Playing Rampage

Image
The first time I had ever played Rampage was sometime between the late 80's and the early 90's. My mom and grandma would take me to this laundromat that had arcade machines. They would give me a bunch of quarters to play games while they were doing laundry.  I would spend most of my time there playing Rampage and trying to see how far I could get. I was big into monster monster movies when I was a kid so when I saw the game was about giant monsters destroying cities I got hooked on it. Rampage was released in 1986 in arcades and was developed by Midway. 2 years later it got a release for the Nintendo Entertainment System in December of 1988. That version was also developed by Midway and published by Data East. You could play as 3 different characters who were humans that turned into monsters from experiments gone wrong. George who was an ape, Lizzie who was a lizard, and Ralph who was a wolf. If you play with other people you can fight each other or help...

Listening to Spawn: The Album

In 1997 after seeing Spawn in the theater, I had to go out and buy the soundtrack because I loved the music that was in the movie. It had various artists working together and also had remixes of some heavy metal songs. It's one of my favorite movie soundtracks of all time. I had this album playing in my CD player constantly. I would listen to it on the way to and from school, or while playing video games or while doing chores. I would even take it too Karate class with me. I got all my friends into it. My favorite song of the album is "(Can't You) Trip Like I do" by Filter and The Crystal Method. It had an awesome music video as well. The first time I had ever actually listened to the band Korn, was from listening to this album and then I became a fan of theirs and have been ever since. There were a few artists on the album that I had never heard of and started to get into their music after listening to it. There are 14 songs on the album.   Track...
