When I was a kid I remember a lot of things, watching turbo teen, playing my handheld [url]defender game[/url] for weeks on end- trading 2600 games with the neighbor- but one thing I don't remember is seeing or buying these video game character "rub n' play transfers", but they are here and unopened so I have scanned them for you to all enjoy.
DONKEY KONG
pretty nifty, though I wonder why there are 2 different marios and princess peaches, and not one that looks like the video game and one that looks more realistic, it's more like 2 drawings by 2 different artists.
FROGGER
I have always wondered why frogger is carrying a briefcase, but the real question is- why are frogs driving the cars and trucks? You would think that if the frogs were smart enough to be the ones actually driving they would have made a crosswalk, also on the back "screen" to rub your transfers onto there are already things on the screen- not so cool
ROBOTRON 2084
this is my personal favorite if for no other reason than the vacant stares of the pupil-less family
though yet again there are already characters on the "screen" provided on the back to use- and not ony characters but robotron guy himself.
well that is about that, but in closing I will say this- when I find more crap around the houe I will slap it on a scanner.
I want to say I had something like these a long long time ago. Can't remember what of (no doubt Ninja Turtles) but they stopped sticking after a while and became useless. :(
Good find!
I recently found a bunch of crap in my basement too, including an eat-shit-in-the-living-room-while-you-play-video-games food tray with all the Mario characters on it.
I should do an entry like this at some point.
Also i just noticed that Frogger has a briefcase.
That makes me smile.
