This thread is for random nostalgia and other such things that you haven't thought about in a while that you suddenly get reminded of.

DINO RIDERS.
Motherfucking lazer dinos. My mom had to bribe me with one of these to get one of my first haircuts. I think I only ever had the one, or maybe a few more. A brief wiki search indicates that this whole thing was pretty short lived.
I swear we've got a thread about this, but I can't remember.
Anyway DINO RIDERS motherfucker! Those were the best, I had damn near everything out of the first run. The bad guys were the best! I still have one of the little Hammerhead dudes somewhere.
They started going all "Ice Age" a few years into it and everybody lost interest. The TV show was in the same block of shows as the old-old Robocop cartoon and the "Pryde of the X-Men" pilot the Konami game was apparently modeled off of!

Theme song by "Fleetwood Mac", apparently.
I thought there might be but fuck if I can remember.
There's a toy thread I guess, but the last four pages are all Buttcheeks posts.
Yeah, this isn't supposed to be that specific. It's all about that random conversation where your friend goes 'blah blah blah blah' and you're all 'BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH. I used to be all about that shit. I completely forgot about it until just now.' Then you come here and post about it.
I was actually trying to find something else when I saw a pic of this. I had completely forgotten about it and then memories washed over me like something out of a cheesy movie flashback scene.

My brother had one and the bastard would never let me play with it. I thought it was the hottest fucking toy. Eventually, I did get to play with it. But only after he broke it so it didn't work anymore.
Oh shit, I remember Dino Riders. I had all those guys.
This is what I'm talkin bout.Quote:

I remember being SO HYPED about this because of the constant commercials; I finally saw it at a friend's house and it was kind of like, "oh."
Fucking great commercial, though!
