- [Narrator] How To Be a 90s Gamer.

Follow these steps and you too, can be like us.

Step one, get a console.

- Whoa, Sega Genesis?

- Nintendo 64.

- We knew how much you wanted

a certain handheld gaming system.

(boy gasps)

- Electronic mini golf?

- [Mario] Okey doke.

- [Narrator] Accessorize, super scope, laser scope,

convenient carrying case, Game Boy printer.

(mechanical whirring)

And the radically unsuccessful power glove.

Learn how to fix any problem.

(puck clicks) (dramatic orchestral music)

- What happened?

- I don't know.

- Press the reset button.

- It's not working.

- Check the cords.

- Uh.

- Blow in the cartridge.

(blowing air)

("Get Ready For This" by 2 Unlimited)

(both sigh)

- [Narrator] Have a sick gaming sleepover.

- I brought my N64, all my games, two guidebooks

and a Duo-Tang full of cheat codes.

- Cool, but why couldn't we just use my TV?

- You're TV's way too small.

If we're gonna pull an all-nighter,

we can't be straining our eyes.

(plastic bang)

(grooving 90s music)

- [Narrator] Negotiate deals.

- Word on the playground is you got a GameShark

for your birthday.

- Maybe I did, maybe I didn't.

- I could offer you a water gun, two finger blades

and a pack of Dunkaroos if you can get me a Mew.

- Chocolate or vanilla frosting?

- Vanilla.

- Deal.

- [Narrator] Overcome water level anxiety.

- You're running out of air.

(increasing 8-bit beats)

Dude, you're gonna die.

Better hurry. (laughs)

What the heck are you doing, man?

You're so screwed, you're gonna die.

Told you. (bubbling bursts)

- [Narrator] Argue over the best console.

- Hey can you come over this weekend and help me

with the water temple?

I've been stuck in it for two weeks.

- (sighs) Fine.

- Are you guys talking about Zelda?

N64's for babies.

- No, it's not.

- Yeah it is, you can't even play Sonic.

- Sonic sucks.

- What?

♫ Socker Boppers Socker Boppers

♫ You can sock

(knocking taps)

- [Narrator] Rent games from the video store.

- Hello ma'am, one rental of Duke Nukem please.

- You know that's rated M, right?

- Oh, uh yeah.

- And do you have an adult with you?

- Um, actually, I do have adult with me.

His name is John A. McDonald.

(blowing air)

(quiet popping)

- I won't tell if you don't.

- [Narrator] P1 gets the good controller.

- Okay, so I'll use this one and you got a couple choices

here, we've got this one that's got a button missing.

It's a little broken, might not want to use that one.

This one which had a little bit of root beer spilled on it

or the one with the Cheeto dust?

- Uh, I'll take the Cheeto dust.

- [Narrator] Friday nights are for partying.

- [Both] Hello, Mrs. Hamilton.

- We're here for the party.

- What party?

- It's a lan party.

(crickets singing)

Can we just come in, this monitor is really heavy.

- [Narrator] Run up your parent's electricity bill.

- Guys, I'm getting zergling rushed over here.

- No problem, sending marines.

- Man, zerg's so cheap.

- Speak for yourself, Protoss.

(gladiator roars)

(buzzing electric)

(all scream)

We must have blown a fuse.

- [Son] Oh god, my Mountain Dew.

- [Mom] Are you boys okay?

- [Son] Get out of here, Mom, you're embarrassing me.

- [Narrator] Stay up past your bedtime.

(soft footsteps)

- Now for a few rounds of Command and Conquer.

(computer clicks)

(loud internet screeching)

- Mike, you should be in bed.

- Mom, but I'm just, I wasn't doing, oh mom.

- No buts, straight to bed, it's so late.

- [Narrator] Discover girls.

- Guys, do you want to see the hottest girl ever.

(8-bit ascending beeps)

- Does Articuno have a catch rate of three?

- Look, mm.

- Whoa, she's so hot.

Dude, how did you rent this?

- (laughs) My mom left her purse open.

- [Boy] Do you think her boobs are real or fake?

- [Narrator] And finally, win at all costs.

- Ugh, I hate tug of war.

- It's tug o'war not tug of war.

- What does the O stand for?

- Of, duh.

(bongos drumming)

- [Video Game] Start.

(plastic crunching)

(boys moan and scream)

- And that's how I got this scar.

- [All] Ew.

- Sounds like the 90s sucked, grandpa.

All those games sounded so boring and you didn't even

have wifi, sounds to me like you're living in the dark ages.
