Thoughts and observations from a quirky cartoonist and designer.

New Nintendo

November 27th, 2003

Witness one of the earliest commercials for the Nintendo Entertainment System, predating the launch of the new console in 1985. As the announcer explains:

“Will you be the one to witness the birth of the incredible Nintendo Entertaiment System? The one to play with ROB, the extraordinary video robot. Batteries no included. He helps you tackle even the toughest challenge. Will you be the first to raise the incredibly accurate Zapper and play games like Duck Hunt, or action-packed Hogan’s Alley and high-flying Kung Fu? Each sold separately. Will you be the one to experience the Nintendo Entertainment System? Comes with ROB, Zapper, control deck, two controllers, Gyromite, and Duck Hunt.”

Well, my days of buying game systems for my ’sons’ are over…oh Thank God! I now turn this duty over to Chessie Sagen…you go girl! Erik needs this new game system.

Merry Christmas…and to all a Good Night!
