[QUOTE="Sir Edgar, post: 535309, member: 7230"] What are you talking about? The 80's RULED! That's when D&D really took off. If you disagree, then ask yourself, do you think they'd even mention D&D in a similar special about the 90's? No, I don't think so. Well, to be more specific, the early 80's were great, the mid and late 80's sucked. Just go to any 80's party: most of the music played is from the early 80's, not mid or late 80's. A comparison... Early 80's: Gary Gygax Mid/Late 80's: That Witch Who Almost Buried TSR Early 80's: Jeff Dee, David Trampier, David Sutherland, etc. Mid/Late 80's: Nobody I Can Think Of Early 80's: Greyhawk Mid/Late 80's: Forgotten Realms Early 80's: The Clash, Michael Jackson, Good Duran Duran Mid/Late 80's: Bon Jovi, MJ, Bad Duran Duran Early 80's: Hill Street Blues Mid/Late 80's: Miami Vice Early 80's: Fast Times at Ridgemont High Mid/Late 80's: Weird Science Early 80's: Bad Hair Mid/Late 80's: Worse Hair [/QUOTE]
