/vr/ - Retro Games

Of course.

>>468504

God, that sherbet is terrible. Eyes were always stale and rock hard, too.

I want a box, badly.

>>468568
And you know what, it I ever spot them in my local ice cream truck's display, I'll almost instantly buy them

Same with the TMNT popsciles

>>468597

I do, too. Nostalgia dies hard.

>>468504
god those things are disgusting.

>>468504
I kept buying them as a kid because the retarded looking face always made me smile.

I never ate the gumballs though, just the ice cream.

>>468504

Those were disgusting. Sadly people praise this consumer marketing culture pushed hard as fuck on kids back in the day. Still do.

>>468504
I remember back in 2001 while in high school, working in a coffee shop/ice cream kiosk at a mall. I would get the promo labels for the Sonic popsicles (the kind you plaster on ice cream trucks and mark the price) and plastering them on my school locker and everywhere else. I think there is still one on my now broken Saturn. Anyways, while the popsicles we're particularly good, i do recall getting 4 of them, blending them up with a cup of apple juice to make a Sonic blue smoothie. Dared some friends to drink it, and those little bits of hard as rock eye candies were shredded into shards and cutting their throats as they drank it. We were stupid 16 year olds.

>>468665
*weren't particularly good

typo earlier!

>>468665
>those little bits of hard as rock eye candies were shredded into shards and cutting their throats as they drank it
Hedgehog spines.

I loved this one, but too bad the gumball was never really much of a gumball since it broke apart and wasn't very chewy.

A lot of kids around town have been wearing Sonic shirts like pic related but without the Sega logo. It struck me as weird that they're still using the classic Sonic design for most of the merchandise. If it weren't for Generations the people wearing it would be confused about why Sonic looks "weird."

I remember loving this shit back in the day. Upon seeing that's it's actually made by Shasta, I have to wonder how.

Favorite was Yoshi Apple.

I used to get the Donkey Kong one, can't find a pic anywhere. Dat banana and chocolate.

>>469353
>Princess Toadstool Cherry
>Not peach flavoured

unacceptable

>>468943

Most people you see doing that are probably in their early to mid 20s. They all remember sonic.

>>469353

>not liking shasta

Do you even game? I bet you don't like Rush either.

>>469353

all we had was faygo ;_;

>>469353
I would drink the fuck out of Yoshi apple. I would drink it until my teeth rot.

>>469353
What year was this? Lived in Texas throughout the 90s but never seen this. To be fair, I rarely saw Shasta anyway.

>>469353
Man I bought some Shata Cola recently because it was cheaper. It was horrible.

Why, Shasta, why have you changed?

The eyes are never in the right place.

Also those ice creams sucked anyway.

>>469441
I never even heard of shasta until I saw this episode of Futurama.

>>469380

Come on.

>>468817
Jesus, at least the Sonic one doesn't look like it wants to murder you

Good, Sonic. You look pretty cool.

>Shasta

Man, Nintendo only licenses out to the shittiest companies, don't they?

>>469440
That really is an awesome ass commercial, you have to admit

>>469441
Never heard of Shasta either

I also never knew what the hell Fresca was until I saw it on Scrubs. I've never seen it sold here until very recently

Live in Alabama, btw, so that probably has something to do with it

>>469660
>gotta cum fast

>>469441
>Shasta
DFW Texasfag here

I only ever saw Shasta at Minyards and even then that was more towards the late 90s.

I knew the product exist, but never saw it sold here.

>>469353
where you buy these anymore?

not to drink, obviously

Hey guys remember this ?
The Sonic candy was okay, but the gamegear bubblegum tasted lame...

>>470006
Yeah, I remember those. I bought one from the corner store circa 1997. The gum was pretty unremarkable and I remember playing with the game gear pretending like it was a real game gear because I didn't have a one. Man I was a pretty sad kid back in the day

>>470006
I got some that were genesis controllers instead of game gears.

>>468504
Is there anywhere to but these damn things besides ice cream trucks?

>>469453

>>469353

I'd love me some Toadstool cherry, if you know what I mean.

>>468817
It doubles as the santa one.

>>469461
peach was her name in the old nes days right?

true/

My only experience with an Ice Cream truck, was buying a Pikachu Popsicle that was pretty much exactly like the Sonic ones. I tried to find a picture of it but they only one's I could find were all of Pikachu, the one i had was just his head, and instead of bubblegum eyes, it had two giant sprinkles for cheeks. it tasted like shit.

I also have some Pokemon Chap-stick from 1998 somewhere around here. My mom carried it in her purse for years, and never threw it away for some reason.

>>469714
Sup fewllow DFWfag.

Never heard of it until 2008-ish when I saw a box in my friends trunk. He said he bought fucktons of it at Sam's because it's cheaper than their bulk Dr. Pepper.
its just slightly sweeter off-brand Dr. Pepper

please respond.. if anyone knows or has a hint

>>469353
I really wish I could find this stuff.

