Ok this is my very first adventure review. To be totally honest I am a bit unsure how to review a adventure with out spoiling to much, while still giving you enough information to purchase it if you... [Read More]

Yeah. So disappointing. It could have been Sturmgeschutz & Sorcery, but Nooooooo...
I think you're thinking of the Keep (the one where Germans enter the Keep and unleash an evil dude - based on an novel by one of my favorite authors, F. Paul Wilson)
The Gate is the one where 2 kids find a geode in the backyard, then dig a hole, which happens to be a gate to hell. And one kid who is a heavy metal fan puzzles it together thanks to a album.
Which I like a lot because the kid in it reminds me a lot of me back then (I even had some of the same posters on the wall), and it's got a very authentic use of the language back then. Like when 2 friends of his sister show up, he says something like, "Oh, no, it's the Lee sisters". Which was a stupid but common joke back then.

I never know what was popular and what was cult because of the people I hung out with. When you're all geeks and nerds, you kinda get distanced from society!

Rock 'n' Roll High School (technically 1979)
Scanners
And a couple of movies I saw at a drive-in in 1981 or so:
Eager Beavers (I looked it up on the IMDB. It came up under a different name and is actually 1975. Not a single character has a last name--you know that's a quality script!)
Classroom Teasers (can't even find this one in the IMDB).
(These last two fall into the 80s category of crappy acronym movies, respectively B.O.R.N. and C.H.U.D. 180 minutes of my life that I'll never get back...)
