The quinessential suburban toy. I remember getting the American Girl catalogs and leafing through them for hours at a time, wishing I could have all the dolls and their expensive-ass accessories. These were really more like collectors items than playthings, but try telling that to a 7-year old me. I owned Samantha- who, for the record, is the prettiest. Their gapteeth and opening-closing eyes were a little creepy, though.

Ladyhawke is a 1985 fantasy film directed by Richard Donner, starring Matthew Broderick, Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pfeiffer.
In medieval Europe a thief called “The Mouse” escapes the dungeons of Aquila, setting in motion a chain of events that may save or destroy a beautiful woman and a brave captain. The two lovers are doomed to lifelong separation by a demonic curse invoked by the corrupt and jealous Bishop of Aquila: by day Isabeau is transformed into a real hawk (the “Ladyhawke” of the title), while at night Navarre becomes a black wolf. But the monk Imperius has found a way to break the curse, if the Mouse can get them back into Aquila.

I look back at all of those sketch comedic commercials that aired on the Amanda Show and laugh. The one scene from the Amanda Show that always stuck out the most in my brain was Meatloaf Crunch! You’ll have to see the vid to know what I mean if you don’t know what this is.

I drank these as a kid – begged my mom to buy them after seeing the commercials on TV. They came in several different flavors but raspberry and root beer were my favorites. Soooo delicious! Haven’t seen them in many many years…

From Wikipedia:
The player plays as a Super Solver who must navigate the three levels of Treasure Mountain to collect treasures and keys to advance to the next level. In each level there are three “clue words”, numerous treasures, and terrain features. Dropping coins in front of terrain matching two of the clue word descriptions would reveal a treasure. The terrain feature matching all three words contained the key to the next level.
To find the clue words, the player had to catch elves who are carrying scrolls with nets and solve a simple word or math problem. Catching any elf with a net gets you 1 coin, solving the problem on the scroll awards the player a further 2 coins. If the player has fewer than 4 coins (the amount needed to buy new nets) coins will randomly appear on the level, making it impossible to “lose” at Treasure Mountain. 5 nets are acquired at the cost of four coins. In harder levels, some elves have been brainwashed by the Master of Mischief, who cast magic pixie-dust which, when hitting the player, deducts one coin.
