It's weird how Nintendo whored out in the 80's, then went the other way for a decade. You could barely find any licensed stuff around 2000-2006. Now theyre back to whoring out again.

There was a limited rerelease of Ectocooler when Lady Ghostbusters came out. It tasted like orange kool-aid.

So if I remember right, everything in the 80's was pink on turquoise, and everything in the 90's is crooked and written in marker.

Also, nice use of the girl in the inset, actually eating the product. SEE? She's eating it!

I grew up with parents who thought candy and kids cereals and the like were worse than drugs.

Sucked because when I was getting high at 12 all I had for munchies was some granola bars and Cheerios.

tfw when your friends are like "yo lemme get some of those cheetos, my dude" and you're like "what, these are baby carrots?"  :snoop

Wow, all the questions. When I agreed to sign up for this site, I didn't expect the bloody Spanish Inquisition. (carefully inserted Monty Python cue) A few people wanted to be my friend only after hearing that I had won it. But I prefer the real friends, which is probably why I am so lonely right now. At the age we all were at the time. Everybody was really excited about it. Several of my classmates and family came over to see it. This was before the internet was in mainstream. Yes, there was a time like that not too long ago for all newcomers. We pretty much kept it kind of quiet at the time. Most of the people who find out that I own it don't believe it until I show them the picture of me when I was younger. Then they want to know can they come see it. Or do I want to sell it. I have had one person contact me before a few years ago about the phone booth. She said she was bored and was looking up movie stuff and found the link to the picture. I wouldn't say that it was ever cool or not cool. It was just like anything else in the house, when you first get it, you check it out alot and then it just becomes part of the furniture to a point. As for the full story. It is kind of short. I started getting Nintendo Power when it first came out and each month I would enter and hope to win. Then one day, the phone rang and my mother answered and thought it was a joke. They then talked to me and told me that I had won and I couldn't believe it. I figured that I might win one of the runner-up prizes that everyone wins, but I never thought that I would actually win a grand prize. Now if I could just do the same with the Powerball, I would be set. They told us that a carrier would be contacting us about the details of the delivery at a later date. Then we got a call from United Van Lines and they said that wanted to delivery and asked for directions and told us what day to expect it. Well, I was still thinking that this was some type of joke. So on the day that they told us, I was checked out of school early. All of the people in my class said I had to take some pics of it and bring to school. Which I did. The truck could not come all the way up our road because he didn't think he would have a good place to turn around. Yes, it was a dirt road at the time. (Cue hillbilly music) And we did live in a single wide trailer. The man carted the thing all the way up the road, a little over an acre, to the house. He set it down if front of us and I think that was the point were we realized it was for real. There were only three peices that came with it. The actual booth. The lid which they put on top of it and the phone with the two blinking lights. Well, my dad measured it and the door and of course it would not fit, so he measured the window frame and figured out that by taking about the window, frame and all, it would slide in. So my uncle and new grandfather (the guy who married my grandma) came over to help us lift it up. And of course, me being the young one, I was told to stay out of the way. Well, they got it up through the window and into the room. But when they tried to stand it up, it was too tall. So they basically knocked a hole in the ceiling. In my room was a little area where it fit nicely with about 2 inches on each side. Then in the mail came a give certificate for $1200 dollars, the video game, and the movie. Back then, that type of money lasted me almost 2 and 1/2 years for a private phone in my room. And it was pretty much unheard of for someone my age to have a private phone. Well, since the phone that came with the booth was nothing but a movie prop, Nintendo said for us to buy a phone, send them the receipt and they would reimburse us for it. So we got one of those phones that looks like it was out of the 1960 or so, it was also a coin bank. And there I was with my own phone and a booth to sit it. My dad did have to rig up some lights on the inside of it. I used to stash all of my pornos up in the light fixture. Thanks dad. Ever since then, people I went to school with will sometimes ask me if I still have it. Once we got the new house though, there was really no room for it, so it was put out in the storage building and we put a tarp over it to try to protect it a little bit. Anytime you are ever in the area get in touch with me and I'll let you take a pic inside it. Thats pretty much the story of it.

YO DUDEability

I miss the times when Japanese games were a force to be reckoned with in the West. They got the sales, the popularity and the mindshare. Everyone wanted to play japanese games. Western gaming had what? Ultima 2 and Zak McKraken? Meanwhile there was Sega, Nintendo, Capcom dominating the fuckng WORLD!!!

It's kind of similiar how in the 80s the generic Cyberpunk was connected with Tokyo/ Japan like it was the most likely place to happen on Earth being most advanced etc.

Those times will never come back.

Japan did mid-tier better than anyone, but it's actually kind of bizarre that the Japanese indie scene is so anemic.
