Remembering the games of yesteryear.

Disturbing Howard Johnson/SEGA promotion

Postby MrKite » Wed Jul 7, '21, 4:30 pm

This was released sometime in the mid 90s. SEGA had secured a deal with hotel chain Howard Johnson, and this VHS tape was released in conjunction. I do not know about you, but if I stayed at a Howard Johnson, and somebody kept trying to force me to play a Game Gear like the guy in this video keeps doing to the guy visiting the hotel, it would probably turn me away:

I agree, he is a little bit too much in this video, however, for some reason it really struck me as funny watching it for the first time. Interesting look at some of the video games in there though.

As much as I love being nostalgic for things of yesteryear, this was incredibly painful to watch.
