2434ArticleHoju KoolanderSo this was really less of an Indiana Jones clone and more of a live action pre-cursor to Tailspin, huh? Never caught this one during my USA Network watching, but reruns of Just The Ten of Us were hard to beat! Aug 01, 2015View
2435ArticleHoju KoolanderSuper Off Road is my 2 year old's favorite NES game, "I want to play car game". I was a big fan of Rollergames on TV as well, choreographed violence seemed so much more dangerous on wheels. I always wanted to rent the game, but never got around to it. While Mario Bros. 2 is my personal favorite, I remember the hype around 3, especially the Happy Meal toys.Yesterdays: MY Favorite Nintendo Games Part 3Aug 01, 2015View
2436Articlepikachulover@hoju yeah they were once I told a paper moocher "I'm not a tree!" I didn't live that down until the next school year. Retro School SuppliesAug 01, 2015View
2438ArticlejkatzI was going to say this reminds me a lot of Talespin. But I love pulp adventures and this one seems as good as any. Was the show's budget big enough to have dogfights like the ad implies?A Look Back at Tales of the Gold MonkeyAug 01, 2015View
2440ArticlemickyarberSince I missed out on Tailspin, I never made the connection myself. As for dog fights...eh. Some chases and stuff and some small fights. You never got the feeling, at least I didn't, that the show was under budget though. At least not then. Watching it again recently, you can see where a slightly bigger budget could have helped a lot though. It really is a fun series though. Well worth a look if you haven't seen it. And I too was a big fan of Just the Ten of Us. But I watched it in it's original run on ABC when it was part of TGIF! That was always a really fun block of programming too.

2441ArticlevkimoI remember owning SMS but never really getting into it. The worlds and levels seemed empty and lonely to me for some reason. Even though the graphics, controls and mechanics were all there I could never really bond with the game.Article Classic: Super Mario Sunshine ReviewAug 01, 2015View
2442ArticleBenjanimei think it would've been interesting to see a fully playable beta, since the residents of delfino were human-looking folk when the original game trailer was shown.Article Classic: Super Mario Sunshine ReviewAug 01, 2015View
2443ArticleVaporman87I never had the opportunity to place this one. It seemed to stray quite a bit from the standard Mario offering, and I think that made me unsure of whether or not it was worth investing any time into. I guess I figured nothing could top Mario 64Article Classic: Super Mario Sunshine ReviewAug 02, 2015View
2444ArticleVaporman87My Trapper Keepers were vaults into my imagination, which also happened to house my schoolwork. I decorated them and filled them up with tons of sketches and comics I drew during study hall. I never had a really cool backpack. They were always pretty plain looking, with no licensed product on anything on them. Now my folders were a different story. I had lots of different folders featuring cartoon characters to just funky shapes to just plain red or blue. Those too were decorated to fit my desires. Those pencils with the "bullet" leads were some of my favorites, even if they weren't that practical. I don't think owned any of those until I entered high school though. I do have a story that pertains to this subject a bit. Once, while I was cleaning out my desk while our teacher (Mr. Will, a bit of a hothead) giving a lesson, I suddenly heard the smack of my pencil box on the top of my desk and saw it shatter into pieces before me. My stuff went everywhere, including one of those compasses with the sharp point on it to hold it in place on the paper. It startled me. Then I saw that it was the teacher who had picked it up off my desk and shattered it. He didn't like that I was cleaning my desk while he was talking. He then said something to the effect of, "And I don't care if you tell your parents about this, it's your fault." Well, I did tell my mom (my parents were divorced at this time). She was dating a State Highway Patrolman at the time, who was 6'8" tall. He and my mom went to pay him a visit. LOL The next day, he apologized to me and the class, and purchased me a new box. Yeah. I think he ended up caring that I told a parent. Retro School SuppliesAug 02, 2015View
