Garth Brooks


From Wikipedia:

Troyal Garth Brooks (born February 7, 1962) is an American country music artist. His eponymous first album was released in 1989; it peaked at #2 in the US country album chart and reached #13 on the Billboard 200 pop album chart. Brooks’s integration of rock elements into his recordings and live performances made him very popular and allowed him to dominate the country single and country album charts and quickly crossed over into the mainstream pop arena, exposing country music to a larger audience.[1]

Brooks has enjoyed one of the most successful careers in popular music history, breaking records for both sales and concert attendance throughout the 1990s. The RIAA has certified his recordings at a combined (128× platinum), denoting roughly 113 million U.S. shipments.[2] Garth Brooks still continues to sell well, from the period of April 5th 2008 – September 26th 2008, he sold 277,000 albums in the U.S. – according to Nielsen Soundscan, which took his album sales up to 68,051,000 – which makes him the best-selling artist in America since 1991, well over 11 million ahead of his nearest rival; The Beatles. [3] In the all-time chart, he is second only to The Beatles in the United States.[4] Brooks has released six albums that achieved diamond status in the United States, those being: Garth Brooks (10× platinum), No Fences (17× platinum), Ropin’ the Wind (14× platinum), The Hits (10× platinum), Sevens (10× platinum) and Double Live (21× platinum).[5] Since 1989, Brooks has released 19 records in all, which include; 9 studio albums, 1 live album, 4 compilation albums, 3 Christmas albums and 2 box sets, along with 77 singles. Brooks is estimated to have topped 220 million units in sales of singles and albums worldwide.

Little Nemo


Submitted by Sakuso L

From Wikipedia:

In 1990, Capcom produced a video game for the NES, titled Little Nemo: The Dream Master (known as Pajama Hero Nemo in Japan), a licensed game based on the 1989 film. The film would not see a US release until 1992, two years after the game’s US release, so the game is often thought to be a standalone adaptation of Little Nemo, not related to the film. An arcade game called simply Nemo was also released in 1989.[citation needed]

Throughout the years, various pieces of Little Nemo merchandise have been produced. In 1941, Rand, McNally & Co. published a Little Nemo children’s storybook. Little Nemo in Slumberland in 3-D was released by Blackthorne Publishing in 1987; this reprinted Little Nemo issues with 3-D glasses. A set of 30 Little Nemo postcards was available through Stewart Tabori & Chang in 1996. In 1993, as promotion for the 1989 animated film, Hemdale produced a Collector’s Set which includes a VHS movie, illustrated storybook, and cassette soundtrack. In 2001, Dark Horse Comics released a Little Nemo statue and tin lunchbox.

Granny’s Garden

Submitted by Ezrekia

Back in the 80s, computers were few and far between in English state primary schools. But when it came into your classroom, it was fully equipped with Granny’s Garden. You got about 2 attempts a year at solving the puzzle game, and very few people actually achieved it. But those who did achieve it never forgot that they did. Granny’s Garden makes the Zoombinis look positively hi-tech, but back in the day it was the most exciting thing ever to enter the classroom.

The Real World New York


4065874

From Wikipedia:

The Real World (retrospectively referred to as The Real World: New York, to distinguish it from subsequent installments of the series) is the first season of MTV’s reality television series The Real World, which focuses on a group of diverse strangers living together for several months in a different city each season, as cameras follow their lives and interpersonal relationships. The series was filmed from February 16 to May 18, 1992,[1] and made its television debut later that year. It was produced by Mary-Ellis Bunim and Jonathan Murray. This was the first of three seasons to be filmed in New York City. In 2001 the show made a repeat visit with The Real World: Back to New York, and in 2008, set its twenty-first season, The Real World: Brooklyn,[2] in the borough of Brooklyn. This makes New York City along with Los Angeles, the only two cities to be used as the setting of “The Real World” on more than one season.

Precious Places

Submitted by Leslie W

DUDE. Precious Places. Those awesome little plastic houses that came with the magnetic key that you used to move the little doll around. I remember seeing a commercial for these and absolutely losing it, knowing I HAD TO HAVE ONE. Then I got sick or lost a tooth or some other major traumatic event, and my mother produced a Precious Places playset out of her closet that had probably been hiding for my birthday. I rocked that Precious Moments house and skating pond like you wouldn’t believe.
