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.



Is this blog awesome? Vote it up!

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!
that is awesome, i want the donkey kong one so bad
Nice stuff! The Donkey Kong one is great.
Hehe, interesting finds.
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.
@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
Ah Robotron, I remember it for being a pretty hard ass game.
Too bad I won't live to see Robotron happen in 2084...
And I'm glad you did.

Also i just noticed that Frogger has a briefcase.
That makes me smile.
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.
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.
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?
