Nintendo Power
I stumbled across this the other day. It's an old nintendo catalog from 1990 whose pages were scanned to a website. I'm sure all my fellow 21 year olds that are in their prime will be able to relate to this.
(Click on the above picture.)
I am amazed that Nintendo had products in so many markets. They sold clothes, cartoons, furniture, watches, karaoke machines, and of course- video games. I think I owned 7 of the products pictured on the site. Be sure to read the captions that were added.

What an amazing assortmet of crap that Nintendo marketed. I'm sure we know someone who owned a ton of that stuff. Anyway, I believe I had 7 of the items as well.
My childhood must have sucked; I didn't have any of that stuff. But I did have a hat that made a comet trail.
The PowerPad!
The least used Nintendo item in history... but by God, I had one.
I had the Powerpad.. I knew I was one of the fastest people alive after I out-ran Cheetah. I never got the powerglove though. Can anyone name which movie that premiered in?
One of the other items I had was the organizer featured on page 16 of the catalog. Their spoofed caption was 'It seems our model Spazzy here has missed the point of an "organizer", but we're sure you'll do much better.' Spazzy did a much better job than I did.
The powerglove made its debut in the greatest video game movie ever "Wizard" starring none other than the "Wonder Years"'s own Fred Savage and some random autistic kid that was sweet at video games.
Anyway, if I remember correctly, weren't you once labeled as the slowest defender in the league, Dev?

Yeah didn't you have a mental laps on spring break one time, when you jumped out of the window to go run the beach so you could be a better soccer player.
Good job on the movie trivia Crummy. Ideally, we could live in a world without labels. But as LJ pointed out, spring break conditioning and other alcohol-induced runs helped counteract a former coach's 'motivation.'
