Oh man, that was great! I was surprised at how "serious" it was. I thought it was going to be totally aimed at kids but they were actually quite serious talking about the systems and their various "features". Probably for the parents I imagine. What's crazy is that I have vague memories of this one show on Nickelodeon, which may have been this very show, where they had like a contest. I forget what it was exactly, but at the end the winner got to run through this "maze" where the walls were aligned with tons of NES games top to bottom! The games had a sticky on the back (like velcro stuff or whatever) and they wore a body suit and helmet that they could use to stick as many games as possible onto themselves! The catch was they had to be quick cause they were racing against a time limit and the only way to take home the games was for them to beat the clock as well as make it to the finish line (which I believe was a slide they went down). But I remember staring at the TV in utter astonishment at the crazy-ness of what was going on (walls of games!) and wishing that I could be that kid. lol. I could never recall the name of the show though, so maybe it was this one! Very interesting. :) LOL. Oh man, that was great! I was surprised at how “serious” it was.
