This video was made in 1991, but it feels like it comes from another dimension.
It’s an instructional video, made by Nintendo, to help retail staff deal with customers when selling Nintendo consoles.
It’s unreal.
The soft focus, the haircuts, the music. Plenty of you whippersnappers reading this most likely weren’t even born when this was made, but I was very much born. I would have been nine or 10 around this time. I actually find it strange to believe I existed in a world that looked like this.
Anyway, this video is flat out hilarious. From the customer that wants to bake the store clerk a pie, to the guy who wants to return a NES covered in mud — this is video is a goddamn time machine to another world.
This is video game history.
