For me, it would have to be a little known WB show called Histeria! This show, if I remember right, was around the Animaniacs timeslot where I was early on school mornings. For those who need that sweet, addictive nostalgia, here is the intro.

I loved Histeria as a kid. I thought I was the only one who even remembered that show.

There was a flash animation I found on some japanese website. Really vague description, it basically had a girl which had some moon, not sure if crescent or full moon, it wasn't a horror video, but I do remember it being rather stylized. I think similar to the art of The World Ends With You.

I saw it when I was 12. And I really wonder if I made it up in a dream.

Now the other thing is a flash escape game from the series called "hops hamster adventures". There were several games made by the same creator, but I'm trying to find a certain scene that kinda traumatized me, which was the hops hamster adventure halloween episode. I assume that's the name, but there was this one puzzle where a little boy's corpse shows up and scares the three main hamster characters away. I remember it as fairly graphic, like the game series had a south park like flat artstyle, so it reminded me of the kind of gore that shows up on that show. The way to go past him is to drink a potion of courage and the hamsters are able to converse with him, revealing his tragic back story. The flash game series was honestly kinda hardcore, since themes of death was pretty common.

I think this was the game, unfortunatly the links are dead and the domain for PC-anipa is gone. https://www.gamekb.com/games/1364774-hopping-ham-s-halloween

Jim Henson was awesome and this show was so cool, but barely anyone remembers it existed


There was a local channel called locomotion who played only animation, a lot of anime but also weirder stuff , there would always be something cool playing just randomly at any hour there, they used to include a lot of shorts in between programing, this ones took me years before i finally saw them again after deciding to look for them on a whim.

Back in the day when I used to get up early on Saturday Morning to watch cartoons, this is one of the random shows that used to come on super early before the stuff I actually wanted to watch..

Oh man, this stupid shit too.
 
My cheap ass mother got me a vhs from a bargain bin, a failed pilot for some toyetic (made to sell toys ) cartoon of aliens or tiny robots that hid as household objects. It wasn't exactly a transformers ripoff but it was pretty blatant. I in turn gave it to a 6 year old who really wanted to find the toys that never made it to store shelves. Can't recall the name. It had that syndicated Dic/sunbow quality

I know exactly the show you're talking about, although I, too have trouble remembering the name. The only failed cartoon pilot I can think of was Solarman:

I just remembered a show from the lateish 90's about real life people who somehow got turned into cgi car people. It was kind of like power rangers, but their "mentor" was an Ozzy Osbourne type dude who lived in a junkyard. Other than that I don't remember much else, but I think the main characters needed to literally drink gasoline to stay alive.
 
I'm sorry to bring video games into the mix. I'm sure there was a thread for barely remembered video games on the other board but I can't seem to find it.

Anyway, I'm trying to find a PSX game I saw on a demo disk when I was small. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. Here are the things I remember:
- It was on PSX
- It was a snowboarding game
- It had an announcer who would kept saying, "Not bad, but you can do better you KNOOOWWWW!"

Any ideas?
