There's something not unusual in this picture. Can you spot it?

"Not unusual"? Everything?

[uzo]

Depends on your definition of unusual, however, Castlevania II is being played on the NES there and it is the only game related product shown in the picture, that I can tell, that isn't a Nintendo first party property.

That Mario Bros cushion is fucking boss
I bet it's worth $1,000 today.

I can't find anything amiss...Professor Layton, I have failed you. Also, that bean bag chair is pretty rad.

He's playing a Nintendo game without looking at the screen!

Pretty sneaky, sis. Although, to be fair, this was a bit of a trick question since it didn't really matter if he looked at the screen or not with CVII-it was broke as shit & probably would've played just as well with him not looking at it. But we still love it & are glad it's part of the family.

I never saw Simon's Quest as a broken game. It managed to captivate me more than most the other games in the series. The atmosphere is so damn thick, I guess in the end that's all that really matters to me.

It had some good qualities, yes. It was a very ambitious piece for it's day what with the open, non-linear style of it (I LOVED that part of it, it made 8 year old Laina have the happies), it just wasn't well executed. I found it so annoying with the grinding for hearts, the overly cryptic hints from NPC's, the lack of bosses, "WHAT A HORRIBLE NIGHT TO HAVE A CURSE" taking 10 unskippable seconds, et. c..

It was a pioneer game for the series at the time (Metroidvania with it's non-linear wandering) & God bless them for trying something so new at such an early stage of the series, but it still had quite a few flaws. It's okay though, like I said-we still love it & are glad it's part of the CV family.

I own a cabinet similar to the one the kid has his NES on. Found it brand new in the box at a thrift shop, instruction manual, stickers, everything!.  I couldn't resist it so I built it and put my NES on it too. I think I like mine better than his... 

(note: not me posting, just happened to have an image of the type of cabinet I have)

You can pause the game with SELECT, y'know.

This is about the only inconsistency that I can see. Everything else in the room looks normal by 80's standards.

The kid on the left is drinking RUM! HE'S A CHILD ALCOHOLIC!!!!

The fucking controller isn't even plugged in. If it is, that's one loooooong ass cord.

Good eye! I can see it now but missed it completely before.
