Any UK guys remember Knightmare? It was a weird challenge show set in a medieval fantasy world, 1 kid would have to put on a helmet so he couldn't see and then they'd super-impose him on a bunch of hand-drawn environments while 3 of his friends would watch on a monitor and had to guide him through the dungeon which was full of monsters, traps and evil or benevolent NPCs. Really unique concept that's stuck with me for years, the best thing was that the game was utterly merciless and few teams actually made it through. Here's Spoony's review if anyone's interested;

That's still about a billion times better than the fourth album they made with the two original singers. Holy fuck did that album suck ass. I, for one, am actually looking forward to their new album.

I disagree. I liked some songs in that album like Beautiful Morning and Unspeakable.
oh my god Trapper Keepers. I remember wandering around stores with my mom in late August looking for the perfect trapper keeper for the new school year.
-edit-
I just realized how fucking horrible the art on some of the trapper keepers was. :lol

Unspeakable was the only good song on the album IMO. Everything else was trash. But at least we can agree that their first two albums were their best
Edit: Here's another one of their new songs, featuring some rapper. Ace of Base - Mr. Replay (demo)

I still have a bunch of these, worth it for the nostalgia of 90s advertising and the comics section which tended to be pretty good. There was this multi-issue Disney Afternoon crossover comic that was pretty awesome, and in the late 90s they ran the first set of Bone comics.
I know this is from the 80s, but my friend across the street had one. Spent a lot of time playing SMB/Duck Hunt, DuckTales 2, Mega Man 2, and Super Mario Bros 2.
This was THE fucking game when I was kid, every one I knew had the shareware demo but no one had the full game :lol To this day I still have the ins and outs of the first ep and the christmas versions memorized. Finding the demo for the sequel (which I had no idea was even coming) on snap.com was fucking mindblowing. The next day I acted out the intro cutscene with my brother to my friends, I was a fucking dork :lol
I would kill for a DVD collection of these
This was my favorite movie as a kid. I only saw it once, haven't seen it since but it was my favorite. I would check out the novels based on the movie at the library.
Ohhhh man this fucking book, this fucking book. I had this and the sequel the World Beneath. I don't remember what happened in it, but the illustrations were the best.
As a kid I consumed pretty much all dino-related media We're Back, Primal Rage, I saw the T-Rex skeleton at Fernbank. Everything except Jurassic Park. I don't know how it happened.

But for us Canadian kids, the ultimate nostalgia:
"Up next, we got Pokemon. Then, Dragon Ball Z!"

I use to watched these guys every day after school.
The video games, the toys and the cartoons... how I loved the cartoons. So many fond memories
I loved this show
Batman The Animated Series
Still one of my favorite animated shows ever. It holds up pretty well today thanks the quality animation.

I came into this thread thinking of that. (Ya, I was technically a teen watching that stuff, but fuck social norms.)Anth0ny said:But for us Canadian kids, the ultimate nostalgia:
One thing I must say from observing these threads... the gulf between Early-'90s and Late-'90s nostalgia is fucking HUGE.

Not only that, but comics and cartoons went through sizable metamorphosis midway through the '90s, and the "alternative" culture kind of left the mainstream towards the end of the '90s too.iidesuyo said:
