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 (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.

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.

Rocky II is the 1979 sequel to Rocky, a motion picture in which an unknown boxer had been given a chance to go the distance with the World Heavyweight Champion. Sylvester Stallone, Carl Weathers, Burgess Meredith, Burt Young and Talia Shire reprised their original roles. Although this film was released in 1979, the ring announcers say that it takes place ten months after Rocky’s first fight with Apollo Creed, putting the Rocky II fight with Apollo in November 1976. The Ring Magazine heavyweight championship belt makes its first appearance in the series.

The Color of Money is a (1986) film adapted from a 1984 novel by American writer Walter Tevis, continuing the story of pool shark Eddie “Fast Eddie” Felson, with Paul Newman reprising his role from the movie version of The Hustler (1961). The film and the novel share as their premise the continuation of Eddie Felson’s story at a point more than 20 years after the events depicted in The Hustler, and with Eddie not having been active on the pool circuit during that time. But aside from this, they have nothing in common beyond their title. Although Tevis did produce a screenplay for The Color of Money that was based on his novel, the filmmakers ultimately decided not to use Tevis’s story at all, and instead crafted an entirely new one for the movie.[1][2]

In addition to Newman, the film also stars Tom Cruise as Fast Eddie’s protege and rival Vincent Lauria, plus Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Helen Shaver and John Turturro. The screenplay was written by Richard Price, and the film was directed by Martin Scorsese, featuring an original score by Robbie Robertson.

The title is a reference to the traditional green cloth (or baize) of a pool table being reminiscent of American currency notes.
