    The first live-action Mario! And he's evil!



    Mario Bros.
    Before they were super.
    The first live-action Luigi.
    This dude looks chubby like Mario & Luigi are supposed to.



    Burgertime.
    A fucking acid trip horror movie.
    I would watch the shit out of this expanded to 90 minutes, and with blood.
    Have Nick Cage as the Nam vet janitor who saves Chef Pepper, and you've got gold!



    Spider-Man!!
    The first and last time Green Goblin was 100% comic accurate!

    this was my pac man.



    While all my friends had an atari we had the odyssey. The system was a lot more interesting than Atari. It had a cartridge with a programming language so you could write your own programs. It had a stock market game where you could trade and track stocks. That is not to mention a number of other games which were much more involved than Atari games.

    Of course, ET was super interesting.

    The kid at the drive-thru with his girlfriend appears to be Ike "Engineer's Mate Peter Prescott" Eisenmann, and the cook sounds an awful lot like the "Time to Make the Donuts" Guy.