I just want it for MUH NOSTALGIA

>>470649
No idea
The "unopened pop cans from the 80's" market doesn't get enough action to figure out where to buy them

>>468504
>mfw they never got the pupils right and one would be way too high the other way too low making him look retarded

Also fuck sonic those things were disgusting, bought once never bought again.

Fudge bars were the delicious ones.

I don't need my food to look like Sonic The Hedgehog, I just need it to taste good.

But to be fair I did eat the legend of zelda cereal

>>470668
yeah, even if it was opened I'd be okay

I just want the peach one.. I'll look around

Hey fuck yall

I bought these as a kid, and loved them.
The pikachu, the sonic, the demon mario. All.
only the gum was nasty

>>470668
>pop cans

>>470684
>>469416

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REpiQnnp6p8

That still sticks in my head to this day. Feels bad that I missed out on everything else, but I loved my mom and stepdad for buying this for my brother and me every fuckin' day.

>>470863
>Feels bad that I missed out on everything else

What do you mean?

I played an atari (which used to be my dad's) in 1985, a nintendo in 1989, and a genesis in 1994 which is decent but I never got a gameboy

Also I got the nintendo cereal a couple of times but most of the time I'd get cooooooooooooooookie crisp

>>470720
Yes amazing britbongs have internet

>>469660
GET A LOAD OF JIZZ

>>470934

All the other Nintendo food/drink items, I mean. Having one experience is great, but you know...

>>471047
Meh like I said I liked the cereal once or twice but at that age I always went with what tasted better rather than the cartoon stuff

I loved cooooooooookie crisp, and for ice cream I always got fudge bars instead of character ice cream

I always liked the hi-c ecto coolers though but they were just tasty beverages

>>471089

Other way around for me, anon. I was sick of Cookie Crisp and many other cereals(except S'mores), so when the Nintendo cereal came around, my bro and I were on it.

I do remember those ecto coolers as well...can't help but think they changed the mix halfway through its market run though, because it never tasted good after a certain point...

I remember getting these as a kid.

>>471146
>it never tasted good after a certain point

you grew up, anon

you grew up

>>470006
Fuck, I had that sonic and one of those Game Gears. I remember I also got a couple of Gameboy packs with gum/cards like the game gear there.

>>471149
OH JESUS FUCK I HAD THIS SHIT

>>468504

Pac Man and Donkey Kong Scratch off Cards, all the ATARI ads all over my school, the computer lab was filled w/ Atari computers, we got stickers, buttons, tshirts. every other commercial 82 - 84 was games. hell there was a cartoon block of rubiks cube, Pac Man, and Donkey Kong - even Q*Bert had a show- then it was KIDD FUCKING VIDEO !!!!!

>>469353

THANK YOU!

I've been trying find a picture of this shit for years but couldn't ever remember what company it came from.

My mom would always buy it for us when we went to the grocery store (dat vitamin C yo). That and the Kraft Mac & Cheese.

>>469591

I think Fresca is kind of an east coast thing. I never knew about it either.

>>468943

I had this t-shirt as a kid but it was black.

I had the Sonic plush toy as well. I begged my parents for it but they could never find one. Then finally it turned up at the Software etc. (what we had before gamestop) and she got it for me for a birthday/Christmas one day. I was elated.

>>471163

Like hell I did! I imagine what you MEANT to say was, "My taste buds changed," which is likely true. Ah well.

THIS SHIT

>>468654
>Sadly people praise this consumer marketing culture pushed hard as fuck on kids

...Who, exactly? The huge crackdown on that sort of shit is exactly why there was a good ten seven or so years where cartoons just blew ass and the only thing decent for kids to watch was poorly translated animu because all American cartoons consisted of little kids on a playground doing absolutely nothing. It's also part of why Saturday morning cartoons are no longer a big thing.

>>471089

Nope, Ecto Cooler has pretty much always been the same, and lived on long after The Real Ghostbusters was not longer on TV. Eventually it was rebranded to a generic Hi-C drink, and then it was phased out. The only way to get it now is to make it yourself, or go find the Ghostbusters guys at conventions, they usually have a cooler of it.

>>471730

Don't forget the retarded morals they tried to instill at the end of every episode.

Like Inspector Gadget telling you to eat your vegetables or remember to buckle your seat belt or what the fuck ever else.

>>471863

Now, to be fair, if it weren't for that, we wouldn't have "So now you know, and knowing is half the battle!"

>>471730
>It's also part of why Saturday morning cartoons are no longer a big thing.

You mean kids nowadays don't wake up at 6 am on saturday mornings to catch the lineup?

What the fuck's this world coming to?

I got up at 6 am to catch Mr. Bogus,
then watch the bugs bunny and tweety show
then my favorite sonic the hedgehog animated
sometimes I'd watch Super Mario 3 or World
then I'd move on to reruns of reboot
Bump in the night,
Ninja Turtles
Garfield & Friends

seriously saturday morning was a major event for me

What the fuck do kids do nowadays?

>>471895

They're too busy facebooking, texting, and forgetting to enjoy childhood.

>>471729
You just reminded me of something else.
Welch's had these cool as fuck jars once, and what was great was that you could clean them out once you ate all the jelly and use it like a cup.

What I hated the most was that the flavor of the jelly was fucking Grape flavored. I hate grape-flavored things, it reminded me of Dimetapp, but fuck it all, I wanted the Togepi and Squirtle jars.

>>471916
You mean they didn't have strawberry?

BASTARDS!

>>471916

God I wish they still had character labeled jelly jars. The world is just no fun now.

>>471895

..Reruns of ReBoot? Dude, ReBoot came out way, way after all of that shit, except Sonic SATAM and Bump in the Night. In fact, ReBoot was pretty much the last good Saturday morning cartoon for a long ass time, probably up until the WB's reboot of TMNT.

>>471910
Dunno about your kids, but mine get up at 7 am and turn on Spongebob or the Wii. Saturday Morning Variety shows are dead on the big 3, but that doesn't mean kids aren't having fun. They were doing that before we had televisions, y'know.

>>471930
lead paint.

>>471939

I don't have kids and hope to god I never do.

People tell me it's the "greatest thing ever" but I will call any of them a goddamn liar. I'm satisfied with my siblings having them for now because I don't have the burden of raising them myself.

>>471916
I HAD THOSE
The psyduck one broke

>>471960
>lead paint
>on the outside of a jelly jar

Can lead diffuse through glass?

>>471968
Retarded children's tongues can.

>>469660

>>471960

It's the 21st century.

If we can't find a way to get paint on jelly jars without the risk of lead poisoning we should just give up collectively as a species.

>>469412

>>471943
I mean I watched all those shows over the span of my childhood, from oh around 1987 to 1993, 6-12 give or take

This included a pretty eclectic bunch of cartoons, some not on saturday morning of course

I watched Mazinger Z, HeMan and thundercats when I was a little 5-6 year old, and scooby doo

Then I moved on to Ninja Turtles around 1989 I want to say

Then in the early 90's that's when I got into Sonic

Btw videogame shows in my eyes could do no wrong when I was little

Even captain N was epic as fuck to me, loved the Zelda Cartoon and was ACTUALLY DISAPPOINTED THAT OOT LINK DID NOT ACT LIKE THE CARTOON LINK (yeah I just now realize how horrible that would have been)

My childhood encompassed a lot of cartoons

Ducktales, Darkwing duck,

You're on /vr/.

Don't be surprised by the age of some of the denizens. This is the old fuck board if there ever was one.

>>472028
Yeah I'm 32 so what

it's a retro board, you'd be surprised how many guys on this board are in their 30's

>>472041
and on the plus side this also means there's a lot of brotherhood here

I've noticed distinct lack of HURRR I'M BEING A NEWFAG AND NO ONE CAN STOP ME here

>>472028
>thinking all people who are on /vr/ are 20-somethings like you

No. Get out.

>>472048

I'm 24 and that post still struck me as odd.

When you see shit like the atari and colecovision being discussed you have to know there are people on here in their thirties.

>>472041
The average age of the board is about 21. By 4chan standards, that's pretty old.

>>472048
>thinking the guy you're talking to is in his 20s
>implying not 16

>>471916
YOU FUCKER!!!

I only had the Winnie the pooh ones... ;_;

>>472067
>When you see shit like the atari and colecovision being discussed you have to know there are people on here in their thirties

That would imply said consoles magically stopped existing in 1985

>>472067
>When you see shit like the atari and colecovision being discussed you have to know there are people on here in their thirties

And then again, if I went on /o/ and discussed 57 Chevys, does that mean I'm like 60?

>>472084

I wasn't attempting to imply that.

It's just that most people born after that don't give a shit about those consoles. That was back when a console couldn't come close at all to the quality of an arcade cabinet.

So I can assume this place is overflowing with hipsters or there are some older people on here. I don't make the standard /v/ assumption of considering everybody who likes games/consoles like that to be a hipster.

>>472105

Apples and oranges.

>>472067
Yeah but the newer kids weren't around in the Atari's heyday

In fact I missed its heyday as well because I was a drooling baby before 1985

The only reason I know Atari is because my dad owned one and I played pacman, indiana jones, word blaster, rubix cube, etc at the tender age of 5 or 6

The Gameboy Shampoos smelled awesome and were pretty fun and novel.

>>472127
Now, I was cognitive for the NES, Genesis, and SNES eras, and like I said you wouldn't understand if you didn't live through those system's heydays

I saw the dawn of 3d gaming, pushing aside the fake future promise of FMV games

I saw pokemon come and go but of course I never got into it because I was chasing skirts at the time

>>472115
>It's just that most people born after that don't give a shit about those consoles

Actually though, there's no good games on pre-NES consoles.

>So I can assume this place is overflowing with hipsters

There really isn't all that much discussion about 2nd gen consoles compared to NES and later for the above-mentioned reason. I mean, how much can you say about Galaxian?

>or there are some older people on here

Yes, about 3-4 manchildren who live in their mom's basement.

Gameboy Bubblebath. It smelled awesome and it was pretty cool.

>>472073
eh, I dont know, /m/, /tg/ and /k/ might average out to be older than us.
I know for a fact that <21 is the minority on /k/, I think their average age is like somewhere in the 25-23 range. But the last time we had a census, some faggots reset their IP and voted as 12 year old girls, so that estimate is about a year-year and a1/2 old.

>>472149

You're being rather guilty of making those foolish /v/ assumptions I mentioned.

There are productive and self-sustaining members of society on this site, mind you. This place is not limited to the gutter dwellers of the world.

>>472163
/v/ is about 15-16. That's pretty well established. I'd think /o/, /g/, and /k/ may be the oldest boards. Perhaps also /out/.

>>472127
>The only reason I know Atari

Of course any schmuck can go on Wikipedia and learn all they want. But then they'll just find that gaming didn't really begin until the NES.

>>472149
I'm one of said hipsters and I sometimes enjoy discussing Atari era stuff although it doesn't get much interest compared to NES and up.

>>472149
>Actually though, there's no good games on pre-NES consoles.

River Raid mother fucker, you best check yourself son.

>>472169
>Of course any schmuck can go on Wikipedia and learn all they want.

ah but they'll never know the details like I do

Like for example do you know how to make it to where Atari Pacman has only 1 ghost?

Only those of us who lived through it know things like this

I can tell the fakers when I see them.

>>472175
>There are productive and self-sustaining members of society on this site
Does taking pics of your niece for a child modeling website count as productive?

>>472190
I bet you don't know why VIC-20 Pac-Man has detailed fruit in Levels 1-2 and colored blocks afterwards.

>>472190
>Like for example do you know how to make it to where Atari Pacman has only 1 ghost?

2600 or 5200 Pac-Man?

>>472194

>I saw this one thing on here one time so everybody does it

What the hell are you even on about?

>>472203
2600 I never played a 5200

Also my dad had the fuckhuge wireless controllers with a giant 1-foot antenna sticking out of them, heavy as fuck and gobbled batteries like crazy, and the signal didn't work right half the time and you had to constantly point it at the receiver

>>472154
>I saw pokemon come and go but of course I never got into it because I was chasing skirts at the time

that was the ultimate babe magnet, didn't you know?

But that's ok. We're all freaks and pedos on here.

>>471730
>The huge crackdown on that sort of shit
... what crackdown? Was there some cultural influence that led to this change?

>>472229
yeah see we don't care if you're 30 or 50, but it is silly when you try to take the moral high ground and pretend you're a normalfag (if you were, you wouldn't be here)

>>472229

Speak for yourself.

Did /v/ or /b/ get too boring for you cupcake?

>>472161
I had some stuff like that, it wasnt a gameboy though. I think it was sanic themed, but I'm not sure. Sega had a lot of random Sonic stuff put out like that, bath products and the like. Makes you wonder how many kids rubbed their balls on a Sonic shaped luffa or something.

I've got some Sonic happy/kids meal toys I can take pictures of if anyone's interested.

This thread is about Retro video game merchandising, not a shitstorm on whose the retro video game Methuselah and who was wearing diapers when you were pushing quarters in the cabinets back in the day. STAY FOCUSED.

Now check out this awesome Mario Shampoo. He's rockin the clean funky fresh afro.

>>472250

To deny is to imply.

Stop trolling.

>>472215
Not that guy, but it was because he got paid a shit ton of money before the game was even finished, so he didnt bother with the rest right?
I dont know if thats correct or not, as I wasn't even alive back then.

Well, I don't remember their original airings on saturday mornings, but anyone remember watching those Mario series on The Family Channel? The only thing worth watching on that network, ever.
They would put The Super Show/Adventures of SMB3/Super Mario World on at random every weekday around 5 PM, and I would always be disappointed if it wasn't SMB3/SMW. I hated those cheesy live action segments in SMBSS.
I flipped through a few episodes on Netflix recently, and, it hasn't aged well. At least that song is still fun to listen to, sort of.

"While we attempt to pull an inane resolution to this absurd situation out of asses go watch some Legend of Zelda clips."

Fuck I miss my childhood...

>>474959
You know what was weird? The guests they would have on the live-action segments of the series. Partially because the 80's had real-life celebrity guest stars for everything. Fucking Sgt. Slaughter was on both GI Joe and Mario. Would have confused the fuck out of me, or made me want a GI mushroom kingdom game.

northern monkey britbongs, get it right

>>476104
I kind of want that Wario one.

Anyone have merch from the Nintendo Power catalogs?

I always wanted to buy a carrying case for my N64 games, but my mom was wary of ordering anything via mail back then so I missed my chance.

>>476160
Remember when Samus Aran was the scuba-diver ghost from Scooby Doo? And why the fuck do they put a Skree instead of a Metroid in this?

>>469453

I can't find any pictures of them, but there were these really good ice cream sandwiches that promoted Super Mario World. They were with vanilla shortbread instead of chocolate, and they had detailed molds of the characters on them.

>>475189
I've still got mine, complete with the hat. That thing was the most un-plush plush ever created. You could murder someone with that head of his.

>>471916

How in the fuck did I miss the Pokemon ones? I used to get those cartoon jellies all the time as a child. The designs on these are actually pretty nice.

>>471895
>Bump in the night
>Reboot
>Ninja Turtles
I, oh my god. I, I think you just gave me an nostalgia attack.

On topic now: Anybody ever have those NES controller mints? Those shitty chalk like mints?

The only things I can remember getting were a little GBA willed with gummies, I think, at Blockbuster. The cool part was, there were notches for holding a GBA game firmly in it.
Another thing was this hard candy I got at a gas station that was shaped like an H and came with a red plastic ladder, and you would put it on top and watch the candy fall along the rungs, kinda like >>476130
The thing that made you buy more than one pack at a time was the fact that the ladders stacked, so potentially you could make one taller than you were yourself and prolong the momentary joy of watching a candy fall to the floor as you tried to catch it right before it fell off.

We had pic related.

You had a chance to win a Gameboy.

>>472386
For real?

>>468665
>rock eye candies were shredded into shards and cutting their throats as they drank it

>>469591
Also Alabama....
Shasta is a dollar tree thing. It' been relabeled Tiki Punch and other shit over the years. Fresca can be found at Mexican stores in the glass bottles. For some reason all of our US Fresca is a diet drink..

>>472375
Some of my favorite toys growing up. I still have Goomba and Mario, but lost the Parakoopa :(

>>488169
I only ever had Luigi and I think I still have some, somewhere. It was always fun to see the weird patterns he'd race in, because he didn't race in a straight line.

>>480695
Now those were delicious. I believe they made those in WWF wrestlers as well.

>>471916
Found one gathering dust

I never ate enough cereal to get one :(

I have a couple of those "gold" Pokemon cards that, I think, BK, gave out years ago. The cards came in the ball.

>>468568
>Eyes were always stale and rock hard
That's because they are chewing gums

>>472161
That's awesome anon!

>>472436
Man, that looks fuckin' delicious.

>>472426
This maccaroni cheese thing never got to germany. although kraft is a german company

So to comment on the Shasta discussion earlier, in NY I saw it once in a blue moon, then I visited my sister in Phoenix and found this in Winco.

This picture doesn't fully cover it, also found Gorilla Munch

Soda is about 4x more expensive, but it come with those little shit, so it sell like water in the desert.
In the Hue country

>>488335
>yes were always stale and rock hard
>That's because they are chewing gums
do what i do buy one on ebay and then tell people you did

Coolest kid on the block with these

>>488443
I want some motherfucking pop-tarts now.

I swear to god these are why I'm fat now.

>>488087
Always nice to see someone from my neck of the woods on here

>>488335
Definately want to get those one of these days along with that rare as hell Stunt Race FX car

Also kind of surprised at how long this thread has gone on. Didn't expect it to be all that popular

the jew that inked this deal probably made so much money

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZH6YKmtQV8&NR=1&feature=endscreen

>>488507
Those were so awesome.

>>488443
These were awesome.
So fuckin awesome

>mfw every product in this thread

>>471916
My grandmother bought the sqirtile one because she saw it in the store and thought it looked "cute"
She still has is and uses it a drinking glass.

>>489482
Your grandmother has good taste.

>>470248
No, it was Toadstool.

Those Gold "Cards" you could get from Burger King back around the release of the Pokemon Movie. I still have a few somewhere, but I'm too lazy to get them out and take pictures.

>>489576
I remember those!

That Gold Jiggly Puff!

>>489576
i had a Pikachu and a Charizard! damn i wish i knew where they were

>>472161
I got one of these for Christmas once as a stocking stuffer. I was so excited to take a bath that night. I remember it smelled pretty good too.

>>469591
I'm surprised. Maybe its because I'm a poorfag, but I remember drinking Shasta as long as I can remember.

I remember getting this. Shit was so cash.

>>489576
Those plastic balls you have there at the bottom are collectible, too, they were recalled after kids kept suffocating.

