It's funny, I absolutely hated getting up for school during the weekdays, but come Saturday, I was up bright and early to watch all my favorite cartoons and sometimes I'd be up even earlier than I'd normally be for school because I was so excited for Saturday.

magic pantaloons posted:There was something similar to this in Australia. My family had pay TV (aka cable) with Nickelodeon and I would receive newsletters from them. I got 3-D glasses once for an event where certain shows had scenes of 3D for about a month. The also had Smellivision where you had to scratch a certain panel for a certain scene on TV from a booklet that you received from the mail. I remember this! if anyone knows the episode of Hey Arnold! where Helga is having some sort of trip, and running through a tunnel of multi-colored hearts towards a picture of Arnold, that was one of the episodes.

Inzombiac posted:Legend of Kyrandia This was one of the games, along with Amazon Trail and Oregon Trail, that we had on our classroom computers (only if you were a GATE kid though  ) to play during free time.Imagine, if you will, a group of about 10 third-graders, one sitting on the computer doing all the actual clicking and moving, and the other nine sitting there with notebooks and pencils, writing down all the riddles, trying to figure out which order we had to put the gemstones into that altar... only to have all of us get kicked off the computer when the fireberries burnt out and we all started screaming. Good times  And, as Wandering Knitter said, finding out you could drop the berries on the floor and have them not burn out when I was like 19 or 20. I screencapped it, put it on Facebook, tagged everyone in my 3rd grade class, and titled the picture "GUYS YOU COULD DROP THE BERRIES ON THE FLOOR AND THEY WOULDN'T BURN OUT". It was met with a chorus of "OH GOD drat IT WE COULD HAVE FINISHED THAT loving GAME!" A bunch of people actually went and found copies of the game to play, just because we never got past that part, ANY of us.

Johnny Cage, the 90s-est videogame character: I remember when I was an impressionable (dumb) kid, I entered a videogame magazine's contest to "Win Johnny Cage's Leather Jacket!". As far as I know, Johnny Cage has never worn a jacket in a single Mortal Kombat game.

On that note, my favorite campy 90's thing were terribly made Mortal Kombat knock offs. If you had some cheap halloween costumes, a green screen, and could come up with some lame fatalities, you had a fighting game. Especially great were the ones that showed up on the third string consoles like the 3DO and Jaguar, which looked great in screenshots but played like a wet turd. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_Ya4mSkDMI and on that note, early White Zombie

My mother reminded me of Sailor Moon today. Were it, Dragon Ball, and Pokemon the first three animes to wash ashore in the West? Because they brought a loving tidal wave that leaves us swamped to this day.

drat whippersnappers! Astroboy, Speed Racer and a dozen other super low budget crappy Japanese cartoons were around decades before those Pokeymen. My favourites were ones where, whenever they had characters talking, they just threw up still images and had the voice actors' (to use the term loosely) mouths superimposed over the top. EDIT - And let's not forget Starblazers! Fukken awesome. We're off to outer space! Blowing poo poo up in a battleship is ace! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5oniErmeuE Megillah Gorilla has a new favorite as of 05:25 on May 4, 2012 |

korusan posted:My mother reminded me of Sailor Moon today. I thought Robotech came first. I never saw it but some relative bought me some footy pajamas that had sweet looking robots on it that are probably now one of my oldest concrete memories (that family members don't have to remind me about.) The funny thing about the anecdotes that get repeated is that while I have no memory of the events themselves I have many many memories of my family reminding me about it. The Robotech PJs are just something I personally remember from being very wee. And come to think of it, Speed Racer was shown in the US a really long time ago. Here's a nice list. Edit: kinda beaten.

I think DBZ and Sailor Moon were the first real "anime" animes to hit real nationwide network television though. Obviously before that you had stuff like Transformers, Voltron, etc, but those were the first ones with magical girls, BEAMS, and  POWER LEVELS

Oh god this. I played the absolute crap out of this. I still prefer the original graphics version to the "new" VGA one. It was the best to start as a thief but make sure you put points into the magic user and fighter stats, so you could be one super character. Now I'm gonna have to go download it again. Damnit.

korusan posted:My mother reminded me of Sailor Moon today. Speaking subjectively and from a UK perspective, but maybe kind of? Pokemon certainly seemed the point where it went stellar, while stuff like Akira, Fist of the North Star, 3x3 Eyes and Ghost in the Shell always seemed associated with cyberpunk and 90s rave culture to me and a bit more subversive and 'grown up' because of that. They always seemed kind of illicit and 'cool'. Hell, this is my early mid-nineties right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCfDxZxTBW4

i am a bee posted:Speaking subjectively and from a UK perspective, but maybe kind of? There must have been something before that because I have an early memory seared in my brain, pre-pokemon, of a tiny bit of anime. All I remember is that it was in a fantasy setting, in a swamp, there was a little girl and an older boy, one of them had long green hair, the little girl is riding a llama (?) and is dying of malaria. I have no idea what show/film that was, but I caught it some time before I started watching pokmon, so I think it must have been pre-1997. But yeah, I totally identify with your second paragraph. I have a framed advert for Akira somewhere in my childhood bedroom that I ripped out of a magazine as a kid. I really loved the anim aesthetic, but it was hard to be exposed to anything other than pokmon and my parents didn't even like me watching/playing that  Although later I watched Cardcaptors religiously. For a nostalgia hit, I watched an episode on Youtube and it is just as awful as my mum always said it was.

Oh God, just reading that got the Cardcaptors song stuck in my head. I had a Sakura doll and a Madison doll that I cherished so very very much. No idea what happened to them now, which is kind of disappointing. Though, I do remember how shocked I was to find out that Cardcaptors was edited from Cardcaptor Sakura, and I decided to go pick up the manga with my allowance, only to discover everyone was gay.

The only thing I remember from Cardcaptors (being a guy who watched it way too much (Sailor Moon too)) is that the final battle against... what's his name (I want to say Moo or something but I think that's Monster Rancher) was totally unfair. She had to fight him with her cards, but he owned half the cards and there was no indication of which ones. And if she used one of his then it was used against her and probably caused death.

Oh, the crazy as gently caress Chinese kid who showed up just to kill off Sakura and Li so he could be ULTIMATE CARDCAPTOR? I don't remember the ending, I ended up getting really bored after she had to go catch MORE cards and quit watching. I'm kind of tempted to watch an episode on YouTube and see if it's really as bad as I remember. Considering it was one of the first things 4Kids ever put on TV, I imagine it's going to be really bad.

I miss the 90s  Someone in this thread hit the nail on the head when they said the 90s had a wide-eyed innocence to them. Everything's become so gritty, so real nowadays. Back in the 90s, people still believed in cults, poltergeists, etc. E: since we're on the topic of vidya games... I got these out of cereal boxes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H28EFYuHrJ8 <-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GB6DCzUnQB8&feature=related ; Pretty cool, huh? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHcG-dKMkiM&feature=related  Who am I kidding, it's loving awesome.

Having read the original Card Captor Sakura I have to say some of the changes were good. They removed some of the... CLAMPitude. Like how young Sakura's mother was and that thing with her classmate. Jesus poo poo. That said... Julian Starr :iamafag:.

Australia generally has the same trends as North America but not so sure on that one. Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball and Pokemon were never a thing for anyone I knew, even though I moved to Canada in 1987. Just a bit too old I guess.
