What a steal!

So Fandango/Vudu streaming service where you buy or rent movies had this set on sale Called Bugs Bunny 80th Anniversary Collection: A Wild Hare. WHAT A VALUE! 60 cartoons from the 40’s-60’s then there’s one recent one. The quality is pretty good IMO for cartoons this old. We see Elmer with his shotgun going nuts on Bugs, Bugs smoking a cigar, and the evolution of the character’s style/voice/attitude.

By today’s standards these cartoons would not have even been drawn by hand let alone have the content that you see in some of the episodes. It’s good to see the cartoons I grew up with still being aired in the 80s! Next thing ya know the 90’s roll around and everything has to be P freaking C and cartoons like these get locked up and tossed off the air for crap like iCarly or some other real-life kids show. However, in place of these, we did get some great shows like Animaniacs and the Disney Afternoon!

This set is well worth it to any Bugs / WB lover! For $19.99 ya get 60 episodes all going from Mar. 2 1940 up to a few in the 1960’s and only one that’s modern as of 1997 which is good but shouldn’t even be there given the fact these are the classics! Check out my screencaps below!

The sounds of arcade history!

I had this file back in the early 2000’s and would often put it on while playing my home made MAME Cabinet before everyone had these prefab things. I had to sell it before I moved but to this day I hear this audio and remember the good ol days. Oh and I’d also put on Journey at a level you could hear it just under this file. Take a listen and remember there were places filled with this much magic!

How to pick up girls at the Arcade by Vidot circa 1983!

So I’m out there on the interwebs and just looking for some vintage material and somehow stumbled upon this great article! For men looking to pick up women at your local arcade (OH WAIT THEY DON’T EXIST ANYMORE!) give this article a read!

Well after reading this article I can now say I’m well versed in the event I come across a Ms. Pac-Man machine at a local mall or a pizza joint…

Kickstarters

So I’ve taken to getting involved in Kickstarter campaigns for art books. The first one I have supported at the 40-pound amount is:

Arcade Decades – 80s Edition
With my pledge level, I get the following:

As a backer of the Arcade Decades – 80’s Edition Book you get a Physical copy of the whole book PLUS your name in the book itself as an official backer of the campaign. You will also receive a PDF of the book with this reward.

I’d love to get my hands on some of their miniature arcade games. Specifically Ms. Pac-Man but they are a bit expensive despite being super cool!!!

Up next is: NES Endings Compendium: Volume 2
For this one, I went with the two books book 1 and book 2 hardcover. I had 1 in softcover but I’m a sucker for hardcover books and that crispy page and ink combination. (that’s the old Art Director in me) Nothing like seeing work fresh off a press. This one was $44 at my level. Worth every penny for 2 x hardcover books of content I love to read about or glance at.

And last but not least a book that is officially licensed by CAPCOM! It’s a hand-drawn level guide to Mega Man 1 complete with artwork hand-drawn everything!! I was able to get in on the $99 level the goal was like 19k and within a day they were at over 50k! I was so lucky to get in on the $99 level I pledged as soon as this one hit my inbox. I can’t resist a good Mega Man book plus an original art sheet from the book hand drawn and inked which will find its way into a frame. They had to jump through all the hoops with CAPCOM to get the license and with numbers like this I hope they continue to do more books like 2,3,4 etc..

So that’s what’s up not with my minimal extra funds. I’ll be posting reviews as they come in throughout the year. They will be posted in Books/Movie Reviews.

Sesame Street Classics!!!

So I have been searching for the video of the little guy in the glass that moves around called the Teeny Superhero Guy! I found it finally on YouTube along with the pinball number counter! Take a trip with me down memory lane!

Here’s the ultra-cool pinball counter!

Do you remember these? They ran in the very very early 80’s and probably in the late ultra late 70’s. I just remember when they came on and I don’t know how I remember these but I’d stop whatever Star Wars toys or Hot Wheels I was playing with in my tracks to watch!
