I’m a massive pokèmom nerd, I can still name all 151 and what level they evolve at. I still have the same Gameboy cartridge I got way back in 95 when I was seven, granted the penny battery has been changed about a zillion times but I love it too much!
Talking about kids, that peppa pig is huge cult following. Oh my mine is obsessed. She knows all the characters and reads the magazines. They have a huge amount of merchandise available and even a theme park. I dont think Ive ever known a kiddy not to like it :p
Tbf as kids cartoons go it is pretty good, its simple funny and quite charming. Why couldnt I think of writing a show like this :p
Dunno about cults but things I’m proper in to (or have been in to in the past):
Rave and free party culture and music (obviously)
Anime
Fantasy/Sci-Fi books – Feist, Gemmel, Banks etc
Warhammer & Warhammer 40k
Micro Machines
Pogs
Star Wars
If its what I think it is I thought the miniature rats were cool as were the multifaceted dice (as even in the 1980s I wondered if they could be also used as a random number source for encrypted messages) but didn’t have the attention span for the rest of these complicated games.
