I can’t get over how great that bespectacled kid’s outfit is.

It looks like this thing is really hard to use (unless the controller contacts have corroded or become faulty over time in the one this guy is testing) LJN Video Art - Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN) - YouTube

We had one that I believe went by the brand name Videowriter. It was great! A lot of fun. We would save drawings we wanted to keep on videotape and videotape ourselves drawing. We even figured out how to do simple animation by drawing, start vcr, pause, slightly xhange drawing, unpause, change drawing, unpause, etc.
