Wait. You mean I could have jumped inside of the TV when I played F-Zero? I'm getting my Super Nintendo back from my mom, TODAY!

The NES was $100?

I thought all pre-Wii Nintendo consoles launched at $200. (unless the reporter was comparing a later reduced NES price to the launch SNES price).

I'm Nintenpendant.

I'm pretty sure that they were talking about the "then current price" of the NES. The NES Deluxe set (with R.O.B the robot/light gun/gyromite/duck hunt) probably retailed for $200 when it debuted.

The video is pretty interesting, especially the "f-zero" part. Classic!

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
