      Went to NYC a few months back. Got Covid pretty bad, bed ridden through Christmas. Place smells like urine, marijuana, cigarette smoke, exhaust, and sewage. So gross. My sisters box is cleaner. However, this video is great. I love seeing all the toys and video games. Sega released the Master System right about then.

    In 1986 High School was ending for me. I was becoming an "adult". Ironically when I was a little kid I so wanted to be older. Now I dream of those days of childhood. The 70's were my toy and games times. From Toys R Us to the JC Penny's Christmas Catalog and the Sears Wish Book those were the three best places and items for a kid. K-Mart, Target, Southridge Mall, and some other places filled in the gaps. It was a wonderful time to be a kid. I really miss them, but seeing these videos brings a little of it back. Thank you for that. God Bless you all. 🙏

    This is pretty crazy footage!
    The NES would’ve only been a year old at this point (only in test markets LIKE FAO Schwartz in ‘85 before slowly going cross country in the next year), and I don’t think the NES was even super popular just yet at this point!
    If you see the box at 1:45, you’ll even notice that the set’s not even called “The Deluxe Set”. This was just a basic set Nintendo released when the NES first launched just so that it came as a cool toy and not a video game system at first.
    We’re basically seeing one of the most influential game consoles of all time right as it was dipping its toes in the North American market!
    If you have any more NES launch footage (like FAO Schwartz in Christmas 1985), that’d be so cool to share!
