1991 Final Lap plush set. Namco’s Final Lap was hugely successful in arcades, and later ported to the Famicom. It’s fitting that it got its own UFO Catcher plush line. Age has been good to these lil’ guys, as is not usually the case with plushes built like these. Interestingly, each plush also has a built-in suction cup for - you guessed it - car window application. #FinalLap #Arcade #Namco #RETROGAMING #80s #90s #F1 #Formula1

On this day, way back in 1987, Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! was released in the U.S. Much like Mike himself, the game would go on to become one of those quintessential 80s icons. A true classic. #MikeTyson #punchout #NES #80s #RETROGAMING #boxing #1980s #Nintendo

Very nearly a quarter-century ago, on this day, the Nintendo Gameboy DMG-01 was unleashed on a western market who were wholly unprepared for how awesome Tetris could be in pea-green, played anywhere, for the meager cost of all of the batteries. #Nintendo #Gameboy #RETROGAMING #80s

In celebration of the one, the only, Mike Tyson on his 57th birthday, a call back to that magical time in the 80s when Kid Dynamite himself threw down the gauntlet to any intrepid, would-be digital pugilists. #MikeTyson #HAPPYBIRTHDAY #NES #80s #RETROGAMING #boxing