>>472241
I used to have a Knuckles one where he's surrounded by a cloud. If you have it too and post an image of it, I will be quite pleased.

>>490368
I tore that shit up.

>>479280
It's pretty cool.

>>490368
I want a taste at Sonic's meatballs, they must be tomatoish and juicy, spicy meatballs.

I'm so putting Sonic's balls in my mouth.

No wait, that was the joke. Hah hah hah.

>>490379
Oh shit, I remember that if you took the Pokeballs back to Burger King, they gave you free fries.

Must have been glorious fries in trade for them pokeballs.

>>488443
Shit nigga, you remember when KFC made those Pokemon plushies? I really want their Vulpix one.

>>490442
I had the Zubat one, my mom probably threw it away.

I got one of these at a flea market a while back. I collect retro Nintendo merchandise, and this is by far the most ridiculous thing in my collection. (pic is from etsy, not mine)

>>490567
It would be right at home with a Krusty the Clown endorsement.

>>472234

Angry birdies... EVERYWHERE, and nothing else

>>490440

I feel sorry for any kids that actually did that.

>>470275

This is just creepy.

My god! I remember this! My mom got this for me from AVON. It did smell good!

>>491778

In elementary when Pokemon first came out, it sweeped my school with a fever unlike any other. We used to play Pokemon in the field during recess. And by Pokemon, I mean pretending to play as Pokemon.

We would pick a Pokemon and play fight as that Pokemon during recess. I was always Bulbasaur. I remember saying "Bulba! Bulbasaur!" loudly while my other friends would say "Squirtle squir!" and whatnot, then we would charge at each other pretend fight.

I remember some girls laughing at us once. When I look back at it, we must've looked retarded as all hell. All ten of us.

One of my fondest childhood memories was on my birthday in Kindergarten.

It was an ordinary Kindergarten day until my mom walked in with one of these in the box with some balloons tied on it. I was so goddamn excited. It was my favorite thing and I would sleep with it for years to come.

I think that Halloween was when my brother and I both went as Poliwhirl too: we wore blue sweats with eyes and a the spiral cut out and sewed onto the sweat shirt. Shit was so cash

ya know, i've only played zero mission, not the original. i've unlocked the original in every fucking metroid that was out and included it at the time, but fuck was it hard. I always wanted to see what that kraid battle was like, but i'm the type of person who refuses to look stuff like that up on youtube.

>>490368

Shit I forgot all about these.

The two on the right are those homosexual new sonic ones so fuck that. I used to get the one on the left.

>HEE HEE, WHO'S-A CALLING NOW?

>>492774
ha. my lil bro had the mario kart phone

>>488449

I guess so if you wanted to prove that-

A. you were poor and shopped at payless shoes and
B. you were too retarded to tie your own shoes.

>>492774
That thing was fucking LOUD and I don't mean Mario talking

>>488454

Nah, you're fat because you have no discipline or self-control.

>implying you didn't run around holding it

>>488421

The west coast goes balls to the wall with Shasta.

The east coast has......Fresca or some crap.

>>472386

WHOOOOAAAAAT?

>>492793

I still have one of these collecting dust somewhere.

No, I didn't run around with it. I think it even still has the tag fully intact.

>>472392

I have the psychotic dog.

I didn't even like earthworm jim so it came as sort of a surprise on my birthday one year. If it hadn't been for the packaging I never would have know what game it was from.

>>492559
You've never been to a local/state supermarket?
This sort of thing is extremely common. They always have some sort of store brand.

My dad came home with this one day and I nearly shit myself.

Back in September last year, I went to Euro gamer (britfag here), and they had pic related for sale. They had others as well, including a Star, and a NES controller, I think they may have had a 1up as well, but I'm not sure.

Britian never seems to get some retro vidya sweets as far as I know, only thing retro around here are the Ice Cream trucks that are called "SUPER MARIO" and have pictures of Mario, Luigi, Peach and Bowser on the truck.

>>492791
we have shasta over here. the fruit punch shasta is the best flavor.

also, is it me or does pokemon have 0 integrity and is easily the most marketed franchise ever?

>>492848
They have loads of those in Forbidden Planet in London. Theres Zelda Shields and Various Pac-Man characters and Atari Joysticks filled with candy too.

>>490442
I've got one of Dratini. Love that thing to death, but to be frank, I'd would have loved to have had one of Ditto even more

Also have this huge ass Bulbasaur that I won at a Carnival

>>492848

You have a chav movement instead of a hipster movement. As hated as hipsters are they really brought retro gaming to the forefront in the states.

Enjoy your adidas jumpsuits and false gold chains.

I used to have a super mario walkman, can't find a picture of one online anywhere.

I used to have one of these Mario helicopter car things too.

