Remembering the things that made us.

School Lunch Pizza - I have no idea why I wanted pizza day to happen more frequently. It was often luke warm and congealed by the time it made it to my tray.

Clash of the Titans (1981) - One of my favorite PG movies with boobies. Perseus must solve a number of quests to save his true love, Andromeda. In the process, he sees the breasts of mortals, goddesses, and a medusa before cutting off her head and stoning a Titan with it.

Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers (1993) - Among Sierra game fans, the Gabriel Knight series is especially loved for its characters, elaborate storytelling, and fresh Louisiana supernatural background.

This trend was really odd, though with watchmakers like Swatch revisioning watches as a fashion statement, it kind of makes sense. Kind of. I mean, how ridiculous were we, wearing several watches up and down our arms?

Crash Test Dummies - "God Shuffled His Feet" https://t.co/d4L7g33HFM

Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985) - First Blood was a dramatic portrayal of John Rambo as illustrated in David Morrell's novel. This film has nearly nothing to do with that one. Rambo goes into Vietnam to rescue POWs with explosive firepower and massive machine guns.

Persona 2: Eternal Punishment (2000) - Eternal Punishment was released in the US on the PlayStation, but without Innocent Sin, there were some holes in the plot. Maya, a playable character in Innocent Sin is the main protagonist.

Valley speak was everywhere in the 80s. From gagging me with a spoon to adding "like" to every other word to the ridiculous lilt at the end of every sentence, Valley Speak was all the rage. Frank Zappa's song "Valley Girl" and the 1983 film did not help the situation.

They Might Be Giants - "Minimum Wage" - For the "nobody wants to work anymore" crowd. https://t.co/iznYDf8jHl

Weekend at Bernie's (1989) - Take one dead dude and two party guys who don't want anyone to know he's dead. And let the hilarity ensue.

Persona 2: Innocent Sin (1999) - Finally released in the West on the PSP, Innocent Sin characterizes the struggles between two high schools caught in supernatural shenanigans as rumors start to become reality. Recruit and fight demons with your friends.

Judge's Guild 1980 Dungeons & Dragons Club - The Judge's Guild has been publishing D&D works since the 1970s. Here is their high school D&D group. https://t.co/MmPo2NNIHd

XTC - "Dear God" https://t.co/9naA64o3KN

Teen Wolf (1985) - When Alex P. Keeton grows hair in unwanted places, hilarity ensues as he goes into full wolf-mode as a high school basketball player who learns that even being a hairy, scary wolf cannot stop the clock at the big game.

EcoQuest: The Search for Cetus (1991) - One part educational package, one part game. Or two parts game, I guess. EcoQuest had a good message and was a fun adventure game that I've never replayed. Also co-designed by Jane Jensen!

System Violators (Mid-80s computer club) - I have absolutely no verification for this photo I nabbed from Reddit, but it LOOKS like a computer club from the mid-80s and I kind of want to be their friend.

Wayne's World (1992) - One of the few Saturday Night Light films that actually worked. Wayne and Garth were fun through the entire film...unlike most of them that had a one-joke pony spread through two hours of boredom. Plus Tia Carrera!

Legend of the River King (Game Boy Color 1999) - A RPG where fishing is the main gameplay element instead of a side-quest. Sign me up!
