Crappy Old Stuff

- Full-size scans -

“...you basically have to race around various tracks and win.” - Bytes, a column that really had its finger on the pulse of mid 90′s gaming. Also, don’t worry about the 3DO; it’s going to be just fine.

The wait is finally over!

*crickets*

The Den Magazine Issue 9 in it’s entirety Yeah! Woo! Get hyped.

Searching for that perfect look for the holiday season? While also being trapped in 1994, and a child? Boy, have I got you covered!

I love how defiantly one of the kids must have protested the outfit he had chosen for him for it to get mentioned twice. Rory Murphy: truly the hero The Den Magazine needed.

Also, what’s with the quotation marks around The Prodigy but nothing else? *air quotes* Dance music? Whatever, kid. Now Boyzone: there’s real talent for you.

It’s only by scanning in these old magazines that I’ve been reminded of the travesty that Bird’s Double Thick Milkshake Mix is no longer a product. I never had the chocolate one much, but hot damn, the strawberry was freakin’ delicious, genuinely thick, AND you got to use a plastic shaker to mix it up like a cocktail. This was highly exciting stuff for an eleven-year-old fat kid. :D

Tragically, I don’t think this was actually available for very long though, maybe just a year or so, but it certainly left an impression - so much so that I’ve been desperately craving some ever since I laid eyes on this.

I wonder if thin Angel Delight would would do the trick. I’m guessing that’s pretty much what this was anyway...... Don’t judge me!

“What’s cool for Christmas?” Well, certainly nothing going on on this page.

Here’s a 1995 ad for Bootleg shoes - a shoe brand I can’t say I remember, but maybe I’m just not “street cred“ enough.

Dad jokes! You know, for kids!

The great Den Magazine digitization continues. So, who want’s to win a fantastic CD-I system?..... Anyone?

Squadala!

So, my quest to scan all the copies The Den Magazine I have is proceeding pretty slowly (much like everything else on this blog lately :D), but for the time of year that’s in it, how about a little 4 page teaser from the December 1994 issue? What are Boyzone’s holiday plans? What’s the deal with Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas? Does Dec like all the stuff on TV at Christmas? All will be revealed, and more!

Sure, a discontinued Lynx fragrance from the early 90′s. Who else is going to photograph that? At least two other people as it turns out, according to Google Image Search.

Now where was I? Ah yes, ham.
