| 5435 | Article | Vaporman87 | I wish I could say I had a "corner store" nearby growing up. But I did not. I lived at the top of a hill on a dead-end road. The only thing nearby was the skating rink. But after college and a few years of working in the family business, I moved to Rutland and here we had a real, functioning department store. It carried about anything you could want... groceries, tools, had a deli... it was pretty great. It had been open for more than 100 years when it finally closed (thanks to slowing sales and the appearance of not one, but two new dollar stores... Dollar General and Family Dollar). I won't forget that old-timey feel of the interior of the store. I had heard tales of people 40 or 50 years ago bringing in their grocery lists, and clerks going around picking out the items listed for the customer. There was at one time a bank in the store, and the old vault remained there (becoming a little back office of sorts). And hey... it's where I first found Dutch and Hamato, so... there's that. LOL <p><img alt="" height="261" src="http://retro-daze.org/upload/web1_Rutland-Department-Store-Coleman2017112413522261.jpg" width="400" /></p> | Jun 08, 2021 |  | |
| 5457 | Article | Vaporman87 | Great list you have here! A nice mix of classics, oddities, and licensed properties. The Goonies II is a title I wish I would have owned back in the day. Knowing now that it was intended as a sequel to the film makes me feel like I missed out on the further adventures of the gang. I remember bits and pieces of my time playing Blaster Master with my stepbrother. Good times. Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out and Double Dragon are simply unforgettable experiences. The fights in Punch-Out still give me anxiety! I would add Ninja Gaiden, Contra, Golgo-13, Bases Loaded, Metroid, and several others to my own list. I absolutely WORE OUT Bases Loaded. Loved that game. Ninja Gaiden opened my eyes to a new type of game… a cinematic style. Really look forward to what else you may have in store for us! | The NES Games I Remember Playing:Part 1 | Aug 07, 2021 | |
| 5458 | Article | Vaporman87 | What a great idea for an article! Man, there are a wealth of things I’d like to have back. I still have cassette tapes that were meant to be used with the PXL2000, a low end video camera from Fisher-Price. It was my first video camera, and the video quality was black and white and pretty terrible. The version I got came with a small black and white TV that you could connect the camera to watch your videos. If I can find one online to buy someday, I can find out what is on those tapes. It would be the first time seeing their contents in over 3 decades. Other items I wish I still had… my Radio Shack Armatron, my programmable Big Trak, and my entire collection of Stomper vehicles and playset. There are several stuffed animals I wish I still had as well. | The Things We've Lost | Aug 07, 2021 | |
| 5466 | Article | Vaporman87 | Ahh man… that sucks about the college film. Who knows what might have been on it. More games to identify? | The Things We've Lost | Aug 09, 2021 | |
| 5474 | Article | Vaporman87 | Of these, the only show I couldn't get into was The Brak Show. All others were pretty decent, especially Space Ghost Coast to Coast. Missing here are two other funny ones... Harvey Birdman and Sealab 2021 | Adult Swim: 20 Years Of An American Institution. | Aug 17, 2021 | |
| 5476 | Article | Vaporman87 | @Mr Magic: Yeah, it was intended to act as a sequel to the film. I've never played it, so I'm not sure what happens to the gang in it. | The NES Games I Remember Playing:Part 1 | Aug 17, 2021 | |
| 5479 | Article | Vaporman87 | One of my favorite rewards for a playthrough of a game came from Guardian Heroes. Being able to play any of the unlocked NPC Characters from the story mode in an all-out battle royale of sorts was super fun. Who wouldn't want to have 15 fighters on a tiny screen going at it while you are some giant plant monster squishing them all. It was a blast. | Rewarding Moments in Gaming | Aug 27, 2021 | |
| 5490 | Article | Vaporman87 | An awesome list. So many great episodes. My personal favorites include one where Tom finds himself heading to Heaven and then Hell and one where Jerry's relative keeps stealing Tom's whiskers. | My 10 favorite Tom and Jerry shorts | Sep 09, 2021 | |
| 5491 | Article | Vaporman87 | Yeah some of these are pretty undesirable. One that I liked a great deal but just could not get enjoyment out of were Sugar Daddies. Way too chewy and hard to eat. | Halloween Candies That Haunted Me | Sep 09, 2021 | |
| 5498 | Article | Vaporman87 | There is no doubt that the mid-80s (into the '90s) saw a plethora of "crazy", "wacky", and "gross" toys. Slime led the way. You had toy sets like Mad Scientist, The Slime Pit, and Creepy Crawlers. Then it spilled over into actual figures and such, like with Sectaurs, Mad Balls, and Boglins. What a time to be a kid! Great to see another article from you. The topics so far have been right down my alley. | Mad Scientist: A Great Forgotten 80s Toyline | Sep 15, 2021 | |
