When I was young, one of my favorite shows was Gargoyles on the Disney Afternoon. I believe I've discussed the opening to the cartoon once before, but I don't think I can overstate just how enjoyable this was. Initially, I was just excited by the sheer number of former cast people from Star Trek: The Next Generation who were going to be on it, though I had a really hard time believing that "Commander Riker" would make an effective bad guy.
Man, was I proven wrong.

Sega Advertisements
When I was growing up, I didn't have a Super Nintendo. I was pulled into the miasma of made-up words that my generation was renowned for and got sucked in by the advertising for the Sega Genesis.
Does anybody else remember "blast processing?"
I'll admit, Sega did a really good job at the time as making themselves out to be "cooler" than Nintendo. Nintendo had a plumber for a mascot who was jovial, friendly, and was part of the older generation of games. Sega had a blue hedgehog that ran so fast you'd be done with a stage in mere moments. Nintendo had a gray system, Sega went black (and really never went back...until the Dreamcast). Nintendo grayed out blood from games like Mortal Kombat, Sega left the blood in. Sega was just cool, and the advertisements showed it.
