    Wow, even with the sound off I could accurately remember the music and the sounds of that game. I went back and watched with the sound on just to make sure my recollections were accurate. I loved this game back in the day, despite the fact that it was nearly impossible to lose if you were using the American Dreams team, with Babe, Lefty, Pete, Joe, and Hank.

    @tawni: It's a lie. Big Willie is actually an undercover agent for our side.

    He's going to bring Tom back to us.

    And then together, they're going to take down the church from the inside.

    Now, this is a story all about how
    My life got flipped-turned upside down
    And I liked to take a minute
    Just sit right there
    I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air

    In west Philadelphia born and raised
    On the playground was where I spent most of my days
    Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
    And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
    When a couple of guys
    Who were up to no good
    Startin making trouble in my neighborhood
    I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
    She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'

    I begged and pleaded with her day after day
    But she packed my suite case and send me on my way
    She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
    I put my walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.

    First class, yo this is bad
    Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass.
    Is this what the people of Bel-Air Living like?
    Hmmmmm this might be alright.

    But wait I hear there're prissy, wine all that
    Is Bel-Air the type of place they send this cool cat?
    I don't think sow
    I'll see when I get there
    I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air

    Well, the plane landed and when I came out
    There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out
    I ain't trying to get arrested
    I just got here
    I sprang with the quickness like lightening, disappeared

    I whistled for a cab and when it came near
    The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
    If anything I can say this cab is rare
    But I thought 'Now forget it' - 'Yo homes to Bel Air'

    I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
    And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'
    I looked at my kingdom
    I was finally there

    The source says 1990. The Fresh Prince and that Mariah album would fit, but SNES would be anachronistic.

    @Aneurhythmia: they had time machines back then ('85-'90), so I don't see why SNES would not be possible. Hell, Doc is probably still playing with his train.

    In reply to NESynth iPhone App Pumps Out Nintendo-Style Chiptunes
    I love the sweet synth sounds of the NES! What I find fascinating about the sound generator in the NES is that it had no dynamic volume control, so they had to change the pitch and timbre to make things sound quieter or louder. So lvl1-1 of SMB and lvl 1-2 are actually the same loudness, but 1-2 sounds quieter based on the smooth bass tone.

    We need a new rating for iPhone apps where we determine how high a rating it gets by the number of minutes the average person would use it in their lifetime. This appears to be a 15 minute app to me, which I would have to assume is a pretty good rating. For two bucks. If they made a Commodore 64 version based on the SID chip I would have to actually buy it. Nostalgia is a bitch.
