A place where you can remember old books, decorations, magazines and toys. What do I consider yesteryear? Initally anything before the year 2000. But since some of the exhibits are post 2000, I am considering 2005 as the limit. (Though some later stuff creeps through)



It's a side project that grew out of control

In 1991,  Pespsi products and Doritos featured the Universal Monsters.   I don't remember if it was a game to match the monsters or not.   1992 featured party versions.
