Mostly I remember just hearing the drat thing while I went and played something else. I also remember them shooting CDs as a weapon and lol. The 4 player Turtles In Time is still my all time favorite arcade experience game.

In fact, it was one of the first games I had ever seen a cheat or tips sheet for. My friend found one on the internet and printed it out and brought it to the arcade and we used it to get pretty far. We loved that game. I never understood the hate it gets, although supposedly it has some no-win places in it to get you to have to put quarters in, so that sucks

Sir Lemming posted:So it was YOU!  It was waaaaaay in the back of our local Wunderland/Wonderland? arcade. Played alot of Hydro Thunder, and Off-Road Challenge (always pushed the secret buttons to get the monster truck) and Metal Slugs. Though, that was mostly early 2000's. Why my arcade had an Aerosmith arcade game is beyond me, but I thought it was cool man!

I can't quite remember if my local arcade, Fun World in Sanford, had Revolution X. When I went as a kid I rotated between the Terminator 2 game, Lucky & Wild, and Mad Dog McCree 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OOP-1WHSKE

The Lucky and Wild Arcade Cabinet is incredible and I can't believe that design didn't take more. Focusing in hard on my arcade memories lately have renewed my anger at how loving much crap Midway games like Area 51 and Cruisn' World were everywhere in the late 90s.

Same except instead of buying the game my buddy and I just went to an arcade and beat it. Then as an inside joke we would just do that noise randomly. People thought we probably had Tourettes or something. It still owned.

There’s a scene from Mr. Bean where he’s in an arcade playing one of those penny waterfall games. In the background at one point, you hear Colossusm’ UGGGGGGGGH right in the middle of the scene

Antioch posted:I still have a crush on Christina Ricci. I mean, anyone who says they don't is a drat liar. Arcade: The discount movie theater across town had a small arcade with Marvel Vs Capcom but it was somehow borked in such a way that you could only pick Dazzler (or maybe Jubilee? gently caress, I dont remember). They had the Aerosmith game, but that one was all the way hosed with the controls being non-responsive, so it would endlessly just play the menu and demo mode and act like a 1 track jukebox for the arcade hovel (which I thought was great). A few years later the local chain video rental place had an ultra mega clearance sale and had 1 copy of Revolution X on super nintendo for $1.50 and I was like OH gently caress YEAH I'm finally gonna get to play this loving game. And... it was bad. SO bad. I've since played it in an arcade, and as an upright arcade game it has its own weird charm, but the Super Nintendo version is just awful. I still have it in a box somewhere.

The Simpsons Arcade Game is hilarious because they put it out after season 1 came out and so they only have Season 1 characters to work off so its full of weird versions of characters and even weird background characters.

Amazing, Cryin', and Crazy are all basically the same song...all from "Get a Grip," the album with the pierced cow teet. And let's be honest, having Alicia Silverstone and Liv Tyler in the music videos didn't hurt, either.

I don't remember amazing, but now that you say that, you're definitely right about Crazy, I think I lumped them together in the bin of crappy songs. I definitely remember both getting a ton of airplay for a while and always being baffled that they were supposed to be "good songs."

It makes sense when you realize Aerosmith's original Boomer fans in the 70's were now entering middle-age, and thus needed something that was SLIGHTLY edgier than Michael Bolton in a vein attempt to still appear cool.  A bland-as-gently caress, drug-free Aerosmith was perfect cause they cold feel like they were still clinging to their teenage, hard-rockin' roots, defying "The Man", while actually being "The Man" and systematically dismantling every social and economic benefit they had as young adults to slightly enrich themselves more.

This is just who-cares aside but every time I read "Hillary Duff" for the past 20 years (admittedly not very often) I thought it was "Duff" the 1990s MTV person until I just came across a picture of "Hillary Duff" and oh of course it's not the same person, how could it be.

This may be true, but Aerosmith was pretty popular when I was in high school in the early 90’s Early stuff like ragdoll was still awesome. They cratered the aforementioned boomers heads by teaming up with Run DMC for “walk this way” The Pump album They were legit, at least where I came from and had a rotation in my CD player alongside STP, Pearl Jam and RHCP among others of course

It was released in 1988 and was very much part of their late 80s/90s revival.
