Promotional shots always had the whole excited family (mom, dad, sis, and Mikey) snuggled in close to the TV so you could get everything in one shot. Anti-promo pictures ("games are bad for you" propaganda) would show a solitary nerdling with bloodshot eyes and a joystick.

I wonder why no one ever made a behind-the-couch console setup, maybe one that served as an AV switch to keep the consoles and computers away from the TV where they belong?

This week on VH1's "Behind the Couch" Ataris with long cords...Next week: "Why Everybody mods their Famicom"..

Of course I prefer to say it, Gundam Style, and picture giant dancing mechs!
