Were we wrong about Richard Mulligan? Was Sam Donaldson the real inspiration for Sam the Eagle from The Muppet Show?
Were Richard Mulligan and Sam Donaldson separated at birth?
The Dush at the Malibu celebrity Triathlon!
Rob, your boy Mark-Paul Gosselaar and the lovely Tiffani-Amber Thiessen also were there….
Hey Juan. Here’s a comparison of the three versions of the 1991 Konami, The Simpsons, game. Commodore 64, MS DOS, and the Arcade version.
The DOS version looks incredibly good, especially for an MS DOS game back then. I can’t believe I never bothered to get it? From ebay searching, it actually fit on a 3.5″ floppy? Wow!
What’s more surprising is that it fit on a C64 floppy. Don’t those things only hold 190k or so?
Also, how come Lewis Black looks like Cheech Marin in this picture for some strange reason?
Hi Juan. Yeah, Lewis Black looked a little different in person than he does on TV. It was cool to meet him and talk to him though. Here’s a picture of me and Juliana Hatfield from 2005:
Greg, Mark-Paul Gosselaar is starring in a new TV show on TNT called Raising the Bar. I’ll have to check it out.
Acclaim should’ve licensed Konami’s arcade game for release on the SNES. Gamers in the early 1990s were stiffed…although an Acclaim version most likely would’ve stunk. D’oh!
