Christmas '91 I got a NES, when the Super NES was all the rage. No complaints though, I spent the early months of '92 playing the original Mario trilogy.

What's the word on the street?

I just downloaded it and watched it for the first time since 1998. And, wow. I didn't get that it was an Altered States parody either, but it's still pretty interminable. Especially the montages while he's hallucinating. That must be one of the oddest things that made it on network TV before the last episode of Twin…
