It looked like Kix cereal with two styles (white balls and yellow). It tasted a lot like Kix, but a tad sweeter. It had kids on the box doing chin ups and running.
Boo-berry
Made by the same people who made Count-chocula and Franken-berry. This was a ghost-shaped blueberry flavored cereal.

Hard pellet like chocolate cereal with a bird(whom I used to always confuse with woody wood pecker) as its mascot. The cereal turned your bowl of milk into chocolate milk.

Little, fake chocolate chip cookies.....yummy. Although it is still around today, I remember eating it religiously every saturday morning in front of the TV while watching Smurfs! You might remember the commercial?....With the burgular who tries to take the cookies, and the alarm sounds...."Cooooooo-kie Crisp"
Cookie Crisp
Same cereal as the 90's, but they tasted like real cookies, and they had the Cop guy on the commercials. Now, it's just the dog.
Count Chocola
The cereal that turned your milk brown and milk chocolatey with the brown chocolate marshmallows and crunchy bits...
Cracklin Oat Bran
From Kellogs. Shaped like an "O", extremely crunchy, and some in the commercials were accused of "Eating all of the Cracklin Oat Bran"

Crispy Critters
Tasted like Kix but in the shape of animal crackers, but smaller I think. The song goes: "Here goes crispy critters, the good wholesome bunch. The low-sugar cereal with lots of cah-runch! They're indubitably delicious!" The commercials featured a little girl who couldn't say "indubitably"
Crispy Wheats and Raisins
Basically a copy of Raisin Bran, except it's crunchier, the flakes are better looking and the raisins are juicier. Lovely commercial where raisins and wheat flakes fall together onto a stream of milk into a bowl.
Cruncheroos
Granola-esque O's, Mascot was a toothy purple dinosaur who woudl sneak around saying "cruncheroos" in an amusing voice.

From the makers of Cocoa and Fruity pebbles, was dino-pebbles. It was like rice crispies, with little different colored marshmellow dino's in it (dino, fred's pet dinosaur)
Donkey Kong Crunch
Just like cap'n crunch, 'cept it was bigger. shaped like barrels with mario and donkey kong battling on the box
Donkey Kong
There were two cereals made: Donkey Kong, which the cereal was in the shape of barrels. Came out at the exact time Pacman cereal hit the market, put Pacman lasted much longer. Strictly a Cap'n Crunch rip off.

Tastes like powdered doughnuts. Look like mini powdered doughnuts.
Doughnuts
The commercial went "Tastes like powdered doughnuts too, new doughnuts!"
Dunkin' Donuts Cereal
The box was divided in half...2 different flavors, one on each side. looked like mini-donuts. Crispy and ooooh so good.
Dunkins Donuts Cereal
This cereal had a tie in with the 1980's Dunkin Donuts commericals. On the box it showed the Dunkin Donuts guy ("Time to make the donuts". "I made the donuts") The cereal were mini crunchy donuts made from "4 grains." I remember eating the chocolate donuts cereal, but there could have been other flavors.
E.T. cereal
This cereal was very plain indeed. It had little E's and T's that were yellow in color and tasted just like the yellow parts of Captain Crunch minus the berries.
Frankenberry
The cereal that turned your milk all pink with the pink marshmallows and crunchy bits...
Freakies
I guess they were similar to 70's Freakies but they had Freakie shaped marshmallows and cookies rather than O's. "We are the Freakies, we are the Freakies, this is our Freakies Tree. We never miss a meal (oh no) cause we love our cer-re-eel"

Fruity Marshmallow Krispies
Rice Krispies with fruit shaped marshmallows.
Fruity Yummy Mummy
I think this was supposed to be the 5th in the monster line of General Mills cereals (or perhaps a replacement for Fruit Brute). I remember the commercial had a cartoon mummy coming out of a sarcophagus eating a bowl of it and saying "Fruity Yummy Mummy makes your tummy go yummy!". But unfortunately Yummy Mummy was short lived (just like Fruit Brute).
G.I. Joe Cereal
The only thing I remember is the box: on the side there was army man climbing the box with chains. That's pretty much it.

