Transfered and uploaded from my own VHS tape I recorded back in 1988. This is mostly focused on the big Christmas hype for Super Mario Bros 2 and the Legend of Zelda 2 and how scarce these two games are due to the "chip shortage" (sound familiar?) of the time.

  • @Nintendude712 yups, i was 7 when i got super mario 2 so those kids are my age and i'm gonna turn 31 next week..

  • i remember how hard it was to find the games. Funny how now days they have enough supply for everyone.

  • The days of going home and playing a game that wasn't connected to the internet.

  • @ccricers

    heh true!!!

  • @harmfulifconsumed

    lmao - that was funny

  • 5:08, fine print to the rite, Christopher Kirby.

  • These were before my times, but I got to play them... NOW!

  • 178 people pressed the like button before getting lost in nostalgia; everyone else must have remembered about Silver Surfer and Battle Toads and are either rage-quitting them or basking in glorious triumph over them right now.

  • These kids must be so old now! I wasnt even born yet! xD Anyways, Nintendo rules!

  • Nintendo still has the best games.
