I'm so close to beating GTA: San Andreas for PS2. It took a few years, but better late than never!

1990
NASADA, a space agency based in Angel Grove, sends a research satellite

to another star system (see 1998). By 1998, NASADA will be rumored to

house alien spacecraft which may include the Astro Megashuttle (see

1998).

star cheerleader.
MMPR-1: "Enter... The Lizzinator"

August-December 1993
On the moon, Earthen astronauts unwittingly open Rita Repulsa's space

dumpster (see 8,000 BCE), which has crashed there some time ago. Rita

returns to Lord Zedd's moon palace (see 8-10,000 BCE) and targets Angel

Grove. In the desert nearby, Zordon's Command Center (see 1880) is

manned by Alpha Five (also see 8,000 BCE), built some time ago by Lexian

of the planet Edenoi (see 1000-1600 CE).
Zordon and Alpha issue Power Coins (see 8,000 BCE), Morphers (devices to

morph humans into Power Rangers), and Dinozords to Angel Grove High

School freshmen Jason Lee, Zack Taylor, Billy Cranston, Trini Kwan, and

Kimberly Hart (see 1978-79), who serve as Earth's first known modern

Power Rangers (also see 1880).
At school and Ernie's Juice Bar (see 1960-69), Bulk and Skull (see

1986-87) regularly antagonize the Power teens, never suspecting their

superhero identities (see 1998).
At some point, Rita's assistant Finster begins deciphering the Scrolls

of Zordnia, which indicate the location of the ancient Shogunzords (see

1995).
Blue Ranger Billy soon invents wrist communicators which will be used

for communication and teleportation by Zordon's Ranger teams through 1998

(also see 2045-55).
Rita discovers the Power Eggs (see ?? million years BCE) in a cave, but

the Rangers return them to the sea.
The teens celebrate Black Ranger Zack's birthday, probably his

fifteenth.
When Tommy Oliver (see 1978-79) moves to Angel Grove, Rita turns him

into her evil Green Ranger using the Sword of Darkness (see 8-10,000 BCE)

and her green Power Coin (see 8,000 BCE). Meanwhile, Scorpina (see 8,000

BCE) returns from dormancy. Tommy soon joins the Rangers' side once

freed from Rita's evil spell and continues to control the Dragonzord (see

8,000 BCE).
When Rita creates replicating Super Putties, the Rangers complete their

Dinozord fleet with the addition of Titanus (see 8,000 BCE) during a

quest for new weapons.
Rita later summons Lokar (see 8,000 BCE) to trap the teens on the

extradimensional Island of Illusion. The Rangers escape the island's

destruction with an inhabitant named Quagmire.
Rita ultimately drains most of Tommy's powers using a magical Green

Candle, but he passes the remainder of his powers to Red Ranger Jason.

Jason will use the powers in two subsequent battles before their apparent

exhaustion.
As Angel Grove celebrates "Power Ranger Day," Rita moves her palace

downtown and uses Lokar (see above) to unleash Cyclopsis (see 8,000 BCE).

Alpha hacks into Rita's computers, causing her to retreat to the moon

after Cyclopsis is destroyed. Offered a chance to retire, the teens

choose to keep their powers.

Mala, dude, you need to get out more.

and stop watching really awful television shows!

[El Chuxter]

Jeez, I'm less concerned about a contest entry than I am about saying how much Malakie is scaring me dookieless right now.

(You do realize that these long posts take more time to write and five people could swoop in while you're working on one, right? )

[mtriv73]

I had a pet lizard for a while during and after college named Morrison. He was named after the Lizard king Jim Morrison. Morrison was a fat tailed gecko and ate crickets. While I liked him just fine, he never much cared for me (except as a provider of crickets.) He did love the ladies though. He often tried to snuggle up in the cleavage of any girl who held him. I miss that lizard.

Oh don't worry about time. I have all the time in the world. Besides that, all of this was written down long before now. I'm just copy and pasting it.

August-December 1993
Rocky, Adam, and Aisha (see 1978-79) begin attending high school in

Stone Canyon. The trio will have substantial ninja training by 1994.
MMPR-2: "The Ninja Encounter part 1"

August-December 1993
As the Power Rangers (see left panel) appear in the media, young T.J.

Johnson (see 1997) aspires to be one at age 12 or 13.
PRT: "Passing the Torch part 2"


1994
Zordon's Power Rangers continue to thwart Rita's attacks on Angel Grove

(see 1993) through the first half of 1994.
At one point, Rita abducts the Rangers' parents, steals the Dragon

Dagger (see 1993), and forces the Rangers to surrender their Power Coins.

