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…

Treasure Mountain!


Submitted by Eva Y

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.

The Human League


Submitted by MSMJFANFOREVER

From Wikipedia:

The Human League are a British synthpop band. Formed in Sheffield in 1977, they achieved popularity after a key change in line-up in the early 1980s. They have continued recording and performing with moderate commercial success throughout the 1980s up to the present day.

Originally an avant-garde all-male synthesizer-based group from Sheffield, the only constant band member since 1977 is vocalist and songwriter Philip Oakey. Since 1987, the band has essentially been a trio of Oakey and long-serving female vocalists Joanne Catherall and Susan Ann Sulley (who joined the band in 1980), with various sidemen. The Human League have influenced many electro-pop, other synthpop, and mainstream acts including Madonna, Moby[1] and Little Boots [2]. They have been sampled and covered by various artists including Ministry of Sound, Craig David, George Michael and Robbie Williams.[3]

Since 1978, they have released nine studio albums, twenty six singles (including 8 UK top 10 singles with 2 number one singles in the US/UK) and played over 350 live concerts. The Human League have sold an estimated 20 million records worldwide

Raptor: Call of the Shadows


Submitted by Tachyon

From Wikipedia:

Raptor: Call of the Shadows, or just Raptor as it was usally called, was a 1994 2-D vertical-scrolling shooting game where the player took the part of a mercenary fighter pilot blowing up wave after wave of other mercenaries working for various MegaCorps. The thing that set it apart from other airplane-themed scrolling shoot-em-ups was the fact that it wasn’t a 3-lives continous play game; after a level you went back to the hanger and could upgrade your Raptor jet with stronger sheilds, better guns, and more life with the money earned from each enemy downed. And you could choose your avatar!
I remember the question me and my brother would ask anyone who showed us their computer was “Does it have Raptor?”. It usually did, at least mostly the shareware version anyway. Even the old Macintoshes at our dad’s office hade Raptor installed, which is where he’d leave us when he needed to watch us. A classic PC game, and one of the best 2-D shooters ever.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas


Submitted by Dusty D

From Wikipedia:

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a 1998 film adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson’s 1971 novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream. The film, directed by Terry Gilliam, stars Johnny Depp as Raoul Duke and Benicio del Toro as Dr. Gonzo.
Previous attempts to adapt the book into a film included Jack Nicholson and Marlon Brando as Duke and Gonzo. At one point, Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi were considered for the duo; John Cusack was also almost cast. Animator/filmmaker Ralph Bakshi, Martin Scorsese, and Oliver Stone all tried unsuccessfully to direct an adaptation. Thompson met Depp and was convinced no one else could play him. Filmmaker Alex Cox was eventually hired to direct with Depp and Del Toro committed to starring in the film, but the filmmaker had “creative differences” with Thompson over the script treatment as documented in the documentary Breakfast with Hunter. Gilliam was subsequently hired and made the film with the writer’s approval.
