 Every goddamn video game magazine from Electronic Gaming Monthly to Game Pro to Nintendo Power ran this contest every other year, upgrading the systems as new ones came out. Even as a teenager, I thought it was all a bullshit scam because no one has ever come forward saying, "Yep, I won ~~The Ultimate Gaming Rig!!©™~~ back then  "EDIT: Reply is not edit

Wink Martindale has a lot of cool old game show poo poo on his YouTube channel (some of it incredibly rare because a lot of it was previously thought to have been wiped), but then there's this commercial that is peak '90s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TO4RLjK1LI EXTREME BEEPERZ

1000 Brown M and Ms posted:I think that's just a product of pop culture not fitting into calendar decades. It was either here or in another 90s thread, but the general consensus was that the 90s ended with 9/11. Also, watch Freaks and Geeks for a good example of this. It's set in 1980/81 and yet everything is 70s as hell. You ever want to get an accurate idea of what average, ordinary people looked like from the late '70s to today, take a look at this website, click on a year, and then click on the LPI interns pic. http://www.lpi.usra.edu/lpi_40th/ That's pretty much what the 1980s looked like in a nutshell. Not everyone looked like Madonna and Don Johnson throughout the entire decade as "lol the '80s!!!" Hollywood and TV want you to believe. And if we're going by fashion alone, the 1970s really didn't end until 1984, the '80s didn't end until 1992, and the '90s didn't end until 2001, so good accuracy on goons, I guess.

Choco1980 posted:I watched it when it was "live" or whatever you want to call it actually on TV. It was a weird thing where there was a package of different saturday morning pilots that aired on Thanksgiving Day. There was also a Battletoads pilot in that block I remember. IIRC, the Bubsy Genesis game had a separate card with the instruction booklet that said something like, "Catch Bubsy in his first Thanksgiving Holiday Special! Coming soon!" That must be what it was referencing. Thank God I never saw it, and just assumed it never happened.

RC and Moon Pie posted:I remember that Fox did a Smell-o-Vision one night. drat, I remember this! I think I still have those cards in a high school era memento shoebox somewhere. A few years prior in 1991, I remember John Wayne's Hondo was shown on TV in 3D (the movie was originally shot in 3D). You could buy the 3D glasses at most retailers, and the proceeds went to charity if I'm not mistaken. John Wayne is one of my dad's heroes, so it was only fitting that I watch the movie in 3D with him. These glasses take me back to being 12 years old.  I had the Duke glasses, and my dad had the Apache ones.

It's also radical Ocean Pacific style mashed up with the movie "Rad". Radical. Radical. Extreme to the max!!!! Mullet!!!!!!!!! Please tell me the folders are Pee-Chee. I used to draw all over mine, as i'm sure everyone else did. Pretty sure we all had this S drawn somewhere on our Pee-Chee folders:  Here's my Trapper Keeper from the same era:  The Keeper fell apart many moons ago, but I recently found a matching Video Rock folder in some old storage stuff I had, and it brought me back to the Keeper.

Battle Rockers posted:It's weird how one can completely forget about something until you see that very thing so many years later. I only remembered that that show was a thing after seeing that clip. The memory was just floating around in my gray matter, not accessed at all until now. So weird how memory works. A big one for me was remembering a giant jukebox dancing to Martha & The Vandellas' "Dancing in the Street." I don't know why in the hell I remembered something outlandish like that since I was around the age of 6, but absolutely no one I ever asked knew what the hell I was talking about or why I wasn't committed. For thirty years that sliver of weird memory lingered in my noggin until last year when an odd playlist came up on YouTube that had a Kidd Video episode called "Having a Ball." There it loving was at 1:47. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVzo-ER76bE The brain and memory are a strange thing, indeed, and so was Kidd Video.

wesleywillis posted:Speaking of 1990s things that have to do with dicks...... I remember a Bobbitt joke where the punchline was that his ding dong hit and bounced off the windshield of a passing car as Lorena threw it out, and the driver of the other car said to the passenger, "Did you get a load of that woman littering?", and the passenger said, "Never mind that, DID YOU SEE THE SIZE OF THE DICK ON THAT BUG?" Oh, corny summer before 8th grade jokes.

twistedmentat posted:Were those terrible movies about the Lambada from the 90s too? Basically I have trouble remembering if things are from the early 90s or the late 90s until nevermind came out. It started with Dirty Dancing in 1987, Salsa in 1988, then started the '90s off with both Lambada and The Forbidden Dance in 1990, although 1990 was still very much the late '80s.

Huh, at the same time I just recently found my Resident Evil 2 and Silent Hill strategy guides in an old shoebox in storage. Some really in-depth stuff that made me smile as I flipped through the pages. So being cool in 1996 meant you had a... backpack? Yes, I kind of get that it's a ~*JanSport*~ backpack, but still. Also, Surge didn't come out until 1997.  Should be this (which I still kind of miss):

You could tell this image was created no later than 1992 because Kris Kross were the only dudes who did the fad of wearing their clothes backwards when they broke out that year. Then again, if that ever really was a licensed image created by Warner Bros. (it most likely wasn't), then I could see it made up in 1997 by some clueless WB exec that wanted to be "with it" with the bippin' and the boppin' Fat Boys music. I tried wearing my clothes backwards back in 1992. Once. For about 10 minutes. Before I said to myself, "This is dumber than poo poo holy loving poo poo" and promptly changed them around to normal. CONTENT: This song pops into my head whenever I sleep on my stomach or in a weird position on my arms: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfKFV1J7O4s I also think of this one when I hear "Blinded by the Light": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9_3nQFNy-w In short, The Vacant Lot is incredibly '90s.

twistedmentat posted:What is considered the song that kicked off New Jack Swing? If I had to guess, it would be Poison by Bell Biv Devoe. The earliest song I think of that had the "true" New Jack Swing sound is Keith Sweat's "I Want Her" from 1987. Teddy Riley starting the whole thing off with this track. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XqKRipnNSk "Poison" is from 1990. NJS was already in full effect by then. And yeah, Morris Day & the Time had a hand in shaping NJS, but I really think Timex Social Club and Club Nouveau (essentially the same band with different names. Timex Social Club broke up and reformed as Club Nouveau) influenced Riley into polishing that sound. Both songs are from 1986. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHpc8zsEunQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=injFSJRyxJw
