This thing is totally awesome. Released in 1985 it features the usual round up of figures from popular early Famicom releases on the front - Ice Climber, Super Mario, Wrecking Crew and Clu Clu Land. The art looks awesome close up
This must have been a pretty awesome thing for a kid to carry his or her lunch to school in. It brings back fond memories of my own Empire Strikes Back lunch box that I used to lug around in the early 80s. I`m not sure if this Famicom one came with a thermos or not.
Oh, that's great! Was this an expensive auction or something--or was the seller just that nice? Also, hopefully we'll find out about some of the carts that were packed inside of this sucker at some point in time? :)
ReplyDeleteHi Bryan! Actually it was pretty cheap, the lunch box was a completely unexpected bonus! It was also much more interesting than the games, hence my writing a post about it rather than them !
ReplyDeleteI never thought I'd see a picture of SMB Mario next to Wrecking Crew Mario. o.o
ReplyDeleteHey Sean,
ReplyDeleteTake your lunch to work in it! :) Walk into the office wearing a suit and (proudly) carrying the lunch box ;)
ha.

LOL, I am tempted to do that :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool! Yeah, you should take it to work!
ReplyDeleteBob bob - yeah it is unusual to have SMB and Wrecking Crew next to each other like that.
ReplyDeleteLogan - If I do, I`ll make a post of it here :)
