- The Purple Moon/Rockett computer games. (admittedly I realize now that a lot of the characters were stereotypical*, and the fact that it was created for the sole purpose of "girl games" bugs me - if I'd known that then I would never have played).

*A native american character named Wolf (and another one named Arrow), a latina character named Viva, the super brainy kid was Japanese...

- Pepper's Adventures in Time (another computer game). Probably part of why I was so obsessed with hippies.

- Sweet Valley Twins - everyone always talks about Sweet Valley High, but no one seems to have really read SVT. (I feel like Sweet Valley High was what the "cool kids" read. I was not one of the cool kids. So I read Sweet Valley Twins instead. Going by recaps I've read, I would've hated Sweet Valley High.)

I remember Sweet Valley Twins, but I only read one or two. Sweet Valley Twins was to Sweet Valley High as the Little Sister books were to the Babysitter's Club, weren't they?

OH AND I REMEMBER ROCKETT TOO.

I had like one game, but I don't remember the plot.

Sweet Valley Twins was to Sweet Valley High as the Little Sister books were to the Babysitter's Club, weren't they?

Sort of. Did you ever read the California Diaries? They were basically a "darker and edgier" take on The Baby-Sitter's Club (following Dawn after she moves back to California) and much more along the lines of SVH. SVT was basically BSC-level innocence, though some of the characters were more intentionally nasty. (Whereas with BSC we were supposed to sympathize with them most of the time, even when in hindsight they pulled a looot of crap.)

I only ever read the Little Sister books, actually. Never got into any of the others.

There was Sweet Valley Kids, which was along the same lines.

I read TLS books.

No not really. SWV twins in some ways were a prequel to SVH, which Babysitter Little sisters was more of a spin off for Karen. Though both were made to appeal to a younger audience. It was about Liz and Jess in middle school I believe. I admittedly didn't read a lot of them, but that's what little I remember makes me feel that was the case.

But heck yes Babysitter's little sister. It makes me sad not too many people remember it because I liked it better than Babysitters Club.

I never read SVH, it just felt too different so I stuck with SVT instead.

AYRT - Yeah, same. My best friend was obsessed with SVH, but what she told me (or what I read through peeks into her books) made me not want to read them.

I loved Sweet Valley Twins. I was so young that they were way more appropriate than Sweet Valley High, but I did read the Sweet Valley High family books where it talked about the different women who came before the girls featured in the stories.

I read those too! Sort of weird though, that in every version where there was a twin, one twin died. I always wondered if Francine Pascal was trying to tell us something there.

I forgot about that! It was always some super tragic death too.

My favorite was the Lila Fowler version where her dad's relatives and her mom's relatives would constantly be together and then not for years and years.

There was a Sweet Valley Twins special around Christmastime that had their grandmother come and talk to them about her twin sister and presented them with these twin dolls that transport Elizabeth and Jessica to a fantasy world.

I really loved these books as a kid and might have to go dig some of them.

I loved the Rockett Games! I played them so much I still have complete sets of dialogue memorized.. as well as every character's full name. And on that note, Arrow wasn't Native American (she was just good friends with Wolf and into nature) and Arrow wasn't her real name (it was Arianne).

And... I'm still kind of proud of myself for figuring out what "CSG" stood for and that Rockett wasn't really a Sagittaruis before the game where they were revealed came out.
