Hmmmm, okay, more trivia it is, and Brother Rockwell, feel free to play.

His name was Larry, and he was a big ol' rat!

I certainly won't be forgetting Battletoads, Lou. In my case, the drummer in my band back in 1991 had a fixation with the game, and that led to us even writing a song based on the damn thing! That band was in the process of falling apart when that song got written, so we never ended up recording it. I still remember the music that I wrote for it though, and I definitely remember the game. I remember that being one of the cooler beat-em-ups from that period, especially where home console systems were concerned. Even on the 8-bit NES, the original Battletoads game completely rocked, and it was completely stellar on the Genesis. As for SNES, Battletoads in Battlemaniacs was excellent as well both graphically & musically. I love the effect of the lava river moving to the west in the background while all the main action with your toad is moving to the east. I can only guess that they'd hoped that the Battletoads series would be more of a commercial success than it ended up being because they even went to the trouble to trademark the names Zitz, Rash, and Pimple. Oh well, it's a series that still lives on with guys like us, Lou. hehe

P.S. - As for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I was fanatical about the original Eastman/Laird TMNT comic books when they first came out back in the 80s, because it appealed to me as a dark & stylish yet humorous adult concept, but they lost my support once Eastman & Laird sold licensing rights so they could start making plush dolls, lunchboxes, Saturday morning cartoons, and basically robbing the characters of everything that I had initially liked about them. They watered them down into something that was entirely foreign to me and juvenile. Sad story, but at least I still have my comic books to remind me who they once were.
