CONTROLLER PROTOTYPE Instead
of a crosspad, the Turbo Touch 360 had a flat
octagonal touchpad. This was supposed to make for
easier game control in theory, but the pad itself
was often unresponsive
Plus, being able to feel the
button you push without looking down at the
controller is kind of important to playing a game

LOT OF NINTENDO POWER
MAGAZINES (issues 1-53) I'm
glad I filled out my collection years ago. The
value of Nintendo Power has gone up ever since

to cost you $20 at the most...probably less for
this one, since the issues pictured here look
ragged

FASELEI! A strategy game for the Neo-Geo Pocket

The NGPC went off the market
when its parent company, SNK, shut its North
American branch in 2000. FASELEI! never made it
to the market before then, and only 10,000

the release of another NGPC game,
"Evolution," of which only 2,000 were
made

LECHEROUS PAC-MAN PLUSH DOLL Yes, an officially licensed,
store-stocked product where Pac-Man is wearing a
T-shirt that says "Score With Me." The
connotation never occurred to them

With Monsters." He was a very busy boy
before Ms. Pac-Man managed to tie him down

one actually used in the competition. It has 1990

DUCK HUNT Duck Hunt, you look different
The 1985 video game we're all
familiar with was actually a remake of this toy
from 1977. A projector device beamed orange ducks
onto a wall and you took aim with your light gun
It worked basically the same,
only without the annoying dog. If you ever wanted
to play the game without him, there was a way
this whole time
