So the Rocketeer turned TWENTY last week%26hellip; seriously? It seems like just yesterday the movie was premiering, and getting its ass overshadowed into oblivion by Terminator 2 and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Several of us here at GR happen to care a great deal about Disney%26rsquo;s tragic, yet valiant stab at the superhero genre (pre Marvel acquisition) and think it deserves another shot at stardom. Unfortunately, we didn%26rsquo;t do it any favors by FAPing both the NES and SNES games from that fateful year of failure. The NES game is forgivable, but Jesus Christ, wait until you see the SNES version%26hellip;

Okay, perhaps our boyhood hearts were a tad wrong about the NES version holding up to time. But with rad commercials like this one, can you blame us?
