| 4132 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Wow, I knew Ninjas were big business, but this article shows how vast their reach was. Wrath of The Black Manta was a comic book ad I couldn't escape back in the day. Wasn't there even a shopping spree contest tied to that game? Also, I have to thank you for using your Ninja toy hunting skills to help me find a complete V2 Storm Shadow (my favorite Ninja) at RetroCon last year, he is proudly displayed in my retro room now. | Sep 14, 2017 |  | |
| 4141 | Article | DirtyD79 | Me and my brother went through the ninja phase too. I remember when we were teenagers we got some swords and knives at this one flea market up the street from us. I also remember for Halloween in 5th grade I dressed up as a ninja. I also wanted to take some karate classes but my parents never got around to signing me up. Eventually I became more interested in cars and model building instead. | Revenge of the Imaginary Ninjas! | Sep 21, 2017 | |
| 4789 | Article | Ravenloft | Few took ninja mania as far as my twin brother and I. Shadow Warrior Ninja Brothers! I am still Storm Shadow to his Snake Eyes. He has betrayed our ninja secrets in his article to you. You have been marked for death. Always the athletic and agile kids we would scale telepole poles, run on wooden fences, climb up on roofs of multiple story buildings, leap treacherous gaps, climb over razor and barbed wire and other dangerous stunts that as an adult can only make me cringe at the possible injuries we could have had. Astonishing to think I never broke any bones (ahem, that were mine anyway.) The old style metal, concrete and wooden playgrounds were our ninja training camps like in the ninja movies and we learned the very real consequences of any fall. Far from the so called ninja tv shows that have safety foam pits and water to break your falls that are on today. We were doing Parkour a solid decade before it had a name or a popular following. He failed to mention that we spray painted the ropes on the home-made swords so they would be stiff and not come unraveled ever. I have never seen ninja children running around with real weapons the way we did as kids, maybe there were some and they had good training to remain unseen the way we did or maybe we were the last or only ninjas- a recurring ninja theme that is highly inaccurate; as the Hollywood pop culture version of the ninja is still going strong despite all of the imaginary and historically inaccurate elements. Ninja are so ubiquitous that they have become an archtype for play or Halloween costumes joining such other archtypes as the astronaut, cowboy, soldier, knight, superhero or finally the ninja. | Revenge of the Imaginary Ninjas! | Jan 13, 2019 | |
| 5029 | Article | jkatz | This isn't an article.. this is a dang master's thesis on Ninjas in 80's pop culture. | Revenge of the Imaginary Ninjas! | Sep 01, 2019 | |
| 5030 | Article | NLogan | @jkatz Ha ha ha thanks that made me laugh! | Revenge of the Imaginary Ninjas! | Sep 03, 2019 | |
| 3677 | Article | Vaporman87 | I can't imagine a more thorough list of cereals that any kid would want to choose from on a Saturday morning! I would reach for almost any of these as a kid (except maybe some of the healthier fare). I REALLY want one of those Masters of the Universe fuzzy iron-ons (because one of the characters is ROBOTO!). I have right now in my possession one or two of those Sugar Bear Christmas plushes. I had them for use in one of the Christmas Goodie Packs but didn't use them. I actually did not know they made noise upon squeezing them. I'll have to try them to see if they still work. | Saturday Morning Cereals | Jan 11, 2017 | |
| 3682 | Article | Hoju Koolander | I can't imagine a more comprehensive look at retro cereals. The Ghostbusters and TMNT brands especially bring back memories of walking through the grocery store aisles. I never knew those Batman comics were offered through the cereal. I got mine as part of the dramatized book and tape sets, which are fantastic. Love that shot of your collection at the end. So is RJ classics a method now of revising old RetroJunk articles being pioneered by NLogan? Or is this a longstanding trend I somehow missed? | Saturday Morning Cereals | Jan 14, 2017 | |
| 3684 | Article | Vaporman87 | @Hoju: It's the result of this thread: http://retro-daze.org/site/thread/id/1685 | Saturday Morning Cereals | Jan 15, 2017 | |
| 5048 | Article | Vaporman87 | Man, these are all perfect choices Ben. The only glaring omission (in my opinion) is Maniac Mansion. Nice pick with Parasite Eve! I had forgotten all about that game, and it was excellent. | Video games you could be playing on Halloween | Sep 27, 2019 | |
| 5051 | Article | Benjanime | ooh, speaking of point and click adventure games i'm sure day of the tentacle would have fit in nicely too! | Video games you could be playing on Halloween | Sep 27, 2019 | |
