Like many little girls in the late '90s, I always bagsied Pink Ranger. I'd intended to carry this childish insistence across to my Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind demo, but alas, Yellow Ranger had been chosen for me already. I shrug, pretending not to be a smidge disappointed as I sit down to play the upcoming Atari game with one of the developers. Soon enough, though, I'm having too much fun to give a hoot which color Ranger I am.
The game begins, and the moment I hear the opening notes of the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers theme tune, a dormant memory awakens. Suddenly I'm four years old again, sitting on the sofa at my friend Iain's house after a long morning spent trying not to eat crayons at kindergarten. I've a Nutella sandwich in one hand, my Pink Ranger action figure clutched tight in the other, and I'm kicking my legs wildly to the music. It's been years since I've even thought about Power Rangers, but thanks to Digital Eclipse, I'm getting to relive one of my greatest childhood loves some 20 years later – all thanks to Rita's Rewind.
