Thought about posting a clip from Kiana Tom's Flex Appeal because that's 90s as hell, but it's NWS by most standards so you've been warned.

This was shown on Sunday mornings on ESPN, iirc. Church counterprogramming?

Hey, the internet wasn't nearly as available in the 90s, we had to take what we could get.

See also Baywatch and scrambled porn.

How is this any different than Dave and Buster’s, also a very 90s place to go and a relic of the 90s.

It's not really. The one in Indianapolis wasn't even that far from where the Dave and Busters is now.

Kind of made me realize there was a lot of artistry behind even getting text to appear nicely on sprite games.
A lot more thought was put into that than I realized.

I don't recall if I found this account from this thread, but it is relevant to this discussion: https://twitter.com/ruuupu1

I wouldn't always say the CRT output looks better, but it does illustrate why the sprites look like they do.

Woodstock did have a movie made and released months after the festival which is how most boomers saw it, so they edited out all the bad poo poo.

making GBS threads on the 60s was totally part of the 90s, because the unhip boomers who ran everything kept shoving Mike Love at us all the time.

There was a mild hippy revival in the early 90s, right around when Jerry Garcia died.

Not saying it would be good, but if they do it it'll probably be a sequel/reboot type of deal. There was reportedly a plan for a sequel for decades, and Michael Keaton is kind of going through a career resurgence now, and would probably be down for it.

I think you could definitely improve on the original, but keeping the tone would be crucial -- since that's the main thing it has going for it.

Of course the plan for the sequel was Bettlejuice goes Hawaiian. Which was proposed as an idea too ludicrous to be taken seriously, and then it was.

Yea, that makes sense, but it seems odd to sell a part that lets you connect to the internet with tech that a lot of people don't have anymore. I think the install for one of my internet services came on a drive key.

I remember ZipDisks, and how your buddy would put all these sweet wad files on his, and bring it to the lan party and for 3 hours people would try to get it to work while everyone else is playing Quake 2. Wasn't there another format? SuperDisk or something? I remember seeing an ad once for it.

My undergrad school standardized on SuperDisks, which was a 3M standard that held 120MB and the drives could also take regular 1.44mb floppys. It seemed fine, never used it enough to know if it had click of death problems.

This thread is now for posting your local Wendy's sun room and I'm here for it.

Someone drove into ours a few years ago and they had to remodel. Got rid of the old signs for the baked potato bar in the process.

This is just making me realize that space ghost coat to coast is a lot older than I thought...and I was also up much later at a much younger age than I thought

I'm also remembering the first time I saw an episode of the actual Space Ghost show on cartoon network and being SO CONFUSED

Man, Cartoon Network owning all the Hannah Barbarra stuff was pretty cool :shobon:

I was watching it once night and my dad came in and he just could not understand that Space Ghost was a talk show host now.

Not really. They’re just not 30” deep any more. And they’re usually called wall units.

Yeah, my parents have one. It's just a big cabinet that their lcd sits on top of. Has shelves for DVDs and the player and satellite box and whatnot. Theirs is just a flat top, but I've seen them with a pole in the back for mounting the TV to.

I think it's Batman Returns, it might be Forever, where there's a scene at the beginning of Batman suiting up and getting into the Batmobile; Alfred asks him "Can I persuade you to take a sandwich with you, Sir?" and Batman replies "I'll get drive-thru", and then that whole scene was aired on TV as a joint movie/McDonald's commercial.

The Big Lebowski was released in 1998 and set in 1991. Could the Dude's outfit be considered 90s or was he wearing retro?



Basically wondering if I could wear this to a 90s theme night.

Devoid of the Big Lebowski connection, I wouldn't call that outfit 90s. With it, absolutely.

The Verge just posted an article all about Indiglo, the very specific type of lighting that every watch had in the mid-90s (or at least it seemed that way, specific branding aside). Haven't thought about that in a very cool minute, but it really takes me back.

First watch I wore regularly (in like 5th grade) was a Timex Ironman with indiglo and it was the coolest loving thing.
