Sometimes memorable moments from the past come back to warm my heart at random times. For example, the warnings on these Kaiyodo Xebec Hokuto no Ken / Fist of the North Star toys that popped up at random mall anime shops in the late 90s / early 00s.

Small child might cause suffocation, indeed.

This one! Starring stalwart mousy guy pre-Sonicification. ~45 minutes on a rough day.

One last addition, a grocery store snippet. Truly representative of the time period - probably 1998. Surge, Josta, Orbitz, and Coca-Cola Classic. Those were definitely the all-nighter video game years.

Here's one from 1997 - my first trip to Japan as a teen. Looks like I scored Wonder Project J2 (N64), Final Fantasy 6 (SFC), and Lunar: Silver Star Story (Saturn). How timely on that last one! I still have the latter 2, but J2 was a gift to a friend.

Oh yeah, people have been posting ancient receipts, right? I found a few in a giant old wallet recently.

FuncoLand - 1998 - Warriors of the Eternal Sun. I still don't have the box for it, sadly.

Strange to have two KOF posts in a row, but I was going through some old files and found these images from a Gamest Mook I picked up maybe 25 years ago. This is the one showing that Terry Bogard supposedly says "Oh my shit!" during one of his moves. It may be "Overheat" canonically by now, not sure.

Andy Bogard, proud recipient of the Hypocrite of the Year award for 1994!
