I’m trying to remember many of the yoyo’s I had back during this time, ones of decent quality and better, and was hoping some of you could jog my memory.
Some are still made today, just updated versions (such as Spinfaktor).
I’ll start with some of the ones I remember:
Team Losi:
Grim Sleeper
Cherry Bomb
Silver Series (chrome plated versions of the above)
Da Bomb
YYJ:
Spinfaktor
Matrixx
Hitman
Big Kahuna
Dragon Jam
Night Moves
Yomega:
many of those made then are still with us
Superyo:
Typhoon
Renegade (black, clear, glow versions)
Invader
Samurai
Sonic Spin
Dif-e-o:
Dif-Fly and a number of others from then are still available. I just got a Dif-Fly, and it was
unresponsive. When I had one back then, it was responsive.
Duncan:
many are still with us, but here are some interesting highlights…

Write out the full name of the yo and the manufacturer. Some will be known to me, but some will either have been forgotten or ones I didn’t know about. Might also be helpful to others.
I know Proyo/Playmaxx was out of the picture in like 2001 but from 98-01 they put out a ton of popular models that are probably worthy of being part of this list. Same with some of the Spintastics stuff, although I only owned a couple of those.
There was also the plug-in and I believe the roo-yo was around that era
Edit:
After checking these seem to fit the bill
Any Happy Yoyo Quicksilver
Bio Malleus
Most of the Buzz-on line
I believe the Barebones was that era
Metal Hitman
Handquake by hspin as well
Kyo immortalis, immortalis 2, phi, kyotu
Oxy 3 and I believe the Oxy 4 was here in 05 but can’t remember for sure
Double checked and Roo-Yo was that era
There was yoyojoca which was basically a clone of the oxy 3
