I'm trying to get rid of the competition first. 

It's getting to the point where guessing might just get it.

Years still available:

before Star Wars

1977 - out (Caps 2.0)
1978
1979

1980 - out (echidna64)
1981
1982 - out (ThatDudeintheHoodie)
1983 - out (shakin steak)
1984
1985 - out (comic_book_fan)
1986
1987 - out (NLogan)
1988 - out (blueluigi)
1989

1990
1991
1992
1993
1994 - out (pikachulover)
1995

after OJ trial

Due to the Mr B clue, most people seem to think 1986, 1989, or 1990 are most likely.

A Home Alone hint.  I'll let vkimo take this one.

The OJ Simpson clues still confuses me. The case was in 95, so does that rule out 1995 itself? Either way with Home Alone coming out in 1990 it all comes down to 91, 92, 93 and 95.

SRC, do the honors?

I may be wrong, but when I read these hints, I consider "before" and "after" key words that do not refer to the years indicated.

I think the Mr B/MSG/sick TV clue needs to be reevaluated. Doesn't seem like it refers to Mr Belvedere now.

Silly vkimo, tricks are for kids.

Diabolical. Just diabolical.

The latest hint could be the Mall of America opening.

My guess is 1992.
