      Leonard Hicks.

      Source, I actually had this movie as a kid. For some reason I think it came from McDonald’s and we got it in the nineties. I could be creating a false memory though cause that is definitely how I got an Indiana Jones movie.

        I believe it, the 90s were a wild time for digital media. I remember the grocery store having a stand full of $10 computer games, which is how I found Raptor: Call of the Shadows.

          Not trying to sound rude, I’m just told I come off that way sometimes. But it was definitely analog. But you’re right about wild digital stuff. Remember those self destructing DVDs? I still feel it was a fever dream seeing those.

            Wow, McDonalds gave out VHS copies? That must have cost them a pretty penny compared to the things they give out now! Not McDonalds, but I still remember being excited when I got a VHS in the mail with a 10 minute trailer for the Nintendo rumble pack that had Sega and Sony (I think?) “torturing” Nintendo for information.
