I had no idea 95% of that stuff even came out.

I guess bob wasnt out yet when they made that catalogue. Sadly I knew of alot of those products. Kind of makes you wonder what happened to nintendos marketing division.

[fleecy]

from the look of that catalog, they may have died of shame and embarassment...

I looked at my icehole in the mirror today, it blew my farging mind! Bastiches.



Anyway... I think that we see that Nintendo's plans to dominate the world have since dwindled.

look at those SHOES!!!!!!! nice find soulxtc, i remember this stuff.

[notbob]

where are the video games?

even in 1990, when i was in 8th grade, i would have thought this catalog sucked. it's all garbage modeled by morons

[Excrement_Cranium]

True, notbob. I have seen more games advertised in the funny paper fill in contests.

[soulxtc]

yeah I think its geared more towards the WORLD of NINTENDO, ie gear and shit, like lunchboxes, trash cans, bed sheets, etc..

"Be cool at school"...lol

[PiRaNeTuS]

Have any of you even read the text that goes with the pictures?


ROFL

[Potato]

LOL nice...

[notbob]

the captions start out normal, but start to get freaky by the power pad page. by the end, they are dropping f-bombs

i didn't even notice them, dazzled by the horrible clothing (even by 1990 standards) i like old catalogs of video games or old manuals, old christmas catalogs etc. imagine my disappointment with this dud, though with the captions, it is much better

[evilmegaman]

lol I read the captions that's why it's awesome ;)

The rest of Progressive Boink, especially the Dugout (http://www.progressiveboink.com/dugout/), is pretty damn funny as well.

"buy this watch because paying attention in church is not important."


tooooo funny! I still have some of my game mags from the early 80's to the early 90's. I never got rid of them because of the "easter eggs" and cheat sections.
