Amazing thread.

In this issue of German "Power Play" from August 1990" is a pretty big article about Summer Ces in Chicago.

Nostalgia trip, thanks OP.

Ah the Game Gear, that thing could have its own personal mini fusion reactor from the distant future and you'd still only manage to get 3 hrs portable gaming.

Gonna need me a TG-16 polyester bomber jacket.

Will watch later.

Dag gummit now I want a crt again. Curse you nostalgia!

edit: Also, what's going on here exactly?

Typing of the Dead was a documentary.

 

[Phediuk]

Great video.

Commodore was really on death's door in the US by this point, ouch.

Starfleet officer spotted at 4:51

How is he steering Yoshi's head? Is there a dwarf person under there?

 

[Neverwas]

i think i was at this CES. This or the year before it. I remember Gargoyle's Quest being shown...

 

[SmokedMeat]

I graduated high school in '91.

Nice video.

Acid wash jeans? Yes!
Talk about fps? Nope!

And I had that issue of EGM. I'd already been buying them since the 1990 Winter CES issue.

showing off magician lord... god I still love that game.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Holy shit. Thanks Dicer, that was fun. May I have another?

I loved the (SEGA?) speed comparison video of SMW and Sonic 1 being played together. The SMW had the worst player I've ever seen. They couldn't jump over an obstacle.

Yeah that was hilarious. I still would have picked Mario World back then because it was Mario goddammit!

Was that Ed Semrad at about 4m30 at the magazine rack?

It moves with his legs.

I knew I recognized him. That's totally him.

It's one person with a silly costume and fake Mario legs.

Like he is wearing an inflatable ring with a duck head in the pool.

I was a year old. *gasp* awesome vidz.

I was 16. Awesome time to be a teen.

 

[The Real Abed]

I was 11 in 1991. Just about to enter high school. (In our town, high school was 7-12. There was no middle school back then.)

Oh wow! You have like seen all there is in gaming, huh?

 

[sixteen-bit]

anyone notice the Dennis Franz cameo @ 4:40?

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

Guy at 4:15 is epic

Guy behind him just like "what the fuck....."

So fascinating. I wish we could teleport a bunch of neogaffers to the 91 showfloor and play all the games!
