Videogame Dandies

Post by markeconrad »

Hey guys and gals, I was messin' around and wanted to share some nostalgic videogame images I find around the net, so I set up a tumblr account. Didn't really know what to call it, and figured that dandy is a good word for those pics that warm my nostalgic, retro gaming heart.

Anyway, let me know what you think.

Ah ha, I remember those!

I had tanooki Mario. Haven't seen it for years though. I don't know what happened to it.

I'll be honest, if McDonalds did Mario toys again and they were cool looking, I'd be tempted to buy some happy meals. :lol:

I know, I was joking. I was expecting examples of Dandies from games. None were coming to mind as I haven't played any Victorian or Sherlock themed games.
