I enjoyed but I noticed they had a Conan the Barbarian movie poster on the wall, which wasn't released until 1982. I suppose the poster could have existed, but it's probably a harmless anachronism. Conan makes everything better.

That made a surprising amount of sense.

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.

Nor was the US version of the NES controller seen until 1985, which only had it's colours changed for America so that the NES looked more like a entertainment center component then a red funky God knows what that the Famicom looked like.

Wait? Did I actually just say that about this bizarre video that made no sense at all historically, or ... or... WHAT? Meh... whatever. :)

But they had the "prototype" sign by it, so they're covered :)
But 5 years or whatever was a bit early :)

I always joked about how video games of that time were though up by people on drugs. They stole my idea!
