Need help to get out of a brain fart...
on: December 08, 2003, 05:03:53 pm
'80's cartoon series / toys... main good guy had a red sports car with gull-wing doors that transformed the car into a flying car when open... there was also a neon-green sports bike that turned into a helicopter.... and all the guys had these visors or helmets or whatever that had laser beams, flamethrowers, and whatnot.... anyone? This is driving me bonkers! :p

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Hehehe - immediately after posting this thread I decided to see if I'd get anything from a Google image search for "helicopter motorcycle", and sure enough, the MASK BiKopter (? :p) showed up on the first page. :)

Just finished browsing through the pictures of all the toys... dangit, why did I get rid of them!! They were sooo cool!

Speaking of old toys, did/does anyone have any StarCom? ;)

I still have a bunch of the comics somewhere. Doubt they are worth anything (although later they did merge with the Eagle which might bump up the price) :D

My back-in-the-day was an old Mac Plus with a whopping 1 megabyte of RAM.  That thing was a beast, let me tell you.  It had the screen integrated, and was so ghetto that the keyboard plugged in through a jack that would have taken a phone plug.  Booting from floppy disks, those were the days.

Of course, now that computer has been, quite literally, dismantled (we pirated the RAM to another ancient Mac years ago) and integrated into a piece of Junk Art for a high school project.  I'll have to find pictures of it sometime.

Earliest machine I remember gaming on is a Mac II. That was fun.

I had a Tandy TRS-80 (a.k.a. the Tandy Color Computer) before I was six (i.e. pre-1984) and played with LOGO on it.  Who's got something more retro than that?

I had a Colecovision... used to love playing that thing, although it was hard to find games for it :(

I remember MASK.  I Loved the show.  I tried getting all the toys.  My favorite cars were the 60's baby blue t-bird that turned into a tank, the orange Pontiac GTO that turned into a hover car, and the blue monster truck van that turned into a gun tower.

What sucked was that the MASK figures were smaller than the GI Joe ones so whenver I wanted to play with both of them I always had to pretend that the MASK figures were from some other universe or something....

M-M-M-M-MASK!

Matt Tracker and his boys were all twits, but their motors pwned. I had Tracker's car and that green bike/helo thingy. Oh, and Miles Mayhem's helo/jet thingy. That one ruled.

What annoys me is that however hard I try to get my friends to induldge in some MASK nostalgia, they insist that I'm talking about that idiot in the yellow suit and the green mask and look at me as if I was speaking 1337.

Sadly, I have only ever found one episode on Kazaa :(

I had a red motorcycle that turned into a jet thing. Basically little winglets unfolded from the saddlebags, which were really jet engines. :D
