Does anyone remember a cartoon about four magicians, two boys and two girls? One of the girls was Chinese, I think she had a pet Siberian tiger. At the end of each episode they would do a live magic trick...the only one I remember being where they put pepper in a bowl of water and a drop of soap that would make the pepper disperse.

It took a little bit of looking, but you seem to be talking about Princess Tenko and the Guardians of Magic. While I'm not familiar with this show, it does remind me that the 90s had that weird surge in magician tv specials.

This explains a lot. When I was a kid I got a VHS copy of Wayne's World from one of my relatives for christmas. I always wondered why.

I didn't have the game, but I'm pretty sure I still have some of the comics. Of course there was Strange Days, based on a similar premise.

My only memory of that movie is my parents renting it for us when it came out on VHS. My memory is fuzzy, but I recall there was a sex scene right near the start so they immediately turned it off and took it back to the corner store. I think we ended up watching Beethoven's Second instead. :(

You should check it out. I think it's on Netflix. Despite taking place in 1999, and we're a touch past that, it's a pretty decent movie.

Yeah, the sex scenes do get creepier as you go on so don't watch it with your parents this time.

Really phenomenal cast too.

That sucks. It reminds me of my mom walking in on my friends and I during a certain scene of Blue Velvet.

That movie was so ahead of its time - now there are tons of movies that use the same style. It had a big impact on 15 year old me (and not just the virtual reality lesbian sex scene).

edit: the main character's name is Nero. I get it, finally.

This is from like ten pages ago, but it's literally just called Ghost Horse, and there's a sequel, that I never got to read because the book fair never carried it and I didn't live near a book store and obviously the Internet was not a thing in my house.

Stupid Wrestling People
Here's a bunch of crap I remember from the 1990s:

These games were on the school computer:





Everyone wanted a Game Gear in the early 90s. You could play it in the loving dark and watch TV in it.



I love wrestling. Before the internet took off, I read these in the early 90s. This magazine operated on the assumption that wrestling was totally real:



I loved this book. Look at that cover. 90s as gently caress:




Zellers used to sell these diskettes that had shareware episodes of games on them for like five bucks. They'd come with a file that listed all the non-shareware episodes of the same games you could buy from the developer (usually apogee). I never did get the non-shareware version of Wacky Wheels:



Later these came along. It was basically a disc of hundreds of demos/shareware/freeware:



Your grandmother always Always shopped at Bi-way. They never had anything good like videogames, and all the toys were cheap knockoffs:





You'd also go over to your friends and stay up until 1:30 a.m.(Newfoundland Time) to watch Beavis and Butthead. Half the time you'd both fall asleep before it came on.

Nah, the Bumble Ball had an off-center motor in it, so when you turned it on, it shook like crazy.

Anyway, this show was 90's as gently caress:

I don't think I ever really "liked" it, but when I was a kid I'd have it on in my room because Nickelodeon!... that's all that mattered. If it was on Nickelodeon I'd watch the poo poo out of it, no matter how awkward and bad it was in hindsight.

I mean yeah, I watched genuinely good Nick shows too, like Pete & Pete, Ren & Stimpy, etc., but occasionally I'd have poo poo like Roundhouse on for lack of anything better to watch in the daytime.
