>> Be sure to check out RetroJunk's webpages !! <<

*must get more He-man..* Seriously, which other cartoon (or any series for that matter) has as addictive and brilliant intro as in He-Man...

Now did they make psychedelic cartoons in the 80s or what?
I am eternally bitter that I never got a He-Man figure.
Instead, I got this cheaply-imitated version figure.
When I'm superrich I'm gonna collect the whole He-Man set.
Yes. I rest my case here.

The Ruler Of The Arcades: Donkey Kong (1981)


Who can honestly say that they have never played this game?

It has Mario making his first appearance and a big monkey throwing barrels! Cool! And you have to save the girl from ending up to be Kong's bride! Awesome!
