Maybe someone here will help me find a song that I listened to with a friend (and danced a lot) during a summer in the late 90s.
It was an electronic dance song which featured a a very raspy male voice singing in Spanish and would ocasionally make the "pull snot from the throat and spit" sound.
My friend and I have been for years trying to find it to no avail... :(
That sound is often termed hocking a loogie. Sorry I can't help with the more meaty part of your comment.
Today I learned, had no idea how it was called in English :)
I don't remember how we had it but when I was growing up, we had a pc game called Adventures with Chickens. I might have to track down a copy and play it again because I'm confused as to why MobyGames says the game has "shoot 'em up elements" when I'm pretty sure it doesn't.
A board game called Off the Rails. You play as goblins in a mine, and use mine carts to collect gems. It was on kickstarter maybe 5 years ago.
the sega version of fist of the north star
Edit: Just to sell it a little harder, this album has phenomenal songwriting. It's got a laid-back LA-surf-rock sound with elements of punk and maybe a hint of wistful country in the lyrics.
The What! Help is On The Way
This album and band is endangered, no CD's, unavailable on any music streaming service.
The only online version I could find is this a random YouTube upload.
One of my favorite bands ever. They were introduced to me by a friend's sister in, like 1999. Their band ended quickly after the death of one of the members.
The only other link related to them now appears to be a remaining band member's channel, which hasn't been updated in 11 years.
Stars! is a turn based galactic trade/strategy game my friends and I used to play via email in high school.
ZZT, I think the game that completes "Ready Player One" is loosely referencing it.
Edit: Holy cow, I had no idea

OK I'll have to go harder. Jet Set Willy or Reptilion

A movie called Sir Henry at Rawlinson's End, extremely surreal British Arthouse. Like an opium dream from the brain of a fox hunting aristo, part comedy part stream of consciousness spoken word poetry. The gags, puns, and quips are truely monumental. It's a gem, though not PC, you've been warned: https://youtu.be/N6W5RB50fXk?si=eYUlKqkTyyMvHz-Z
There was a game from my childhood for the Dreamcast called E.G.G. (Elemental Gimmick Gear). I've never heard anyone else talk about it, but I remember it being super cool
