From Wikipedia:

Billy Hoyle (Woody Harrelson) is a talented former college-level basketball player who makes a living hustling streetball players who assume he cannot play well because he is white. The ‘hustle’ is even more provocative because, although he appears ‘goofy’, Billy never plays-down his skill to increase the stakes; it is the African-American basketball players’ own assumptions that are at the root of the hustle. In the opening scene Sidney Deane (Wesley Snipes) loses a game to Billy in front of his friends on a Venice Beach, California, basketball court.

This makes me nostalgic not just for the game and old commercials but for a time when companies had no idea how to market video games, because the field was relatively new and the graphics were such a bad representation of the ideas behind them. Take a look at the art from boxes and manuals at the time for confirmation. “Really? That’s what an octorok is supposed to be?” Plus I’m pretty sure this actor hadn’t played the game when they shot this.

Knightmare was a televised version of Dungeons & Dragons (to at least attempt to draw a comparison). I grew up with this show and LOVED it, there were even parts that scared me half to death (the opening dungeon when you can hear the orcs running after the player!).

The game worked like this. The Dungeon Master instructed/guided four players (school children). Three would stay behind with the DM and one would then wear a large helmet and a sheild with a bag and would have to go into the dungeons. The fourth player couldn’t see and the remaining three would guide them and solve the puzzles. Players used to “die” and the three kids remaining would “disappear” I think I’ve only ever seen one team complete the whole dungeon and the sheild used to be an eye that the fourth player could activate. But I believe this was a later item that had to be “discovered” by the team before the player could wear it.

Micro Machines: The Original Scale Miniatures (called either “Micro Machines” or simply “Micros”) were a line of toys originally made by Galoob (now part of Hasbro) in the mid 1980s and throughout the 1990s. Micro Machines were tiny scale component style “playsets” and vehicles that were slightly larger than N scale. Although Micro Machines have not been sold in the United States in some years, newer models are available in the UK and Europe.

Baby Rollerblade made me want to learn how to Rollerblade- until she crossed over that line from the linoleum on the kitchen floor to the carpet in the living room and fell over onto one of her beautiful blond pigtails.

Was your Tie-Dye or NKOTB T-shirt too long for you? No problem. You just had to tie it in a knot or slide it through one of these stylish buckles. It allowed me to wear ladies size medium shirts with ease.

From Wikipedia:

The Uncle Floyd Show aired in the New Jersey and New York market from 1974 to 1998, for a time airing on the state wide PBS network, New Jersey Network. It can be read as a children’s show, or a parody of a children’s show. Much of the humor has a twist aimed at adults in the style of Soupy Sales and Pee Wee Herman. The show featured slapstick comedy, puppetry, some audience participation, and piano music. Floyd’s puppet sidekick (actually a ventriloquial figure) was named Oogie.

This is a cartoon I remember from my youth. It was simple in design as the character as well as his surrounding were basically a single white line on the background., and also based on a simple idea of the animator tormenting his character in many devious (and funny) ways. Even though years have passed the cartoon lost nothing from its humour, but they don’t show it on TV any more and only recently I found out there are episodes on the internet.
