M Is For...Matropolis! The First Anniversary!

This is crazy. Matropolis is now 1 years old! Wow! I can't believe it's been a year since I began this blog. Happy birthday Matropolis! Have a good one :)

It was when I was in Magic Kingdom, Orlando, last year that I decided to create my own blog. I was watching the 'Celebrate A Dream Come True' parade and as all of my Disney childhood memories passed by in floods I started thinking of those good old days. My first friends, cartoons, video games. I thought to myself that I could write a book on it. Then a few seconds later I had decided...I'm going to create my own blog!

There's Millions Of Dead Fish All Under One Shoe!

It's called Toys R Us! 

Wait...

Is that right? 

Well anyway Toys R Us was the place to be when I was a kid. Every trip to Cardiff had to include a visit to my favourite toy shop otherwise I wouldn't be a happy bunny. Seriously, being dragged around clothes shops with your parents is ultra boring. It was Toys R Us or no go!

Which Bucky Do You Think Of?

Bucky relates to two characters as far as I know.

Bucky Barnes and Captain Bucky O'Hare.

Lately I've seen a lot of tweets about people automatically thinking of Bucky O'Hare instead of Cap's sidekick when the name Bucky is mentioned. 

My Fun Trivia Quizzes!

If you read my earlier posts back in August you would have seen me mention these quizzes before. A few years ago I often found myself bored during my lunch break at work so would browse the internet while letting out deep sighs. Then my friend Steve mentioned this quiz website to me containing lots of fun games called Fun Trivia.

So I started frequenting this website and enjoyed earning badges as I played the word games and quizzes. After a while I decided that I would attempt to create my own quiz.

Bucky O'Hare NES (1992)

I arrived home from Primary School one day to find this game resting against my TV and being a fan of the cartoon I was very excited to say the least and it turned out to be a great game!

Bucky's crew are kidnapped by the toads in this game and taken to different planets. Needless to say Bucky then has to go and rescue them. The characters kidnapped are Willy, Deadeye, Jenny and Blinky. Bruiser is unfortunately not in the game and I was so looking forward to croaking some toads with him!

My NES Collection

I recently dug out my old NES games. So here I present to you my collection:

Bucky O'Hare and the Toad Wars

In anothe dimension,

another time and space,

a parallel universe is falling on it's face!

When out of the chaos,

who else could it be?

But the animal adventures from S.P.A.C.E!

Bucky! Captain Bucky O'Hare!

So who remembers this cartoon? The theme song is very catchy! I have it on my Ipod...yes I have a list dedicated to cartoon themes...don't judge! This was one of my absolute favourites as a kid! My friends and I would argue over who got to be Bucky every time we played it! I must have spent endless hours in front of the TV just watching this over and over about a group of mammals battling the evil Toad Empire who were under the control of an evil A.I called Komplex. So you had a hare, a cat, and a duck among others fighting toads in space! Awesome! Also their costumes were pretty cool too.
