Sega Genesis Aisle at Toys R Us 1990

Here's a brief clip from my home movie of my then favorite console the Sega Genesis. I snuck a quick video sweep of the games I wanted. Easier to make a Christmas List. Filmed in 1990 in Sacramento California.

@SkottBot I was a fanatical gamer at 21 years old.

Nice video. What's the music at the end? :)

[gregorysharp]

@Explorer4Truth It's from the Sega CD player... When there is no game in the drive.

@AlirazaVideoGames the camera was about a foot long six or so inches tall... Meaty looking with a shiny Sony lable on it. It cost about $1,499.00 or so in 1989. for roughly 180 lines of resolution. Upscaled in this video of course.

Did you happen to also film the Turbografx 16 games?

[gregorysharp]

@mokos23 Unfortunately not.

The best days of my childhood were when I walked up to that aisle and could pull one of those fuckin tickets down.

I wonder what kind of game that was for $79.99...

[RetroYoungen]

Those slips being taken to the register made the whole thing super-sweet, it gave an entire level of anticipation to the experience. My mom or dad paying at the register and taking the ticket to the cage to pick up? OOOOHHHHHH, priceless!

Stupid store employee, breaking up our nostalgia trip! They were probably Lynx fans..

Toys R Us used to be so mind blowing when I was a kid. Walk down the isle and drool at the entire wall of games. Anyone remember that show where the winners wore a velcro suit and stuck games to themselves?
