Back in the late 2000s, Hasbro produced a 5-episode direct-to-video dub of Naruto Shippuden, called "The Adventures of The Yellow Haired Warrior". It was more dedicated to children, since all of their episodes had most inappropriate stuff cut out. The series' theme song was a hip hop tune which only …

Stumbled upon an Amazon.com listing of this cancelled video game and bought it. I placed this on my Nintendo Switch and the title card showed Mario and his best friend Cappy walking on a globe. And I played the whole game. I remember the final boss being Bowser in disguise …
Anyone remember that bizarre game show from the 90s? It was in Japanese and contestants would do these insane obstacle courses, but here's the kicker - it was all in a giant house. I can’t find clips ANYWHERE and it’s driving me nuts. It had this cult following for a …
In 1982, Warner Bros. Home Video issued 5 VHS tapes of Roundabout, a series of preschool oriented shows teaching children life lessons, such as sharing is caring and more. The series had 2 episodes in each VHS tape, and if I could remember correctly, the series also used to air …
ok here's one. Growing up I distinctly remember a cereal that had a maze game on the back of the box. you navigated through a jungle with some temple vibes. Been trying to figure out what the cereal was for years, pretty sure it was only around in the early …
This has been itching my brain for years now. 'Lazy Daze', it was called, an obscure cartoon from the late 80s where the days of the week were personified as a family. I think it was pretty educational, teaching kids about time and stuff. There's like no evidence it ever …
Help! Trying to find an old RTS game from the early 2000s, it was a freeware thing, looked like a starcraft clone but it was all robots? it had a weird name like 'RoboConflict' or 'MetalMayhem'... used to download it off those '1000 games!' CDs. if anyone can remember the …
The '90s yielded a ton of pilot episodes for cartoons that never made it to full series. I've been on the hunt for one in particular: 'DaisyHead'. It was about a girl with a flower for a head, and the implications of that in a world similar yet not like …
I’ve been compiling a database of 90s soda commercials and there’s this one ad that’s eluding me. It’s for a brand I think was called 'Zap Cola' - had this radical, extreme sports theme with BMX, surfers, and a catchy jingle. Any 90s kids remember this or did I dream …
Hey fellow lost media mates, I'm on the hunt for any material related to 'Etherbound', an RPG that was supposed to come out for the original PlayStation but got scrapped. Supposed to have a groundbreaking AI and a non-linear storyline - pretty avant-garde for its time. It was developed by …
Y'all ever heard a story about a radio station that supposedly broadcasted government secrets on accident? A mate swears his uncle has a recording of a station from the 70s that went rogue for one night, spilling classified stuff. Says after that night, it was like nothing happened. I know …
So my kid keeps asking for his favorite show with 'the blue dog and the laughing moon'. Says he watched it at his cousin’s place but idk what he’s on about. Need help before he drives me bonkers. It's prob from the 2000s, gotta have a blue dog in it …
Ok, this is for all bibliophiles out there. I need help finding a book series I used to check out from the library when I was a kid. It was this detective series, something along the lines of 'The Adventures of Penrose the Mathematical Cat'. Each book tackled a new …
Guys, this might be a weird one. But my family used to make this spaghetti sauce that my mom swore was from an old commercial. It had a jingle and everything. She passed away, and we never got the recipe written down, but I remember it was chunkier than most, …
My grandad used to talk about a film he saw as a kid - a featurette called 'The Forgotten'. A story about a man who wakes up in a town where nobody can see him. Spooky stuff. Thing is, there's no record anywhere of such a film. He's insistent it …
I've been ripping and cataloging old rave tapes from the late 90s and I've hit a wall. There's this one set with an absolute banger of a track, no MC, just pure, electronic bliss. None of the usual music ID apps are working. Got a distinct, repetitive vocal sample like …
Guys, I stumbled upon an office clearing out and they had these old animation cells - looked like they were from the 80's or 70's? Superhero stuff mostly. I’ve got pics but can’t post atm. Any idea if these r like the real deal or reproductions? I’m not familiar with …

there was this weird short film i saw on public access tv sometime around '95. animation was like choppy cgi, story about an astronaut crash landing on a planet with talking plants or smth. under 10 minutes, super surreal. ring any bells for anyone?
So, we all know 'Blaster Master' for the NES, right? Classic. But rumors say there was an unofficial PC port made by a Russian dev team way back in the 90s, with extra levels and totally different soundtracks. Some forums say it existed, but no one seems to have proof …
With the digital age in full swing, we often forget the little things from the analog era, like the promotional tapes and quirky low-budget ads local video rental stores used to have. Remember those? I've been compiling a list but it's nowhere near complete. They often featured staff recommendations, local …
This is a real shot in the dark, but I gotta try. Back in '92, there was this interview with a band named 'The Real McCoy' on some obscure radio station. They talked about the influence of techno in mainstream music—it was like prophetic. But more than that, they played …
ugh, been on a quest to complete my collection of Retro Game Magazine and i'm only missing issue #27. it's like it disappeared from the face of the earth! if anyone's got scans or even just the cover so i know what to hunt for, pls hmu!
Not many people know this, but there was a director's cut for the final episode of 'Beetleborgs'. It supposedly had an alternative ending that completely changed the show's finale. A few VHS copies were circulated at comic conventions in the early 2000s, but have since vanished. If anyone has a …
There was this cartoon I remember watching as a kid called 'Cosmic Critters'. It had these weird alien animals that fought to save their planet. It was super colorful and I remember the theme song was a total banger. But I can't find anything online - no clips, no episodes, …
There is this indie film from the late '80s, 'Moonlight Desires', that only ever aired at a single film festival. It’s about a group of friends who discover a cryptic radio signal that changes their lives. I've heard it was a work of art that got buried because the creator …
guys, hear me out. in the craze of the late 90s there was a tamagotchi spin-off called ‘Digipals’. They were supposed to link up to a website that let you explore a digital world or something. My cousin had one, I swear, but it seems like there’s zero trace of …
Does anyone here remember 'The Wandering Minstrels'? They dropped an album in '74 called 'Echoes of Yesterday' - but it never hit the mainstream. Rumor has it there were like, 100 cassettes made before they broke up. No digital copies, no re-releases. If you’re into folk rock with a psychedelic …
lol remember pogs? bet you didn’t know they were a social experiment by the government. to teach kids capitalism, or something. trade, value, the whole deal. my older bro says he had a rare slammer that could control minds. pretty sure he was just messing with me but hey, maybe …
OK so in the early '00s this artist was going around and snapping Polaroids of random people on the streets, right? They had this haunting, candid vibe to 'em. The series was called 'Faces from the Fringe'. It was on exhibition once but then the dude disappeared and the photos …
