Nintendo is RUINING AMERICA'S YOUTH! (In 1991, that is.)

It's 1991 and Nintendo is ruining America's youth.

Can you say "Glurge"? I knew you could.

Wow, I should go back in time and warn past me.

Well, I never played console games in 1991. I was Amiga and PC - and I turned out FINE!!!!

... fuck. I should have played SNES.

I was born in 1994, so I recall Sony ruining my youth. Of course, I've become more of a Nintendo person since then.

... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I honestly don't understand what the point was behind that story.

Perspective over 21 years.

The Super NES was the console of my youth. Ahh, so many great memories...

Atari 2600 and Coleco Vision were the consoles of my youth.

You have my sympathies.

Genesis did what Nintencan't!

Wait, I think I got that wrong...

And this was close to the time where people (and especially politicians) thought that Night Trap encouraged sexual harassment and violence towards women.

Some things never change...

I beg your pardon about "sympathies".

Damn straight. Don't diss the oldies.

Oh, I meant the cruddy, poorly done news broadcast not the internet article. No, the internet article was well made and intelligent.

"At TWO HUNDRED dollars. This costs TWICE as much as the old Nintendo Entertainment System."

And you can't mix and match.

But it's worth it. It offers better adventure, and F-Zero lets you know your status.

$200 in 1991 is has the same purchasing power as $344.53173 in 2012.

I love retro New Media Are Evil videos like this one. Just goes to show that no matter the decade, some people are going to get bent out of shape over ridiculous stuff.

Good grief, that hairdo.

I wonder if there are modern New Media Are Evil that decry the games of today for steering impressionable children towards conservative values. That would be a hoot.

It looks like even the news reporters weren't taking it seriously. I wonder what these people would think of today's Nintendo wrecking children with Wii Us.

Well, there are those holocaust games in which you have to get the Jews burned as quickly as possible - those games label it as fiction, since, of course, the Holocaust never happened.

^Wait, what?

Also, you seems to have a bit of problem with your thing huh Jonah? Sounds problematic in normal life...

You might have noticed the Sarcasm Mode. Though, yeah, those Holocaust games do exist, unfortunately.

Heh. Super Mario World. I loved that game.

^^ I was asking of the holocaust game...seriously, holocaust denial is THIS bad?

That early 90s hair! It burns!!!
