Let's take a stroll down memory lane!

The date is August 12th, 1992, and it's a Wednesday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Leo. It's summer, so the temperatures are warmer and the evenings are longer than usual.

In America, the song End Of The Road by Boyz II Men is on top of the singles charts. Over in the UK, Rhythm Is A Dancer by Snap is the number one hit song. George W. Bush Snr. is currently the President of the United States, and the movie Death Becomes Her is at the top of the Box Office.

Furthermore, the vast majority of people still have no idea what "the Internet" is. A civil war is currently taking place in the African country of Rwanda.

It's 1992, so radio stations are being dominated by the likes of Kris Kross, Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Sir Mix-a-Lot, Right Said Fred, Snap! and Nirvana. In fashion, many of the trends from the late 80s are still in vogue. Colored tights, denim overalls, leotards, flannel shirts and shoulder pads are all fashionable at the moment. Grunge fashion has also become mainstream, popularizing band t-shirts, ripped jeans, mom jeans and Doc Martens. In Europe, a war is continuing to rage on in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Exiled Iranian singer and actor Fereydoun Farrokhzad has been found murdered at his apartment in Bonn, Germany. The killing is widely believed to have been the work of Iran's Islamic government. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Anthony Perkins, Audrey Hepburn, Thurgood Marshall and Andre the Giant would all be still alive. On TV, people are watching popular shows such as "Full House", "Quantum Leap", "Baywatch" and "Melrose Place".

Meanwhile, gamers are playing titles such as "The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants", "F-Zero", "Desert Strike " and "Kirby's Dream Land". Kids and teenagers are watching TV shows such as "Adventures of the Little Koala", "Round the Twist", "Rosie and Jim" and "Taz-Mania". If you're a kid or a teenager, then you're probably playing with toys such as Sylvanian Families, the Game Boy, G.I. Joe (figures) and Pogs / Milkcaps.
