Chainclaw posted:I'm pretty sure there was some talk of Captain N in here, but this show was super hosed up. Here's a clip from a second season episode aired in 1990. Captain N and crew have to fight Game Boy in Burger Time. I need help, I believe I'm going nuts here. Was there some sort of "Saved by the Bell" and "Captain N" tie in at one point? I seem to remember it being the beginning of the "Saved by the Bell" series, and Marcia Warfield was the school police officer that was trying to get Zach. For some reason they got stuck in the "Captain N" world and needed to escape it so they could get to class on time. Someone please help me, there's nothing I can find on Google.

Makes me wonder if it was as subversive as the movie or if he just signed off for a check. The series did hold up pretty nicely as entertainment. The 1997 Paul Verhoeven film still stand as a perfect piece of comedy and brilliant political satire.

I can't be the only one who watched the single season of SuperHuman Samurai Syber-Squad. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superhuman_Samurai_Syber-Squad That show was 90s as all hell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N34MmqmxqD0

The Spice Girls. I was in an all-girls' school when they became popular, and everyone tried to copy the style of at least one of them. By far the most popular was: Sporty Spice. This woman was a fashion icon and she inspired us all to go out in these:  Yep, this was high fashion at my school. I wish I could find a photo of my actual tracksuit, which had a yellow top with black stripes, and black bottoms with yellow stripes. drat I was cool. Also, you had to own a pair of platform trainers, which I have unfortunately seen for sale in various shops, meaning they must be coming back into style. Agh.  My most hideous 90s memory is the sponsored Saturday Night dance we did one lunchtime at school. We had our families sponsor us for each time we could do the Saturday Night dance. I must have heard that record 50 times in a row that day. And yes, I can still remember the dance to this day. If you don't remember the dance, here it is being performed on Top of the Pops: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-S-qpHo7H7s Oh, and I remember my Grandma trying to do the Macarena. Shudder.

Mixed Doubles posted:This is generally how I see it, but this little series of posts got me thinking about exactly how I'd delineate the nineties from the 2000s. I actually think a big aesthetic marker would be the release of the ipod. Not necessarily because of what it did, but by how it introduced that white, minimalist aesthetic that really took off, in contrast with the xtreme, color blocked nineties. Even nineties futurism tended towards black angular stuff. I know this post is from a while back, but the way I see it, a decade doesn't usually define itself for a good year or so after it starts. So say, it was still the 70s until 1981. For most decades of the 21st Century, it's usually a movie or a musical group that sets the cultural tone of a decade. A big mix of things. But 9/11 instantly marked the start of the '2000s. I'm not a sociologist though.

bean_shadow posted:Does anybody remember a dinosaur game where you had to go to different prehistoric time periods and take photos of the dinos? Oh, I think I know the one you're talking about. Was it for the PC? It was Dinosaurs 3D. That was my favorite game when I was a kid; it looked funky due to everything being in 3D and I didn't have 3D glasses. That was just one mini-game, though--it had tv clips of claymation dinosaurs killing each other and all sorts of crap. It was part of a whole series of educational 3D games, I think. We had all of them. There was Zoo 3D, which was about modern animals, Ocean 3D, maybe Space 3D, and for some reason Speed 3D. Speed 3D was the lamest, obviously.

Unfortunately it was none of those. I don't remember the title off the top of my head (obviously) but it's one of those times that if I saw it I would know it. The OS it played on was Windows 3.1. Edit: FOUND IT! Dinosaur Safari.

Oh god, the 90's. I remember begging my parents to stop at every drug store we passed because I just HAD to see if they had any bottles of Designer Imposter that I'd missed. I loving loved that hideous perfume with their ugly bottles - I had them all lined up on my dresser like a loving boss and would hose myself down with it before going to school every morning.

I've got a VHS recording of much of the anime weekend hosted by Bakshi still to this day. A-ko is pretty much the first thing I watched knowing it was anime. I watched Voltron and Ronin Warriors years before, not really putting together the whole "import" thing. Good times.

Makes me wonder if it was as subversive as the movie or if he just signed off for a check. He basically just pulled strings to get his name attached to the tv show. I never was able to determine what, if any, contribution he made to the show beyond that. I was a modeler and animator on it, for what it's worth. I recall his name just appearing on the scripts in the producer slot. The only thing the show had in common with his movie other than Sony paying for it were the bug designs and the psychic corps. Greg Weismann of Gargoyles fame was the motive force behind the show's plot. Btw I too would kill for a Descent relaunch. Playing with headphones on at 3am, the screech the Gatling bots would issue when they saw you would send chills down my back. I also miss being young enough to have the reflexes to hammer folks with the lasers while they tried in vain to pop a Big Red One on me. Ah, memories.
