots of daydreams in the 1990s. I used my favourite TV characters as the stars of these daydreams. I daydreamed while jumping on my trampoline. (actually, I still have these daydreams today, but without the trampoline).
CDs. I only had singles in those days. The B-sides were occasionally interesting.
Oh yes, that internet connection sound. Terrible, but now, oddly nostalgic.
I had a tree that was mine! When my parents built a fence, I insisted they cut a hole in the fence so the tree would survive.
"Compact cameras" with a zoom lens. I always wanted one.

Remember those portable CD players by Sony that skipped a lot? I had a cloth and plastic container to keep my CDs in, and would switch from CD to CD while listening to it in the car. I only had CD singles and a few compilations back then (autistic children don't have the attention span for a full album). Do they even still make CD singles?
Pokémon. I think it was much nicer in the 1990s than it is today.
I recall a website, which about NES games (yeah, I was retro even then), and they had a section called "Cream of the Crap" about the worst NES games, and also had a particularly negative review of the Super Mario Bros movie. The webpage even had a looping audio file of a deep-voiced man saying "this sucks".
Video Games Heaven was a chain of video game stores which used to exist. They are gone now. Their mascots were obvious take-offs of Mario and Sonic.
EDIT: How about CD-ROMs? I remember some of the late-1990s PC software titles came in big boxes.
Have you played Atari today? -

I'm not sure if I mentioned but the 90s toys bring back memories of the 90s
like the treasure trolls
I had quite a bit of them the ones I had, had on clothes I had the jailhouse troll, pilgrim troll, pajama troll, ballerina troll, I'm so mad my bad niece and nephew destroyed most me, my brother and sister childhood toys. I managed to get two of my trolls something told me to keep them in the box they came in keep it as a collection item.
