retrorussell #2 Posted July 3, 2017 I used to play Atari 2600 right after Knight Rider. I remember quite a few games of MOUSETRAP following right after. That stupid TV/Game switch would have to constantly be re-screwed in; we must have had screws that were the wrong size. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
retrorussell #3 Posted July 3, 2017 Cartoons I watched in the 80s included Saturday Supercade, Dungeons and Dragons, Thundercats, Inspector Gadget and Transformers. Playing games or my Texas Instruments TI-99 or Atari 2600 were often sandwiched around these shows. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fdr4prez #10 Posted July 9, 2017 I remember Manimal. Didn't it have only 6 episode and reused the same special effects scenes in each episode? I just looked and it says 8 episodes. I only recall watching the first episode and maybe the second. I certainly don't recall anything about them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fdr4prez #12 Posted July 9, 2017 I have made a karaoke version at the bar I go to on Thursday nights. Yes, I've sung it there a few times. Wow, is it a crowd favorite? I've never done karaoke before, but this would be one of the few tunes that I'd be willing to do 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
retrorussell #13 Posted July 9, 2017 Wow, is it a crowd favorite? I've never done karaoke before, but this would be one of the few tunes that I'd be willing to do A couple people definitely recognized it. A shame I don't have it on my computer anymore; maybe someday I can get it flash-drived off the bar's computer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Lathe26 #15 Posted July 9, 2017 I remember Star Blazers but only in fragments since I was in kindergarten at the time. Later, I had the theme song on my 486 computer, stored in VOC format (Creative Labs Sound Blaster format). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Black_Tiger #18 Posted July 10, 2017 I remember Manimal. Didn't it have only 6 episode and reused the same special effects scenes in each episode? Yeah, that's what I learned decades later thanks to the internet. At the time though, it was huge among my friends and seemed like the coolest concept for a show.
