VoilaIntruder posted:The Starship Troopers film is cynical, rad, and one of the more prescient products of late 90's cinema. I like Roughnecks too, but for very different reasons. I had to look up the intro for the Beethoven and apparently Verhoeven was the executive producer. Makes me wonder if it was as subversive as the movie or if he just signed off for a check.

Wandering Knitter posted:Every weekend during the summer as a child I would go visit my cousins and marvel at their early 90's computer. They even had video games on their computer! We would sit together in their musty basement pouring over their extensive puzzle/adventure game library in an attempt to beat them all. So let me just take a moment to say I think you mean to say, 'gently caress Roberta Williams' crazy rear end idea of logic.' I think I dropped $40-$50 of my little kid money on that pile of poo poo only to spend a lot of time wandering around in a desert. It came with a cheat sheet guide that had that red see-through plastic overlay that let you read the answers to her nonsensical puzzles but I must have thrown it out so as to better enjoy the masterpiece. I should have gone with Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine or something. Pictured, an utterly terrible game designer:

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.

UnculturedSwine posted:Ohh man, I used to watch The Box all the time. I remember they played all kinds of hip hop and dance videos. They even played Barbie Girl before it hit MTV. Good times. Thanks for reminding me! And that video is pretty awesome. I remember seeing Natural Born Killaz (not related to the movie, btw) on the Box. They broadcast it on UHF so it was like a peek into the magical world of cable and hardcore gangsta' rap.

Dr. Ohnoman posted:Cruis'n USA isn't a Sega game so I'm not sure if you meant that, but it definitely is a 90s racing game and the soundtrack has a lot of "Woo! Uh!" going on, so it was the first thing I thought of when I read this post. The "USA" in a racing game reminded me of another terrible musical atrocity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gx7nRk6IDqE Daytona USA. Let's go away... from this part of the arcade because this track loops on a giant rear end sit-down set up with a huge monitor and speakers and just blares DAYTONA LET'S GO AWAY over and over and... Just listen to it.

Sagebrush posted:I think it's pretty sad that, as that image loaded slowly on this slow internet connection, I knew that it was Darksaber as soon as the "from the best-selling author..." part loaded. I had a shitload of those between about 1993 and 1998. This made made me chuckle a little. quote:I occasionally recommend the three Timothy Zahn books to other relatively geeky people who aren't Star Wars fans, because they're the only ones that hold up on their own as decent science fiction. If you feel up to it, try those out, then never read any of the other novels. And agreedo. The only other ones I read were the X-Wing series which I didn't finish.

Kalos posted:That's partially because whole game was basically just a simplified version of Magic: The Gathering, which already had (and still has) the entire market of collectible card game enthusiasts. I remember I used to cut out all of the file cards from the backs of my G.I. Joe dolls and kept them all together. Had the Joes in a big rack that was intended to house different types of screws and fasteners and things in your garage each with all of their accessories neatly sorted for posterity.  If I had it to do over again I just would have bought and stored them in their original packaging to sell during the height of the dotcom bubble but they were fun to play with. Not sure what I'll be doing with all my old baseball and basketball cards up in my parents' attic.

CanceledTVShow posted:What I remember most about Dunkaroos is that they always had a problem where there is only enough frosting for three of the six cookies in the tray. Sort of like how Lunchables never have an even ratio of crackers to slices of cheese and meat. I like to imagine that it was to teach children about self-control but more likely it was to save cost and make it look like the nutritional content wasn't totally out of whack so they could market it as a healthy snack..

m2pt5 posted:Same in the US. I just posted about it in the obsolete tech thread, and as I said there, most people in the US are perfectly happy to trade security for convenience. I think Benjamin Franklin had some words to say about this in the '90s. The 1790's. Hah, heh. Most likely he just said "Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor Liberty to purchase power." and that in '38 but he had some good ideas about dating older women and how to make efficient stoves and eyeglasses. Back in the 1990s I believed that the US was a good place and worth fighting for. And Airwalk sneakers were pretty awesome too.

Radio Help posted:Here's one for the Portland goons: OMSI moving to the old Portland General Electric plant where it currently resides. I dunno why, but OMSI and the mid-90's are permanently intertwined in my mind. It is the quintessential 90's building to me, and has barely changed since it was built. I hope it never does. My first (and only) planetarium experience was 1999 at OMSI in Eugene. It was laser Floyd and yes, yes we did.

Darthemed posted:Well, yeah; he was put into cryo-freeze in '96. And Judge Dredd or whoever that short man in a weird cop suit was eventually taught to use the three seashells. Snipes would probably have just been so far in character (stoned out of his mind) that he would shout obscenities at the director until he got a another copy of the script and use that. Thus proving that Blade is greater than Rocky. "You wanna go for a jog with an old man on his bicycle? You ran up some steps? Have a little montage about how you're gonna beat up some guy no one can give a gently caress about? I'll be in my trailer getting bladzed."

Thankfully, that guy got his just desserts by having his face getting beat down with a thick tree branch. Must have been a rough 'hood. I had one of the more moderately sized SSs and then I got a dual-tank but my pride and joy was a battery operated Uzi (in bright pink or green or something) that made a sad *wah wah wah* sound as the motor cranked a sad series of streams but it came with non-staining* dye packs so the generally sweaty business of summer water fights wouldn't cover up how much damage you'd done to your friends. *Just kidding, non-staining, yeah sure. One olde weird trick that pisses off every mom in a four block radius including your own.
