Getbackers. It was an anime that I liked as a kid. I tried to rewatch it recently and realized how bad it is.
Back in the 90s maybe into early 2000s, my family managed to acquire a lot of VHS tapes, and some of them were fairly obscure
Two that I remember particularly fondly were 2 animated movies
Epic: Days of the Dinosaur, which was about 2 kids raised by dingos, kind of a weird fantasy movie
And Return to Treasure Island, which was pretty much just a straight-up if somewhat comedic adaptation of Treasure island, which was apparently made the USSR, and the Russian version had live action sequences that didn't appear in the English version I had.
I remember a 3D version of Tetris on an early IBM PC clone. Very early like 8088 or 286 PC. Don't remember the name and it was only wireframe and 1color (amber or greenscreen?) but I was very impressed with it. Seemed ahead of its time.
The games I've made.

Legacy of the wizard, rygar, cypher (strider)
I remember Rygar.
A-Train DS, or A列車で行こう DS, a Japanese game about managing trains. Basically like Transport Tycoon/OpenTTD, but focuses on Japanese train. It was actually really good, it actually made me obsessed with Japanese trains. Coolest thing about this game is, you can actually "ride" the train you built. It was like a dream come true for childhood me.
Yet, I rarely heard anyone online talks about this game. I really recommend others to play this game... If you can read Japanese as I am not sure that there is English translation for this game...
There were four promotional songs put together to promote the 1960's Adam West Batman. One of them is Miranda sung by Adam West. It's, uh, something, yeah.
I'll throw mine in:
Video games: Weird Dreams and Spectre VR both for PC back in the early 90s iirc
Music: one artist i really enjoy that unfortunately died from covid in 2020 though he was only in his 20s... His name was Cesar Alexandre and i got to know and love much of his work as Lindsheaven Virtual Plaza. In fact, my first thought when i heard the opening track from their EP Daily Night Euphoria was that it would have been a great soundtrack for Spectre VR...
Captain Zoom in Outerspace
It was direct to TV Galaxy Quest before Galaxy Quest.
There's this youtube channel, on which someone does piano fugue improvisations, it is really good, and it has only a few thousand views
Here is an example, but there are more: https://youtu.be/YLW47a6Jk50?si=6coaJGDotT9B3JU1
There's also hours long live session during which he improvise many baroque pieces, I listen to it every now and then, and it's always a blast
Movie: Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man
Music: Buggie Techinica by Polysics
The Legend of Alon D'ar. Never talked to anyone who's played it. I know some people have due to YouTube videos, but it's not a great game and I ended up beating it because I had nothing better to do.
