Ahhhh, the good old days...

I would have given 5 stars, but I wanted them all in the original 8-bit graphics, not the 'remakes', for the sake of nostalgia. That said, I love playing this with my kids and even my wife! We laugh at the great humor and gross situations. I also really like the fact that you have to think creatively and aren't spoon fed the correct actions.

How I miss the old school.  Shan has to be one of the most underrated MC's from that bygone era.  I suspect a. he liked it that way and b. laughed all the way to the bank as his records seem to have done well.  I'm not sure if any hit platinum, but on the street it was pure gold.  This collection has all of the classics, that I recall.  The bridge being my favorite as well as left me lonely.  The remix of left me lonely is tight.  The liner has a lot of good information as well, especially about a DJ from the college station WERS in Boston.  I remember thast stations and that DJ.  Yeah, the good old days.

I have so totally enjoyed reading the collection. I had read some before but not all.
How much fun there was in the good old days! With lots of work thrown in!

This music takes me back to the good old days when life was simple and encumbered. Clean and elegant this music has no distracting clutter.

I sure do miss the good old days. This was loosely based on an actual sting by The Las Vegas Metro Police Dept back in the 70's. The cops actually had a party for all those caught up in their sting. Dom DeLuise and Susan Pleshet are great together. A fun old time movie.

I loved these games when they came out back in the day.  So I for one am glad I could find a copy and get it.  Good stuff, peace.

Takes you back to the old days when TV was quite a bit funnier than it is today. ( Cousin Itt made me write this, but I would have anyway)

Dire Straits.
Get back into your XR2 / XR3i days (Brits will know what I mean) and remember the 80s for the hedonistic times they were.  Pipe and slippers next...

Ah, nostalgia. I can't tell you how freaking excited I was to see that, once more, Count Chocula, Frankenberry, and Boo Berry were available to buy! The sugar! The color! The flashback to my youth!

Well, I'm here to say that, while these cereals were good for what they were and a nice sweet treat, they bear little resemblance to the old formula of these cereals. And trust me, I remember them WELL.

Maybe the old formula had too many (yummy!) chemicals. Maybe it's just a matter of not being broke, but General Mills wanting to "fix it", anyway. But, it's almost like going from Coke to New Coke. Okay, not THAT horrific, but you get the gist!

"Old" Count Chocula's cereal - the same for Boo Berry and Frankenberry - was of a different consistency. And, unlike the current version, it was not just different colors but the same cereal. No, Count Chocula lived up to its name! Not only was the cereal chocolatey, so too were the marshmallows. "Old" Frankenberry followed suit, strawberry cereal (a deep pink color - almost a rose color versus the neon pink of now) and pink strawberry-flavored marshmallows. And, finally, "Old" Boo Berry was...well...blue. Maybe unnatural. But bah, natural is overrated! It *was* blue with a blueberry flavor and light blue blueberry-flavored marshmallows!

While "new" Frankenberry and "new" Count Chocola kept the cereal color, the marshmallows have lost the distinct flavor of the cereal it was for and are "just" marshmallows, and have different colors than the original. And "new" Boo Berry is now a dark purple, with white marshmallows with blue, no longer "blueberry" flavored.

Not to say, if it was any other cereal, it was "bad", but it is NOT what I stuffed into my little kid body in the '70s.  Bummer.  :-(  (And I have ZERO recollection of Frute Brute or Yummy Mummy! Fakers! Ahem!)

I guess it's true. You can't go home again. The kid in me weeps for the old formula, sad that it's just gone. :-(

But if you're not as anal retentive and just want the thrill of a sugar rush, these cereals still do the job.

At least Lucky Charms hasn't forsaken me yet!

As good as I remembered as a kid...and a bit addictive!

Here's a blast from the ever-loving past! Man, this brings back the memories.... first got this in the 80s and I barely knew how to handle it then. Took quite a few listens to get used to it but the genius is unmistakable. If you're into The Gun Club, Tex and the Horseheads, Blood on the Saddle - any of that intense early 80s LA punk scene, you should know this fits right in there. I just wish more of that stuff was available now. Damn shame that its been allowed to slip away. So glad I found this again... still as good now as it was 30 odd years ago!

Just as I remembered It! Brought me right back to my childhood. The music quality was ok, not excellent. But the record I had 40 years ago was scratchy, too. Nice bit of nostalgia. I appreciated the inclusion of the interview with Walt, as well.

An enjoyable read, and a trip down memory lane for those who grew up in the area.

This album lives up to it's title, for the most part.  It certainly brings back memories.  The sound quality is excellent: good enough to hear Minmei miss a few notes! I got it for the nostalgia value, and I got my money's  worth.
