2108	Article	SegaFanatic	This was me as a kid! I ALWAYS wanted to shop at these places; cap guns and Power Rangers ruled the aisles! Great article, vkimo!		Mar 19, 2015
2110	Article	Ruespieler	It's funny that you wrote this. A few months ago I was looking at the "cheap" toy aisle at a local department store, and was shocked by how little had changed. It really did bring me back, 90% of the toys there would have been right at home in my toy box, more than 30 years ago. Everything else in toys is different, but not that aisle. An you're right, the dollars earned on those same molds must be in the hundreds of millions of dollars by now. Has to be some kind of record.	Poor Kids Toybox	Mar 19, 2015
2128	Article	Hoju Koolander	Brought back some memories here. One town over from where I grew up was the first time I experienced the joys of the $1.99 Store (yep, they used to get an extra dollar out of us and call it a deal). My favorite items were these orange guns that you could actually cock and shoot foam yellow bullets out of. I convinced all my buddies to get their parents to take them there and gear up so we could have shoot outs in my friend's living room. They were the best toy guns I ever owned.

187	Video	Vaporman87	A reproduction of this is available at Toys R Us. I didn't see what price they were asking for it, but I imagine it's upwards of $150.00.	Star Wars Kenner Millenium Falcon Ad	Jan 24, 2013
2111	Article	Vaporman87	Firstly, it's great to see you making your mark here at long last mass! You've been hiding some excellent writing talent from us for far too long. Secondly, I played every single one of these titles (though some NOT on PC) and have my own experiences and memories of each. However, I'm only going to concentrate on two of them. Ahh, Nascar Racing. And here I thought Papyrus' first Nascar outing had been completely lost in the dustbin of history. I loved this game for a short time when it first came out. My favorite thing about the game (as with most PC games I played) was the option for customization. I loved being able to create my own Nascar ride, complete with stickers and designs of my own creation. My car was sponsored by Rutland Furniture (our furniture store at the time). LOL. The #87 Rutland Furniture car was well known in the Nascar Racing universe for doing a 180 and heading in the reverse direction, making contact with the first car heading the other way, and watching as complete and utter destruction followed. Man, pieces of cars would fly everywhere in that game. I loved that. And since it was just a game, I was not disqualified for it, so I would turn around and win the race because nobody else's cars survived the turmoil. LOL Finally, NBA Live! I can't remember what year it was, but my copy of NBA Live allowed you to create, not just teams, but ENTIRE LEAGUES! I never played with the NBA guys. I instead created an entire league based on a fictional league my brother and I created in order to perform a sports radio program that we recorded on cassette tape. I made the rosters for 12 teams, one player at a time, and watched as I took myself out of the game, and just let the CPU handle the teams and who would win. It was as close to creating your own basketball league and watching the drama play out as you could get. I hate that NBA games these days don't allow this level of customization anymore. I miss that dearly.	My Favorite PC Games of the 90's	Mar 20, 2015
2114	Article	echidna64	Great article, I sense a racing theme! Dude that training level in Driver is ridiculously hard! My friend and I took turns and spent an entire night trying to complete it. It's amazing how the tutorial can be harder than the actual game, gotta love the 90's!	My Favorite PC Games of the 90's	Mar 20, 2015
2129	Article	Hoju Koolander	Ha, at first I thought you played racing games exclusively, but then you threw in Command and Conquer so I could relate. My older brother was a big PC Gamer and it was at his house that I played classics like Lemmings, Kings Quest 1-4, Wolfenstein 3-D, Duke Nukem and Doom. Those Encarta videos were a revelation at the time, that's for sure.	My Favorite PC Games of the 90's	Mar 21, 2015
2130	Article	massreality	I really should have mixed it up I didn't realize I played so many racing games at the time! I think a lot of that was due to my dad buying the games. If it didn't involve racing, he didn't buy it	My Favorite PC Games of the 90's	Mar 21, 2015
2132	Article	Vaporman87	Any time you wanted a game, you should have told him it was "multi-genre" and had a racing portion somewhere in there.	My Favorite PC Games of the 90's	Mar 22, 2015
2159	Article	90schick	I can honestly say I didn't play much on the pc...not until 99-00s with Sims and RCT...	My Favorite PC Games of the 90's	Mar 26, 2015
