Ultimate 80's Memories Thread - Part 2 - The 80s Strikes Back

I shared a room with my older brother until he left for college. He had a tape/radio alarm clock and he would always use Big Time by Peter Gabriel to wake up. I can't tell you how many times I woke up quick to Peter saying "hi there" followed by the crack of a snare and into Big Time. I still freeze up when I hear that song.

oh and My parents would let me stay up at night until Dallas started so I could hear the theme song before I went to bed.
 
How many of you guys remember these?

Dino-Riders:


Kenner's Bone Age toys:


TYCO Super Blocks:

Never have been able to solve one. But it's fun to keep around on the coffee table to mess with every once in a while.

Overall, Beyond the Gates is a wickedly fun little trip down memory lane, back into the good ‘ol days of 1980s cult classics, like The Gate, The Beyond, and Re-Animator. Its light and playful atmosphere makes it not only one of the most enjoyable films to play at the Los Angeles Film Festival thus far, but also a film that clearly can be watched over and over again, specifically at home, on the couch with friends, a bowl of popcorn, and the lights dimmed. Director Jackson Stewart has burst onto the scene with a very exciting debut feature film, and it will be thrilling to see what he brings fans of ‘80s nostalgia next, especially if he sticks with the same core group of actors and extremely talented special effects people on his next endeavor.
 
This was a few block from my old office. Used to beat the shit out of Double Dragon at lunch.
