the 1992 barcelona games: the dream team
barcelona, spain is a beautiful country as beaches and sun tanned beach goers rest and play and enjoy some rays and cool off in the seas. then in 1992, something epic is about to appear, the barcelona games. this time the mascot is a cute one, cobi, a fox mascot i remember as i'm also reading at the time: GAMEPRO! the magazines appear and at the time i'm so enamored of the colors, and there is a video game on the event too besides the 2 track and field games. for the event, there is a big and i mean BIG!!! basketball team or as i call it a supergroup and i'm not talking about audioslave or asia. it's the dream team fronted by michael jordan and the rest of the team and they played great. the bulls scored the 2nd of 6 championships of their dynasty (golden state comes close). there is a summer time atmosphere and at the same time there is cool movies like batman returns (i put the 1st batman as the best dark batman movies but sadly, the fans and families thought it's too violent)