>>492820
I LOVE the early mario merchandise and art

I had this lunchbox but it broke

also

>Mario playing Zelda 2 in his spare time

>dat holding an NES controller like a WiiMote

>>492873

DAT FUCKING ZELDA 2 ARTWORK

>>492886
Shame it's obscured.

>>492873
Hell yeah! I had this version, and was the envy of all of first grade (for some reason I was the only one that had one.)

I used to collect these. Each of the cards had a scratch off game related to the various titles. My favorite one I recall was probably Punchout.

Really simple stuff, but then again I was such a little Nintendo whore back in the day.

>>492856

Ha, that's cool, I should check it out.

>>492862

Oh no, we're getting the Hipster Movement now, but not for vidya, or if it is, it hasn't passed the Gameboy Color yet, the chav movement died down when Argos started to price that shit a bit higher.

>>492891

I knew I didn't dream it, I think there was a pretty good version of it on one of Nintendo Powers that dealt with Zelda 2

fuck, why is it so hard to find

>>476160
I had the 88 or 89 version. shit was cash

>>492901
Oh, I didn't realize someone had already posted one. MARIO LUNCHBOXERS UNITE. We definitely reigned over the recess area (when it wasn't closed off because of black widows)

>>488335
Fuck me running I used to own one of those! Best watch ever. Damn thing broke and got thrown away though. I miss that watch.

>>490567
I wonder how many older sisters and mothers sprayed that over their clits.

>>492941

>>492953

The Nintendo Cereal System.

They all suck now though.

>>472375
Oh man, the best Burger King toys were the Pokemon ones. Mostly because there were a shitton of them

Did any of you guys have this? My half-brother had it, and I remember having fun fucking around on it when I was a kid,

>>494136
Fuck me, I forgot the pic.

>>494139
No but as a young bully I beat up a kid and took his super mario world watch

it was fun to play

>>494551

>>494551
DAVID
IS THAT YOU
I FUCKING HATE YOU SO MUCH

YOU GOT FUCKING WREKT WHEN I SMASHED YOUR POKEMON YELLOW CART THOUGH

>>496416
No this is Tony

The guy I stole it from is named Kevin

Back in the 4th grade I was a bigger guy but now I see him on Facebook and he's like twice my size lol

wouldn't fuck with him now

I had this kickass Mario choose your own adventure book. It had something to do with a radio station making people switch brains.

>>468504
I got one of those at a zoo I went to.
One of the eyes was in the center of his forehead, and the other was in that center spike of hair.
Apparently they have really crap quality control for these things.

>>496438
>mfw I read that

Yeah have you ever been so confused that you turn into a mexican clown?

>>496448
I loved that book to death. If I knew where it was I would go read it again right now. I remember getting freaked out as a kid at the ending where Luigi gets his brain switched with a goldfish and is trapped forever.

>>472375
I've bought two parakoopas and a goomba at the Goodwill before for 50 cents each. The didn't work but were pretty nice to have.

>>476104
I'd buy it for a laugh.

>>490442
That's where I first heard about Pokemon, and Vulpix was the one I got.

>>489576
I still have my Gold Charizard Pokeball.

>>476104
>you'll never have a plush lugidildo

>>489576
Wasn't there a Mewtwo one?

>>496563
I guess I could call it a... Luigildo?

>>492793
I still have the normal Mario one. I remember seeing the Wing Caps, but I can't call to mind if I owned one.

>>492657
Those things were so great and I lots of the different kinds. It bums me out that my mom gave them away, I at least want a clefairy or my ratty old squirtle that I took everywhere and his teal skin became grey. Oh well, some less fortunate kids had those bitchin' toys after me.

The Pokemon Snap cabinets at Blockbusters that printed stickers of pictures you took was the coolest shit ever. I've still got the squitle and charmander cards that me and my bro had respectively.

I've got a Famicon universal T.V. remote from a Japanese vending machine.

>>496662
Holy shit, toadally forgot about that. I still have stickers stuck to random things around my house from that.

>>468504
I had one of those.

>>471916
I had a Charmander one up until last year when somebody threw it away. I never ate the jelly. It resembled Motor oil last I saw it.

>>476104
Oh god why does that make me laugh so hard

His forehead is longer than his entire body

>>488443
These were the best ones
>dat tasty frosting and crunchy sprinkles

>>492873
DUDE
There was one kid in my 2nd grade class who had a lunch box with that exact Zelda 2 art on it.
Back then I didn't know what it was because I grew up with a playstation

>>492782
No, food just tastes to good, smoking, video games, I manage that all in moderation. But pop-tarts, man, an explosive flavour and then it's gone leaving you desperate for more with shit loads of calories per pop-tart. I ate so many of those fuckers. Once I cut out pop-tarts and started taking synthroid I lost forty pounds in a few months.

Sage for blog-shit.

>>470006
I had SO MUCH of these. I'd get them every time I went to the store. Little plastic gamegears and cards everywhere.

