Our Childhood Memory In 80’s Malaysia by uncle chan
Nowadays, what game children play? Definitely are computer games, PS3, PSP, mobile phone and more which these advanced electronic devices are not available at our childhood. Since technology advanced pretty fast, few of these games or foods are rare to see now, I’m sure all these will make you recall back to your childhood, those good old days..
No one will know what is the feeling when seeing these pictures but only those are born in 80’s Malaysia (may other countries as well) will understand exactly how much we miss these..

I still remember I had a collection of these countries rubber, most of these were my winning prize from my friends. ![]()

Traditional pencil box

Lot of functions in one pencil box, I really like it in my primary school.








What we watch when we children, most of these is Transformer ,ThunderCat, Popeye, Doraemon (Doraemon still available on most of the TV channels), He-man, Ninja Turtles, Tom and Jerry and Les Schtroumpfs. Some of these we play the game by using NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) at home.

Power Ranger 1st generation, a long life TV shows.

I believe most of us watch DragonBall’s comic and anime before, and this story had converted to movie which in theatre on 2009.





You may think these were stupid games ,but these were what we play and there is no computer or PS3, Xbox in our childhood in 80’s.

Mario in NES. A classic arcade game, but i more prefer the Mario 3 which Mario can be fly after ate a ‘brown leaf’.





YoYo , ‘Happy Family’ card game and other toys we usually play in our childhood.


I found that this stuff still can buy in the market.

I remember this stuff, but forgot how to play it already.



Card collection and war!

Chew gum we chew last time.

Dora-Dora and DingDang , contains few chocolate and a toy inside package. Every week had different toy.

Hmm …. this biscuit probably is a material most used for worship (拜神) in Chinese cultural rather than eat.

I not sure what are these but it remind me ‘Ice pop’ with many flavour which cost $0.10 – $0.20 per piece.







LOL-ed…. wher you find those power-rangers pic ar..
