Get into the world of Nintendo

nintendo_cat_cover.jpg

You’ve got to check this out.

Bill from Progressive Boink has posted a hilarious article featuring an old Nintendo catalogue from the 1990. Do yourself a favor and go and read it.

…These little conversation starters are filled with lithium batteries and a terrible resolve. Break them out at your next get-together and watch the party fire up like the final spark of life in a dying man’s eyes.

You’ll understand why I’m having a hard time writing about it once you do. Make sure you read all the captions, you’ll be missing out if you skim it. I particularly enjoyed the caption underneath the main photo on page 17. If you can only check out one page of this thing make it that one.

Not wanting to incur the wrath of fanboys the world over I’ll say this: don’t worry… We’re laughing with them.

    All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure.

    Re:Retro - The Classic Gaming Blog

    [...] It appears yesterday’s post about The World of Nintendo proved rather popular (even if I did tip all the aforementioned websites off about it) so we had to launch there and then. I had about an hour to get the design working in Internet Explorer so it might look a little shakey there. [...]

    the play girlz gaming blog: because guys aren’t the only players » Re:Retro Brings You Back to The Nintendo Glory Days

    [...] Fellow b5 video games channel blog Re:Retro has found a great little article at Progressive Boink that will make you feel like you’re once again in 1990. It’s based around a Nintendo catalogue from that darling year and it will have you in stitches just looking at the cover image. If you were a child of the 80’s, I’m sure you recognize the fashion and style that made the transition into the 1990’s so distinct…and embarrassing. If 90’s hair and a strange resemblance to the red light district (colour only people! colour onlyyy!) doesn’t make you squeamish, then hop on over and have a peek. [...]

    [...] Following this morning’s post I spent a little time on the Progressive Boink website, and found this harrowing tale of Pitfall! Harry, and his somewhat bizzare adventure when the player decides to make him run left instead of right. [...]
