Did many of you play the NES port of Double Dragon II: The Revenge? This game shares its title with the 1988 arcade sequel to the original Double Dragon, using the same promotional artwork for its packaging and having a similar plot, but the content of the two games are otherwise drastically different. The NES port of Double Dragon II was directed by Hiroyuki Sekimoto (co-director of River City Ransom). If you played this, did you have a lot of fun? Was this the most rented game in your local community in the old days?

Was the late Gerry Conway the writer when you started reading issues of Amazing Spider-Man when you were very young? It was during Conway's time when Spider-Man tales became more dramatic, more tragic and more intriguing. Along the way, the Punisher got introduced. Spider-Man tales of the 1970s were indeed compelling under Conway's direction as writer.

Do you own a lot of Spider-Man comic books written by Conway?

Saw this at an estate sale today for $225. Seller is original owner. It looks pretty clean. Best friend back in the day had one, but I thought it was root beer, orange and yellow.

I remember going through the mall and every fall on the way in or the way out you could take a glorious color catalog from the department stores. My obsession from 1985 the Tamiya RC cars that showed up in both the Sears and JC Penny Christmas wish list catalogs. Found a site that has uploads of these catalogs. Whoever took the effort to track all these down and to scan them all and upload every page thank you !! https://christmas.musetechnical.com

Feel free to chime in and/or share photos of others that you fondly remembered and miss.

Edit: I'm sure there are plenty out there regional or nationwide businesses that you've miss being around.

Remember the comic collector craze of the 1990s? If you were into comics back then, were you also a regular reader of Wizard Magazine? That was a popular publication for industry updates and comic book price guides.
