Total recallTotal Recall is a look back at video game history through their characters, franchises, developers, and trends.Created as part of a news report and only uploaded to YouTube this week, this 20-minute collection of b-roll recordings gives us a fascinating look behind the scenes at Nintendo of America in 1990, covering everything from production to R&D and the Nintendo Power Line.
While some of it is narrated or part of interviews, many of them are just footage of everyday activities, which is incredibly relaxing to watch in a ‘slow TV’ fashion. The workers who assemble NES consoles manual is particularly large.
If this look back in time makes you nostalgic for news stories about long-gone consumer electronics, the same YouTube account has a lot more you should check out, including the launch of the iMac in 1998 and a 1991 trip to Toys ‘R’ Us.
