Gotta love the bullshots/footage of CG running on high-end Silicon Graphics workstations at the end - I liked/like the N64 but it was nowhere near powerful enough to do things like that in realtime (hell, I don't think even the PS2 could do that) despite using a Silicon Graphics developed graphics chipset, lol. Also, this guy clearly went to the Keanu Reeves school of acting, lol.

My parents took me to Sears in the nearby city to get a new system for my 6th birthday (August 1996) since the hand-me-down NES and Genesis were really frustrating to set up and get to work correctly. I had the choice of the boxed SNES with Donkey Kong Country pack-in, or the entire kiosk that played (as far as I can remember would be) Donkey Kong Country 3. I remember the lady sales associate describing DKC3 and "the girl" (Dixie) and likely seeing the levels with water, maybe the first one or one of the waterfall levels with the porcupines. Parents went with the boxed version because there was no way we could get the kiosk home or have a place for it. But I will never forget this and the walls of different games and systems. I think I remember seeing previews on the many TVs for games for it and the PS1. They were likely offloading the kiosk since the N64 was about to release the next month, but as a little kid I had no idea. I would later rent Super Mario All-Stars thinking it was Super Mario 64 lol I've been back to that Sears a few times with the excitement of maybe seeing those sights again, but obviously it was never the same and the last time I managed to go there several years ago their video game selection was practically nil and void. Oh, to have a time machine to go back and just observe and see what things looked like. But all I'll have is these memories.
@GekkouKitsune3 жыл бұрын
Another thing is the video game area was like this entire corner of the store. The walls were the locked glass holders, and it was games (or those cards that you had to take to the counter to get the game) upon games for as far as the eye can see. There were a few short aisles too. I can't remember when I got my Game Boy Pocket but it was some time after this. So imagine a kid who had only ever had NES and Genesis up to this point, seeing stuff for SNES, maybe still NES, likely N64 & PS1, Genesis, Saturn, Game Boy, and who knows what else (Game Gear?? NEO GEO??) and I was just some little country kid who only saw what one video rental store had to offer. God I wish I could go back to experience it all. I was inundated with sensory overload so I wasn't really paying much attention to what was going on in front of me with the sales associate and all that.

@madden8021 Жыл бұрын
Kind of nice to see them bashing the Game Gear and the lesser popular Turbo Express and Lynx for how heavy and battery hungry they are. Reason as to why they were like that is because the Game Gear, Lynx and Turbo Express were like this is because that Color screens weren't really there just yet and that they had to make it heavy because of the backlight display and more batteries mean that you'll have to spend more money to have batteries. The Gameboy color didn't happen till 1998 and backlight for the GBA SP in 2003 which now debunks this claim.
@FlyingDuckMan3605 ай бұрын
@madden8021 Sega had such a memorable advertising ad campaign in the Game Gear era that endlessly mocked the Game Boy's "Creamed Spinach Color" screen. One commercial had a dog stare at the two handhelds as the announcer said "If you were colorblind and had an IQ of less than twelve, then you wouldn't care which portable you had. Of course, you wouldn't care if you drank from the toilet, either." Another commercial had a young Ethan Suplee (of My Name is Earl fame) hit himself on the head with a rigid, dead squirrel to see color on his Game Boy. This was Nintendo's way of firing back.