Based on the movie... kinda like Lucky charms only with white marshmallow ghosts

Yet ANOTHER honey nut "O" cereal. This was also best known for its commercial, in which every member of a family ends buying a box of the cereal independently of each other, and they all end up at the register with a box.
Honey Nut Cheerios
I think these came along in the late '70s or early '80s, and they were definitely my favorite as an '80s kid. Before they were introduced, all anyone could get was the bland unsweetened oat Cheerios (ugh). Also, I remember the numerous commercials with that animated honeybee pouring honey and nuts all over the place.
Ice Cream Cone Cereal
I could be a bit off on the name...but It was little chocolate and vanilla ice cream cones and it had a cheesy looking ice cream man on the box.
Ice Cream Jones Cereal
This is the correct name for the above mentioned cereal. The jingle to the commercial was "My names Ice Cream Jones... Bringing the kids those ice cream cones. A crunchy new cereal for breakfast, with the great taste of ice cream cones!"
Ice Cream Jones
Hey! The cereal you have listed as "Ice Cream Cones" was called "Ice Cream Jones". Named after that guy on the front. I remember it had animated commercials that went...

Kaboom
Based on the Atari 2600 game. Had little bombs that were sugar coated kix.

King Vitaman
They were sort of like Cap'n Crunch but with a bit more sugary taste and finer texture. It had this ridiculous looking king on the cover smiling as he spooned the cereal into his mouth.
King Vitamin
I remember King Vitamin being one of the first cereals to advertise that it used "Nutra Sweet". So I am guessing that it came out around the mid 1980's
Krazy Cow
They had strawberry and chocolate. They were balls, the size of kix but in these 2 flavors. Super Yummy!! There was a brown cow eating the cereal on the box
Lucky Charms

Another new variety of Cheerios introduced in the late '80s. These contained rice,wheat,corn and oats all in one.

This cereal was supposed to be healthy but it was really good even when you didn't put sugar on it. It came in four different shades of the original Cheerios color, each with a different taste. They came out around 1988.
Nabisco Frosted Wheat Squares
Nabisco's answer to Kellogg's Frosted Mini-Wheats. Had white frosting on one side and wheat on the other. Came in a generic-looking red box.

Oat Bran O's
These came out during the oat bran fad of the late '80s/early '90s. They looked like some kind of animal feed, however, they tasted quite good.
Oh's!
Bigger than Cheerios, with a nutty mixture in the hole of the "oh"...came in two or three flavors. Good for snacking, as well as a breakfast cereal. My childhood penpal created the name for them because her best friend's dad worked for the company that created them and she told him they looked like "little oh's!"...he told the marketing/PR dept and voila! instant cereal name.
Oh's
Good stuff in the middle. Honey circles with nuts in the middle. Manufactured by Quaker Cereals. Originally, Quaker manufactured the Honey & Nut version. Later (@1988), the developed an Apple & Cinnamon version. It did not last long. Honey and Nut "Oh's" can still be purchased in quality stores today.

Quisp
It had a dude from space on the cover with a propeller hat type head
Rainbow Brite Cereal
Captain Crunch-like cereal with bright colored pieces. The commercial for it I most remember involves the little girl from "Poltergeist" enjoying a big bowl of the cereal while Rainbow fights Murkey and Lurkey, ending in happiness and fruity goodness for all.

I loved the "raisi-nuts" that came in the cerial. Also had little slivers of almonds.

Scroomptious Croonchy Stars
This cereal was inspired by the Swedish Chef from the Muppets. It was a puffy,star shaped, cinnamon flavored cereal. The commercial showed the Swedish chef in a kitchen, and a pot exploded and Croonchy Stars flew all over the place. The box was even funnier. It read This product does not contain: (among other things) Venetian Blinds and Pachederms. I kid you not.

This also had a name change around the early '80s. It was originally called Sugar Smacks. It was very similar to Super Golden Crisp (puffed rice), but had a frog mascot instead of a bear.

Vanilla Wafer Cookie Crisp
This was the "other" flavor of the popular Cookie Crisp. In my opinion it was much better than the chocolate chip flavor. I remember it was in a blue box, and I believe this was when the wizard was used in the advertising campaign for this cereal. 1982 or 1983 would be the year.
Waffle-os
The cereal contained little waffles that were covered in maple syrup.
Wheat Hearts
Can be cooked like oatmeal or used as a substitute for flour in pancakes or waffles. A finely ground dark grain.