>>476104

>>496662
Someone was selling one of them on eBay a few months ago if I remember right.

>>496705
Why are Japanese vending machines so cool? Famicom remotes, hot as fuck coffee, pairs of panties, they have fucking everything.

>>492731
Nintendo should send you a thank you card.

>>496875
>smoking
>moderation
Wow, you are so delusional.

>>497263
I was a 1-2 pack a week smoker,but I cut cigarttes out entirely and now I just smoke a pipe once or maybe twice a week, sometimes not at all.

Mario bubble bath comic

Mario as a badass gangsta.

A pic of bubble bath Super Mario products.

This isn't a product, but it's craft.

It's somewhat a product. Just for creepy nostalgia.

>>472105
You could be. Or maybe 40s if you said in your post, I remember my dad driving one. Depends on the words you used. People here describe their first console, or fun times as kids. It's safe to assume most people on here are pretty old by 4chin standards.

>>497430
>Taking a bath with clothes completly on
>Mario actually scrubbing his back through his overalls
>Princess ruining what's likely an expensive royal dress

>>497430
that princess bubble bath makes me feel comfy for some reason

Fuck all the hipster haters with poor memories, the Nintendo cereal was DELICIOUS.
I grieved when it disappeared from the market.

>>497542
>>497576

>>497594
Mario looks like some kind of proto-Weegee.

>>497608
Holy shit you're rite.

>>497576
It makes me horny because I'm imagining Peach taking a bath.

>>497645
I bet there was once a kid who fapped in the bathtub looking at the bottle and imagining that.

>>497594
There was really nothing special about it, aside from the fact that you were eating Nintendo-related child kibble.

Still ate that shit up, along with that TMNT cereal with those silly "ninja nets"

>>472149

>>Actually though, there's no good games on pre-NES consoles.

thank fuck someone is not afraid to say this, I've always thought that

all those Atari 2600 games and shit are dated to the point of hilarity, it's like playing a game on a calculator, only pure unbridled nostalgia could make those games in any way appealing

>>489576

shit, I remember those, I might even have some laying around somewhere, but I can't remember where exactly

remember they recalled the plastic pokeballs because kids could suffocate with them? (some dumb fucking kids)

>>497898
Fucking everything good and fun got recalled because of dumb fucking kids.

>>497904
So true.

What about these delicious bites?

>>497912
Sadly, I never got to partake in these. I am too young to have tried them (born 91).

>>497912

I remember it tasting like ass

>>497664
You mean... you didn't?

>>497937
My first fap was to those KiSS dolls.

>>497939
My first fap was to Rouge in SA2 I would go to the chao garden and jump around. Those jiggle physics

>>497939

my first fap was to the underwear section in this

>>497939
oh man...

mine was april from TMNT, but KiSS dolls were probably the first porn (ish) thing I ever got.

>>497939
kiss dolls,my fucking nigga there were adult kiss dolls and you could unlock their hidden features somehow

>>497953
Right click + cut. Made even the most impossibly clingy pairs of panties come off.

>>497939

what the fuck is this? I didnt have the internet as a kid

>>497973
Virtual paper dolls. They were once very popular with the anime community. My sisters first got them for the Sailor Moon ones. When I was 12 or so, I discovered the glory that was undressing them.

Sometimes I'm glad the 90s are over

>>497416
>Mario helping a kid wash his hair
Oh my god, so creepy let's make an imagemacro of it!

>Peach doing the same
Nothing, it's normal

>>497962
There was another way too but I forgot how to do it.

>>498571
No way, I would never get this. Nope. No way at all. Who the fuck am I kidding, I'll take ten Reis.

>>492793
There was a Bowser one, too. I dont think anyone bought one, but I always wanted it

>>498582
/r/mra please go.

I have a Battletoads three-ring binder I found at GW a few years back.

I had one of these things and I was so mad because why the hell would Link want to kill the Deku Princess

Since we're doing brutally silly marketed shit, maybe you guys can help me

>A pokemon "ball in the goal" game
>Was in plastic shaped like a GameBoy
>It had a removable cart in the back which was Electobuzz (I think), and if you took it out, you couldn't play the game

>Electobuzz

>>506249
You are probably thinking of these from Burger king, there were a ton of different ones

>>506249
I'm not sure this is what you're talking about, but it kinds sounds like this.
It came with some pokémon figurines, you were supposed to knock them over with the Gameboy shaped toy that launched a ball on a string.

>>497430
Wait, those are DS games in the background.
Those bottles there are probably quite the collector's item.

>>472392

Here's my collection.
Just added the Mario Candy Containers and Mega man E-tank just because.

>>494136
>>494139
I have a Super Mario Bros watch like that

>>492848

I still have my box, that where I keep the grass. I had a nes controller too but it got lost

>>502096

I have the full set. It was from Nintendo Power. I didn't get the plush multicolored Yoshi set though.
