What happened in 1987....toys, movies etc.

So I came across a blog today where someone said what was popular when they were born, the author of that post was born in 1982 so although I can imagine it won't be too different from me, it gave me a good idea for an entry myself.

I was born on the 24th February, 1987. The day was a Tuesday (Thanks to Football Manager lol) and there were many things going on that were new and up coming.
Some may even say 'state-of-the-art'.

1987 was the year of Dirty Dancing, and RoboCop (The Original, of course), Three Men And A Baby, and Lethal Weapon.

Hillary Duff was also born on September 28th of this year. Great looking woman to share the year with really.

Some of the popular toys are also: Rubik's Cube, Slinkies, and Mr Potato Head.

These were the pre-iPad times of today, hardly any kid's toys were in any form electronic, even th consoles were pretty 'retro' to what we have these days, Sega Master System, and Commodore Amiga 500, which became the biggest gaming system of the 80s, in Europe the Amiga was the biggest selling console of the time.

Although I never owned either of these because I was only young, both of these remind me of the Atari ST and the Sega Mega Drive that we had in the house.
I remember when we were allocating time with my sister to take it in turns when we got the Mega Drive and Sonic games. That game actually still holds up and some people still seem to play it even these days, Sega have even released the games on new platforms like the XBOX and Sony stores to download.

The important question, what games did you used to play on your Master System or Amiga?
And what computer system's did you grow up playing?
