Action League Now!


Submitted by Alain C

From Wikipedia:

Action League Now! is a stop motion children’s television series that was originally part of All That and KaBlam! on Nickelodeon, and was later spun off into its own short-lived show. It was made using “chuckimation” (a combination of stop-frame animation and live-action shots where things are simply thrown or dropped into frame or wiggled around to simulate talking). The series follows the adventures of a superhero league, composed of various action figures, toys, and dolls. The show was created by Will McRobb, Robert Mittenthal, and Albie Hecht.

Most episodes took place in a house of an unseen resident. Most of the characters were voiced by personalities from radio station WDVE in Pittsburgh.

Chip’s Challenge


Submitted by WerewolfCyote

From Wikipedia:

Chip’s Challenge is a tile-based, puzzle video game for several systems, including the hand-held Atari Lynx, Amiga, ZX Spectrum,[1] DOS, and Windows (included in the Microsoft Entertainment Pack and Best of Microsoft Entertainment Pack). The original game was designed by Chuck Sommerville, who also made about a third of the levels.[2] Most of the conversions from the Atari Lynx original to other formats were carried out by Images Software of Fareham.

The premise of the game is that high-school nerd Chip McCallahan has met Melinda The Mental Marvel in the school science laboratory and must navigate through Melinda’s “Clubhouse” (a series of increasingly difficult puzzles) in order to prove himself and gain membership to the very exclusive Bit Buster Club.

Buckaroo


Submitted by Sean A

From Wikipedia:

Buckaroo is a game of physical skill, intended for children aged four and above. Buckaroo is made by Milton Bradley, a division of toy giant Hasbro.

Play centres around a simple articulated plastic model of a mule named Roo. The mule begins the game standing on all four feet, with just a blanket on its back. Players take turns placing various items onto the mule’s back. They must do so very gently, as a delicate spring mechanism inside the mule will be triggered by excess vibration – if it is triggered, the mule bucks up on its front legs, throwing off all the accumulated items. The player who triggered this buck is knocked out of the game, and play resumes. The winner is the last player remaining in the game. In the (unlikely) event that a player manages to place the last item onto the mule’s back without it bucking, that player is the winner.

From Wikipedia:

Robert Clark “Bob” Seger (born May 6, 1945) is an American rock musician and singer-songwriter.

As a locally successful Detroit-area artist, he performed and recorded as The Bob Seger System throughout the 1960s. By the early 1970s, he had dropped the “System” from his recordings, and continued to strive for national success as a solo artist. In 1976, he achieved national fame with two albums, the studio record Night Moves and the live record Live Bullet. His backing band from 1975 was known as “The Silver Bullet Band”, an evolving group of Detroit-area musicians. He also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, which backed him on several of his best selling singles and albums.
