From A Simpler Time: Nintendo in 1988

Monday 12 May 2008 @ 11:35 pm | By Ivan 'Nahu' Lozano 2 Comments

Remember when video games were not the scapegoat for violence and murder? When video games where fun for the whole family, toys for kids to enjoy. It was a simpler time, a kinder time, it was around 1988.

Here’s an Inside Edition piece from back in ’88 with Howard Phillips on the Nintendo craze that was taking over the US.

Always remember, you are the Mario brothers and don’t you forget to state that next time you commit a violent crime obviously inspired by video games.
