The Sega Saturn on the 1995 CBS Toy Test + Double Dragon 📺

 

It’s an attack! An attack of 90’s nostalgia that is. This weekend on “From the Collection” -TV- we’ve got a quick 30 second spot for the atrocious looking Double Dragon cartoon that aired between 1993 and 1994 on your local BKN network. Then there’s a report from the 1995 Seattle Toy Test on CBS This Morning with Consumer Correspondent Herb Weisbaum.

Unfortunately I hit REC a little too late and then the ending got taped over. There’s plenty of mid-90’s joy to see though including the Virtual Boy, Bug! on the Sega Saturn, and a classic “parents, grab the aspirin” gag. Catch even more nostalgic clips and commercials with the playlist below.

📺 About the Show 📺
It Came From The Collection -TV- is a supplemental series to my hands-on videos. These clips, commercials, and programs go live every Saturday morning to recapture the spirit of the legendary cartoon lineups and laser-focused marketing aimed at young minds. I’ve tried to clean up the picture and sound, and render them at 1080p for a more viewable presentation. ICFTC -TV- ! Part of a nutritious breakfast!

It Came From The Collection #7: Prince of Persia Warrior Within Pre-Order Artbook

 

EPISODE 07: Prince of Persia Warrior Within Pre-Order Artbook
If you were on board for the Prince’s darker, more emo turn, then this 2004 pre-order artbook is right up your alley. Let’s take a 4K look at some concept art and reminisce about the early-2000’s PC boxart unification (with special appearances by Half-Life 2 and Tribes Vengeance).

✨ About the Show ✨
In hopes of bringing something a little more unique to YouTube I started ‘It Came From The Collection‘ to chronicle the gaming ephemera I’ve amassed over the years: flyers and pamphlets, pre-order tchotchkes, toys, posters, and all kinds of marketing paperwork.

It Came From The Collection #6: Nintendo Wii Light up Target Giftcard + Teardown


EPISODE 06: Nintendo Wii Light up Target Giftcard + Teardown
I’ve had this Target giftcard since 2006 but it stopped lighting up several years ago. Looks like it’s time to tear it down and see what makes it tick… err, glow!

It Came From The Collection #5: The Whole Spin on Sega CD Pamphlet (1992)


EPISODE 5: The Whole Spin on Sega CD Pamphlet (1992)
Want to READ about what makes the Sega CD so rad? Who needs screenshots or even marketing artwork when you’ve got prose!? It’s interstellar hyperbole in a pocket-sized pamphlet on this episode of It Came From The Collection.

It Came From The Collection returns with more old Game Stuff!

It Came From The Collection returns with more old Game Stuff!

It Came From The Collection is back and better than ever, relaunched on its very own YouTube channel! I was in the midst of launching this new series when my personal YouTube channel was deleted so let me give you the pitch one more time.

In hopes of bringing something a little more unique to YouTube I started the series to chronicle the gaming ephemera I’ve amassed over the years: flyers and pamphlets, pre-order tchotchkes, toys, posters, and all kinds of marketing paperwork. New episodes will go up every Tuesday and are now filmed in dazzling 4K since I discovered that my phone camera can do that.

But wait, now there’s even more! Grab your cereal and action figures because Saturday mornings mean It Came From The Collection -TV- ! All of my old archival commercials, promos, and infomercials now live on the new channel. And since I had to reupload everything I’ve taken the time to remaster them and render them in 1080p. They look and sound better than ever and it all starts with the classic Battletanx “Snuggle Bear” commercial for the Nintendo 64.


Since everything was blown away I’m starting at ground zero here with no subscribers. If you’d be kind enough to subscribe I promise you’ll see some of the rarest gaming stuff on YouTube. Thanks for taking a look!
