2397	Article	Vaporman87	@echidna: Yeah, cuz if there's anything kids loved more than comics, it was eating junk food! It's crazy to think how fast the comic book boom of the 90's came and went. It was a bubble that was looking to burst from the get go. Still, it brought about some great new talent and some awesome new heroes and villians, as well as some legendary stories. Wizard was at the heart of it all... a relic from a market we likely won't see again. Digital media has made that a certainty.		Jul 14, 2015
2403	Article	Hoju Koolander	Lovin' it, Mick. I had stacks of Wizard magazine going all the way back to issue 7 with X-O Manowar on the cover. It was the only news that mattered to me from the letters page to the Mort of the Month, I loved every page. I totally had the X-Men and Spider-Man: Arcade's Revenge game for the SNES and it ended my love of the system. I have several issues of Deathmate in my garage right now, after having been rejected by a used bookstore I tried to sell them to. Take THAT speculator boom! Oh and the Robin III cover was sort of a lenticular deal you made move with a tab on the front, I still have my issue #1. Pretty lame. The hologram cover for Robin II was simpler and cooler.	1993 Comic Book Ads from Wizard Magazine	Jul 16, 2015
2406	Article	mickyarber	I used to read Wizard from front to back as well, but didn't start picking it up until issue #16. I gave them all away in 2004, buthave recently been picking up early issues of it from ebay. Still looking for more.	1993 Comic Book Ads from Wizard Magazine	Jul 16, 2015
2407	Article	Vaporman87	Mickey, I have several that I can sell you for a reasonable price. Perhaps I should post them in the Classifieds.	1993 Comic Book Ads from Wizard Magazine	Jul 16, 2015
2415	Article	Vaporman87	Awesome!!! I love this story. I can't imagine the fear... the juices flowing through you trying to get away. Especially knowing you were on government property. That's just crazy. Were you certain it was an MP vehicle? I have nothing that comes close to that story to recall, but I did have some uncomfortable experiences either causing trouble or getting caught in places we shouldn't have been. For instance, the most trouble I ever go into was when I agreed to help a neighbor soap the windows of another neighbor whom she did not like. We also put shaving cream on his mower. We somehow got caught too, and in a good deal of trouble. My wife and I had the worst luck of all time when it came to finding spots to "make out". Once was in the parking lot of an abandoned K-Mart. To have a cop suddenly shine a flashlight on you and knock on your car window is startling to say the least. He wanted to make sure my wife wasn't in any duress, which I can understand. Then there was the time in a local park that was closed after dark, but we went to anyway. After seeing a cop pull into the park to look around, we quickly hid under a picnic table (which, as you can imagine, didn't provide much cover). We just laid flat on the ground as the cop car shined it's flood light all around the area. Either the cop just laughed as he saw us and decided to leave us alone, or he just didn't see us somehow, because he left and we didn't have to face him. There were a couple other incidents too. It was like our lips touching created some sort of alarm that went out to all police stations in the area. LOL	The Real Goonies	Jul 23, 2015
2419	Article	Hoju Koolander	"Adventures in Lady-Kissing", Vaporman? Maybe if this crew had more of those they wouldn't have felt the need to put themselves in such dangerous situations.	The Real Goonies	Jul 24, 2015
2420	Article	Vaporman87	LOL. Perhaps. Though I imagine it would only have served to decrease the amount of their adventures... not eliminate them altogether.	The Real Goonies	Jul 24, 2015
5750	Article	RetroOtaku620	Can I also please share this article with the host of the Weird Darkness podcast? This is the kind of story he would read on his podcast. Again, it would be a great way to promote this site.	The Real Goonies	Sep 27, 2023
5780	Article	Hoju Koolander	Hey, sorry for the late reply, RetroOtaku620. I'm fine with you sharing the story or if he wants me to read/retell it in person, I have mic, will travel. Just let me know.	The Real Goonies	Oct 26, 2023
2408	Article	Vaporman87	Ring King, Castlevania 2, Excitebike, and even Defender of the Crown... I owned all of these titles at one time, and all were great. I had all but forgotten the fun of Ring King. It was a different game altogether than Punch Out, and that made it a new and fun experience. It was nice to read about how Tetris brought you and your father together enjoying the same thing. That can make even a boring game much more meaningful and memorable, yet Tetris was a top tier title. I was never able to get my dad to try games either. That is something I swore I wouldn't do as a dad... turn down offers from my children to enjoy things they enjoy.	Yesterdays: MY Favorite Nintendo Games Part 1	Jul 17, 2015
