Unperson_47 posted:I had a similar board game called The Grape Escape where you used molds to make little grape dudes out of play-doh and squished them in traps. Much like Mouse Trap, I never played the actual game. sometime in the very late 90s/maybe 2000, my sister and I grabbed a copy of 13 Dead End Drive at a neighbor’s yard sale It was missing a couple of pieces but was mostly together, we spent a whole Saturday putting the board together and messing around with the traps and then never actually played a round I also got the Batman Forever board game as a 5th or 6th birthday gift, which was this elaborate nightmare to put together (IIRC part of it was designed to look like a big top tightrope, like the Robin intro scenes, and there was this bizarre plastic armature that you had to assemble over the board and there was also a little plastic bat-shaped catapult that you were supposed to launch balls at the player pieces with) and similarly never ever got played and the The Lost World: Jurassic Park “escape from Isla Sorna” game for Chrimbus ‘98 or ‘97, where one player or team controlled the human pieces (trying to escape the island by moving them to the chopper landing site, score/win state determined by how many people you lose) and the other controlled the “dinosaur team” which was made up of like one T. rex and like four or five raptors, which had different move sets (get all the humans before they get off the island). That one got played a couple of times before its components were scavenged to make a project in grade 7 (2002). You had to build like literally 30 buildings out of card stock (like the entire Isla Sorna facility), and they never stayed together properly, awesome idea but executed very cheaply and poorly. I’m sure the dinosaur pieces are in my mom’s craft cabinet somewhere.

Atmosfear / Nightmare was my 90s board game jam. Slapping in a VHS and having the creepy Gatekeeper come up and yell at you occasionally was a lot of fun. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosfear_(series) Got a little lame after you'd played a couple times and knew the timings. They fixed that with the DVD being more random, but that was in the early 2000s so it doesn't count here.

I recall something about 1313 Dead End Drive where I think someone either played a detective or everyone started out outside of the house and you had to roll to actually get into the house proper. I vaguely remember that part, and it being a slog to get through until you’re finally in.

Visited Niagara Falls this past week, saw a trio of people waking abreast wearing the following shirts: “There’s no power like the power of prayer” Three-wolf moon An authentic NO FEAR t-shirt. I don’t think this was done with any irony at all.

For some reason, my school district did not ban Big Johnson, Big Richard or Coed Naked shirts. All of them were really popular in about 5th-6th grade. No Fear and its knockoff, Fear Nothing, were huge in 7th grade. Explorations was popular for girls in 8th. Big Dogs was in at about the same time. There was a Big Dogs outlet an hour from where I lived, but the outlet mall is long dead. Somewhere in there were Guess, Gap and Tommy Hilfiger. And Starter gear. So much Starter gear.

It felt like every one at my school owned a Fudpucker's shirt. Those should've been banned just on the basis of being from Florida.

I'll always remember Ryan MacKenzie getting sent home from grade 9 for wearing a shirt that read "Don't like my attitude? Dial 1-800-EAT-poo poo" and had a cartoon of a little green gremlin holding a rotary phone with one hand and flipping the bird with the other.

There was a Big Dogs outlet an hour from where I lived, but the outlet mall is long dead. There was a brief UK specific trend for basketball gear. I'm not sure how widespread this was, but enough for sports stores to up their intake of merch. The coolest kids would be first and "claim" the Chicago Bulls. I was a little later and claimed the Charlotte Hornets (the mascot looked cool), but the kids who were poo poo out of luck got scowling Looney Tunes playing basketball. Holy poo poo, the exact shirt: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/993792474/vintage-90s-charlotte-hornets-t-shirt Dillbag posted:I'll always remember Ryan MacKenzie getting sent home from grade 9 for wearing a shirt that read "Don't like my attitude?

Our t-shirt wars were between the WWJD crowd and the Austin 3:16 folks, which I suppose is a bit blasphemous.

I remember all of those shirts. I don't know if they ever had a majority share though. I think if you owned one, you were likely to own the others, so really it was the same couple dozen of dudes wearing them daily at my school. I do, however, remember people wearing clothes with the labels that were huge or just screamed in big letters ABERCROMBIE AND FITCH or AMERICAN EAGLE or HOLLISTER and these shirts had some lovely inuendo or claimed there was some rugged outdoor event, et. al. It was gauche as gently caress.

To be clear, I am one of the latter. I had a really loving ugly shirt that I rocked in late elementary, early middle school that was a plain white Tommy Hilfiger t-shirt with just this huge logo that was like a flag and then the brand name above and below the logo. It was also really baggy.