Using energy pooled from Zordon and the Rangers, Tommy (see 1993) saves

the day as the Green Ranger and returns to the team.
During the summer, Lord Zedd returns (see 8-10,000 BCE), perhaps having

lost his distant empire, and banishes Rita in her space dumpster (see

1993). The Rangers' Dinozords are upgraded into Thunderzords.
Bulk and Skull (see 1993) begin a fruitless quest to expose the Rangers'

identities for fame and fortune. The Power teens soon begin their

sophomore year at Angel Grove High.
As Lord Zedd repeatedly targets the Green Ranger to erase Rita's

failures, Tommy is slowly deprived of power (see below).
MMPR-1: "A Pig Surprise" (Rita resumes attacks)
MMPR-1: "Return of an Old Friend" (parents abducted, Tommy returns)
MMPR-1: "Grumble Bee" (end of school year)
MMPR-2: "The Mutiny" (Zedd returns, Rita banished, Rangers receive

Thunderzords)
MMPR-2: "The Mutiny part 1" (Bulk and Skull's quest)
MMPR-2: "Putty on the Brain" (classes resume)
MMPR-2: "The Power Stealer" / "The Beetle Invasion" / "Welcome to Venus

Island" / "The Green Dream" (Zedd targets Tommy)
MMPR-2: "Rangers Back in Time part 1" (Zedd's evil status formerly

higher)

early 1994
Kat Hillard (see 1978-79) is in a diving accident during the Australian

Pan Global tryouts, resulting in a fear of water (see 1995).
MMPR-3: "A Different Shade of Pink part 3"

1994 (cont'd; without Tommy's warning to self) [Section A]
Tommy learns from Zordon that his temporary powers (see above) are

nearly depleted.
Probably similar to section B (center panel), Tommy loses his powers in

the Otherworld, where his communicator has been jammed.
Perhaps upset by Goldar's images (see center panel), an exhausted Tommy

somehow warns his past self (actually Tommy B, center panel) of his final

battle, telling him to remember a communicator.
This Tommy's future is unknown: he may be defeated or may contact

another past self to retrieve the aforementioned communicator.
MMPR-2: "Green No More part 1" (Tommy A's warning to Tommy B)
MMPR-2: "Green No More part 2" (inferred final battle events)

1994 (cont'd; after Tommy's warning to self, without follow-up)

[Section B]
Tommy receives a warning from an alternate future self (actually Tommy

A, left panel) telling him to remember a communicator for his final

battle.
When Zordon later tells Tommy his powers are nearly depleted, he recalls

his recent vision and steels himself for a powerless final battle.
Slowly siphoning Tommy's powers with a Green Crystal, Zedd creates the

Dark Rangers from five punks, seals off the Command Center, and jams the

communicators.
When the remainder of his powers are stolen in Zedd's Otherworld, Tommy

confidently clobbers Goldar despite efforts to break his spirit with

images from a time device.
Tommy then uses the time device to contact himself in the recent past

(actually Tommy C, right panel). Receiving a working communicator, Tommy

escapes but soon returns to shatter the Green Crystal.
Downtown, Tommy uses residual energy from the Green Crystal for a final

battle, after which the Dragonzord is retired.
MMPR-2: "Green No More part 1" (Tommy A's warning)
MMPR-2: "Green No More part 2" (Otherworld, contact with Tommy C, last

Green Ranger battle)

1994 (cont'd; after Tommy's warning to self, after follow-up)

[Section C]
Some time after receiving an initial warning (see upper portion of

section B), Tommy is carrying a spare communicator when he encounters a

second hologram from the future (see lower portion of section B), to whom

he gives the communicator.
This Tommy's events are probably similar to section B after this point

despite his encounters with two future Tommys rather than one.
MMPR-2: "Green No More part 1" (Tommy A's warning)
MMPR-2: "Green No More part 2" (contact with Tommy B)

1994 (after Tommy's warning to self, cont'd)
Zordon soon gives Tommy new White Ranger powers, along with Saba the

talking saber and the White Tigerzord. Tommy and Pink Ranger Kimberly

begin dating.
Zedd captures Stone Canyon ninja teens Rocky, Adam, and Aisha (see 1993).

They are rescued by the Rangers but discover their identities in the

process. They continue to aid the Rangers and soon transfer to Angel

Grove High through unknown circumstances.
When Jason, Trini, and Zack are chosen for the World Peace Summit in

Geneva, the Rangers use a special map and ring to retrieve the Sword of

Light from the Deserted Planet (see ?,000 BCE) and transfer powers to

Rocky, Adam, and Aisha as Jason, Trini, and Zack depart. (Note: Aside

from both trios briefly shown in Ranger suits simultaneously, all other

indications suggest the powers were transferred and not duplicated.)
Zedd completes the titanic Zord Serpentera (see 1996) but repeatedly

suffers from a power shortage.
Scorpina (see 1993) is last seen briefly serving Lord Zedd in a scheme to

deceive Black Ranger Adam.
MMPR-2: "White Light" (White Ranger)
MMPR-2: "Two for One" (Tommy and Kimberly date)
MMPR-2: "The Ninja Encounter" (Rocky, Adam, Aisha captured, learn

Rangers' identities)
MMPR-2: "A Monster of Global Proportions" / "Zedd Waves" (Rocky, Adam,

Aisha aid Rangers)
MMPR-2: "The Power Transfer" (three teens transfer to Angel Grove High,

Rangers retrieve Sword of Light, Zedd completes Serpentera)
