Lookback - The Turtles Craze: Part 1 - Comics & Cartoons - BY PROTOTRON

8/17/2016

If you were alive in any way shape or form from about 1989 until 1995, then you could not have missed the worldwide phenomenon that was the Turtles craze. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were the most popular franchise of that time, and the marketing for it was insane. Just about every product could be purchased with a Turtles theme, from lunchboxes to underwear, and it tapped in to the minds of just about everyone in the 5-15 age range with it's superb blending of Ninja action and goofy 90's surf humour.

Best know for the 80's cartoon show and series of 90's live action films, they started out in a much darker origin than their kid friendly animation lets on.

The Turtles were created by Kevin Eastman & Peter Laird in 1984 and first appeared in a comic book published by Mirage studios. The actual creation of the turtles was (now famously) due to the two friends going out for dinner and a few beers, which led to Eastman drawing some half-cut ideas onto a napkin - a rare case of where the drunken "That's a great idea!" mentality actually paid off.

the toy stacks - jp/g.i. joe and werebears

The toy stacks repones with not one, but two galleries!

First up, we have a look at a unreleased G.I. Joe / Jurrassic Park figure named InGen Merc. This figure appears to have been part on a concept to have Jurrasic Park dinosaurs packaged with G.I. Joe scale and articulated figures.

Secondly, thanks to Paul Wardman, we have a look at The Were Bears, a toyline that really has no right to be as damn cool as it is. Click the links and have a look!

Final Fight vs Streets Of Rage  - BY PROTOTRON

8/9/2016

As debates go, there have been none quite so totally kicked to death than this one. Two absolute titans of their genre who have stood toe to toe with each other over the course of a quarter of a century. Who actually won is a question that isn't so easily answered, but we'll certainly try!

Final Fight, when mentioned, is generally taken as the first game, whereas Streets of Rage is seen more as a collective series, so as this debate could span a time frame which would see Connor MacLeod grow a bit grey and creaky, it's best to stick to some brief points focusing on the more famous titles of each. Mainly, the Final Fight arcade game vs the first two Streets of Rage games. We will however comment on the other entries in the series later on.

The History of Immortal Mayor Jackson - Part Two

8/6/2016

The following is nothing but a ridiculous look at the 1993 PC game Sim City. Take with the joy it is presented. Everything in these serious series of articles happened...after a fact.

In 1994. In Sim City 2000.  Whilst listening to the Mortal Kombat soundtrack on constant repeat.
