2203ArticleHoju Koolander@AnEarly90sMan I appreciate your confirmation of Turtle-Mania's official start date ;) Maybe in CA we got things going before the rest of the nation. Regarding your Technodrome correction, you are right that it came out in 1989, I meant that quote to read as more of a schoolyard rumor. But as soon as that thing hit shelves, you better believe that Brent was all over it.Turtles: The Teenage Mutant KindApr 04, 2015View
2204ArticleVaporman87@Retro King: Do you mean to say that you recorded YOURSELF performing broadcasts, or you simply recorded actual radio broadcasts? If it's the former, then I am in the same boat. I still have several cassette tapes with my friends and I acting out our "broadcasts". Great stuff.My Christmas 1982Apr 05, 2015View
2205ArticleHoju KoolanderI definitely watched my fair share of Clarissa on those lonely SNICK watching evenings of my youth. I loved that episode where she stood up to the bulky and then ended up dating the guy for a little while. Totally unexpected turn of events, Ferguson's evil laugh was always a good time. I had heard about this pilot in the past, but never tracked it down. Thanks for posting it. The creator of the show did a great interview on The AV Club a while back if you want to red it here http://www.avclub.com/article/clarissa-explains-it-all-creator-mitchell-kriegman-208535Clarissa Now - A ReviewApr 07, 2015View
2206ArticleMissM@EISXUOIS you totally brought up a character that I had forgotten about! But I do agree, I was really upset when Nei died in Phantasy Star 2 as well! I always show a lot of love for Final Fantasy but I also loved playing Phantasy Star games, which are in many ways far more challenging. I didn't play PS2 until I was a little older. I actually played the 4th one first and then revisited the earlier ones as a teen and I didn't actually beat the second Phantasy until some time in my twenties? It was just a very challenging game. I still get chills thinking about being in a dungeon and knowing I won't make it out alive. And thank you for enjoying reading my experiences! I have a lot. lol @Hoju Koolander, I am so thrilled that I am not the only one that thought Samus was simply named Metroid. lol It just made the most sense. I blame the self titled games like Pac Man and Mario for this thought process. lol And there were a few things spoiled for me by Nintendo Power, but how I loved pouring through those issues! @Vaporman87 I can somewhat relate about being shocked by hearing the sound of a voice coming from a game. I think something like that as well as the animated scenes that would come in later on, I remember just being thrown for a loop at how much video games were changing with later systems in the mid 90's or so. And I have no doubt that I would have been in awe and a slight bit jealous of your MK arcade skills! Shock Me, Shock Me, Shock Me…Apr 08, 2015View
