From the attic, random video game paraphernalia I found sitting around.

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.

In before joke about "rub 'em here/there/EVERYWHERE!"

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!
slayer the player's Destructoid Blog
that is awesome, i want the donkey kong one so bad
Justice's Destructoid Blog
Nice stuff! The Donkey Kong one is great.
Retro Bros's Destructoid Blog
Hehe, interesting finds.
phantomile's Destructoid Blog
Very, very awesome finds. The Robotron ones are just a bit creepy.

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.
whormongr's Destructoid Blog
@phantomile I will prolly do some more myself, I know I have some a bunch of other random stuff since I never seem to throw anything else out if I can help it- I figured that when I dug these up the other day I needed to scan and put them up
Monodi's Destructoid Blog
Ah Robotron, I remember it for being a pretty hard ass game.
The Prodigal Son's Destructoid Blog
Too bad I won't live to see Robotron happen in 2084...
phantomile's Destructoid Blog
And I'm glad you did.

Also i just noticed that Frogger has a briefcase.
That makes me smile.
Blasto's Destructoid Blog
I used to love Color-forms as a kid. See the crap we older people had to play with, youth of today? You unappreciative little heathens lol.
Jack Maverick's Destructoid Blog
I'm really questioning why a frog is struggling to survive in the water, since they're, well, amphibians. Then I forgot about it when I saw Robotron and remembered how flashy that game was.
Diverse's Destructoid Blog
I find it amazing that on the Rub N' Play transfers everything is drawn in a different style. Love it. And did Frogger really used to sport a vest?
