@iluvmyDS: Fun fact, Larry Bird did not play for the 76ers. He was a Celtic his whole career.

did anyone else notice the laser coming out of the robots crotch and exploding the middle space dragon's head on the MagMax box? If that's not epic I don't know what is.

Brilliant. Simply brilliant. I laughed, I cried, I winced, but in the end, I loved.

The 80's truly were a dark and awesome time for us all.

You completely left out Clash At Demonhead, Bad Dudes, Karnov, T&C Surf, Anticipation, Gotcha...need I go on?

Still, you got some pretty damn good ones. Great piece!
