Free-For-All Friday Thread #8!
Time for this week’s Free-For-All Friday Thread!
Talk about whatever! Have fun!
If you need a little background noise, here’s a playlist stuffed with tons of 1980s TV show intros:
Happy Free-For-All Friday!
PS: If you missed it on the main page, we just dropped another Purple Stuff minisode.
Random He-Man Episode!
I only have a minute tonight, but I’m leaving you in good hands:
Here’s a random episode of Masters of the Universe. May it make your Thursday night feel like a Friday night. (More likely a Thursday afternoon, but don’t go blaming He-Man. He didn’t pick that time slot.)
Clue VCR Mystery Game!
I wanted a relaxing video for tonight, so naturally my brain jumped to the videocassette from the Clue VCR Mystery Game.
My parents received it as a Christmas present in 1985, from someone who evidently didn’t know them very well. They never touched the thing.
I inherited the game by default, though I never once played it, nor even had any idea how TO play it.
Years later, I purchased a VCR for my bedroom, and that weird tape became my preferred source for background noise. It didn’t play out like a “real” film, but between the macabre sets, random bouts of thunder and everyone getting murdered, it felt enough like a horror movie to pass as one.
I’m sure many of you have seen the Tim Curry film. Picture this as the super serious made-for-television version of it. I used to just let it play and go about my business, happy that I had some spooky ambiance to paint boring evenings with exhilarating coats of dread.
Bart’s Nightmare!
Here’s a playthrough of The Simpsons: Bart’s Nightmare, for the Super Nintendo. I adored this game!
I have no idea what the consensus is, but this was one of my all-time favorite SNES carts. I found the game extremely challenging and couldn’t beat it, but the levels were so much fun that I never became too frustrated to stop trying.
