Audio tapes, that is. Even back when I sounded like a chipmunk, I wanted to create my own show. In this case, radio shows. Including, apparently, the world's first let's play (once again, on audio tapes). It was a childhood wish to be able to sell my tapes so everyone could hear what I created. The quality seems to vary (both in terms of "show quality" and "audio quality"), but I'm tempted to copy them to my computer and upload them for all to hear.

...Even though it'd be embarassing as all heck. :P

Sir, you weren't the only one. I, too, had audio cassette tapes recording various things with friends of mine as a kid. We even had news segments and stuff (I held up a gameboy to the recorder and played the theme from Qix). Even growing up I still recorded things on it. The last of which I could remember was the credits theme from Donkey Kong Country 2. Sadly though, those things are probably all long gone. How you managed to run across yours after so many years is beyond me. That's really kind of awesome.

Well, I had all my tapes in a black plastic suitcase. Found it sitting in a cabinet in the basement of my parents' house.

Edit.
Okay, so here's all my findings so far.

Tape 1:
Side 1 - Me recording "part 2" of an instructional book for building a model railroad. Mostly boring, but I have trouble pronouncing a few words. Incidentally, it's hard to read, but it looks like the original title for this side of the tape is "The Biginning of the Cartoon Lands", leading me to believe that I recorded over something of my own creation. Looking over my tapes, a lot of them have scratched out titles like this one. Sad to say the collection won't be complete. But it'll hopefully be big. There's 32 tapes altogether.
Side 2 - I recorded the openings and endings of Super Smash Bros., Super Mario RPG, Pokémon Snap, and Pokémon Red/Blue. I won't be uploading this.

Tape 2:
Side 1 - Recording of Gargoyles in "The Cage". Obviously, won't be recorded.
Side 2 - Also an episode of Gargoyles, "Outfoxed". Back then, I just had this fascination with radio shows (which were almost dead at the time). So along with making my own, I also tried turning TV shows into radio shows.

Tape 3:
Side 1 - Anybody remember some sort of food item called "Squeeze-It?" Does "French Toast Crunch" still exist? Two commercials at the start of the recording for those. Obviously not going to be my own show again. Actually, it's the Superman episode called "Tools of the Trade".
Side 2 - Once again, TV recording. Starting with a commercial for Galactic Gushers and the end credits for Pinky & The Brain. The show is The Batman/Superman Adventures, the Superman episode "Father's Day". The tape is labeled as the first two parts of "Apokolips...Now!". It's not a mislabel. More that I thought that the episodes featuring Darkseid (pre-Supergirl) could've been connected together, since they all have an "oh crap" ending.

Tape 4:
Side 1 - TV recording again? This ain't looking promising. WTF, is this Barney and Friends?
Side 2 - Finally, one of my own recordings again. Apparently, my fake show took a while to start, so I invited everyone to the kitchen for a snack. Starting in 29 minutes? And then a song on the radio cuts in? ...Oh, I see. Apparently I created a fake "movie theater" thing where I'd have a waiting time before I started a live performance. Unfortunately, due to the included songs from the radio, I probably won't be allowed to upload this one. Tell you what, though, I was sure persistant at counting out every minute. Now, whether I actually managed to use this recording, that I don't know. Actually, the ending's pretty cute, so I might just upload this with the music cut out.

Tape 5:
Side 1 - Guess what TV recording again. Power Rangers, something about Face Stealer.
Side 2 - Followed by Family Matters, which starts off on the other side of the tape. Guess both shows are back-to-back, and I quickly swapped sides when the first side ended.

Tape 6:
Side 1 - Audio recording of the Gargoyles pilot movie edit.
Side 2 - Barely audible. But after some close listening, I have figured on it being from the video-interactive board game that concludes the Gargoyles movie videocasette, and then finishes off with a broken recording of The Simpsons.

Tape 7:
Side 1 - Openings and endings, again. Except, this time I included the final battles... as in I recorded myself fighting the final battles, on an audio tape.
Side 2 - Same thing. Including one ending that I don't quite recognize, yet seems so familiar. Maybe it was a rental.

Tape 8:
Side 1 - Nobody is available, leave a message after the beep. Followed by a recording of Homeward Bound. Then cut off at some point by I don't know what I just heard.
Side 2 - Sounds like someone's playing a pinball machine. There's a TV going on in the background. No idea what the purpose of the recording is.

Tape 9:
Side 1 - Merry Melodies.
Side 2 - Followed by the Timon & Pumbaa cartoon.

Tape 10:
Side 1 - The first half-hour of the Pocahontas movie.
Side 2 - The second half-hour. Apparently, it was recorded like a TV show, with the start of each having the opening theme and the end of each having an abridged closing theme.

Tape 11:
Side 1 - Full House.
Side 2 - The entire recording is the armed boss theme from Super Mario RPG. I actually remember recording this. I liked the song THAT much. And yet, I still don't have the theme perfectly memorized. :P

Tape 12:
Side 1 - Openings and endings like on Tape 7.
Side 2 - I guess I'm playing Mario RPG. No commentary. Just audio.

Tape 13:
Side 1 - Batman. Cat and the Claw, part 2.
Side 2 - Superman. World's Finest, part 1.

Tape 14:
TaleSpin. For Whom the Bell Klangs. Likely a recording of the home video version.

Tape 15:
Side 1 - Aladdin TV show.
Side 2 - Warner Bros. cartoons.

Tape 16:
Gargoyles. I'm really wishing I had a VCR when I was a kid, now.

Tape 17:
...You know, I don't even care, anymore.

Wow, that reminds me of my times as a kid drawing comics. I basically made a bunch of super heroes (and borrowed some others, like Bomberman, lol) and filled a whole notebook with their adventuures. Or my lame detective stories.
Sometimes I wish I could have to notebooks again. :)
