Oh wow, the cheesiness of this long-form 1990 Microsoft Excel commercial is absolutely dripping!
The cringe factor is off the charts too. It’s like a slow-moving train-wreck, you can’t keep your eyes off it!

Nintendo Ball – The Game and Watch That Started The Iconic Series
Nintendo Ball holds a dear place in our heart as it was their very first (Silver) Game & Watch product, released on this day [April 28] in 1980! This was the game that kicked off the iconic electronic handheld series.
Being the company’s first Game & Watch title, Ball is celebrated among the gaming community and within Nintendo itself, as evident from their many re-releases and remakes.
In case you never played Ball, the user controls a character who must juggle a few balls at once, ensuring that none of them are dropped. The control to keep juggling the ball is pretty straight forward – by pressing the left and right face button. It is this simplicity that made Nintendo’s Game & Watch series so memorable with its fans.
Do you have still have your Game & Watch(es)? Which one(s) is/are your fave?
