1991 Summer CES

[EvilEvoIX]

NEC's TurboGrafx-16, Sega's Genesis, and SNK's Neo-Geo take center stage in this video of the 1991 Summer Consumer Electronics show. Also footage of Commodore's CDTV, Canon's massive camcorder booth, and high end audio equipment.


   Really good stuff, gets a lot of info packed into a little video.  Extremely nostalgic and someone makes an In Living Color Joke.

The Super Nintendo at the 1991 Summer CES.  Nintendo shows off their new video game console at the 1991 Summer Consumer Electronics show. Games include Super Mario World, Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Super R-Type, F-Zero, Pilot Wings, Gradius III, etc.

"Now you're playing with power... SUPER POWER!!"

TONY ANCONA?!?!?!?

Omg, that is awesome.

I don't use "Omg" lightly.

I think 1992 was the first Summer CES where they allowed anyone with 20.00 to come in off the street and look around. So this would pre-date that, but lots of people, even kids got in during the years prior.

I watched that video a few days ago. So nostalgic!

Good video thanks for sharing

Does anyone know or remember which issue of turboplay had CES pictures in it?

[SuperGrafx]

I like how that real life Bonk character actually head butts that unsuspecting showgoer at 1:06

Kind of cool seeing actual live footage of CES stuff that I only previously remember in EGM mag pictures.   THe NEC NID device in particular.

The other issues that covered CES seem to only have screenshots of the games.

That's awesome! The last link you posted is of the issue where I was in a screenshot. I was wearing my white bonk TG16 t-shirt with my orange tg16 hat.

[NightWolve]

Did I get that right, Keith, that's you there ?

[Keith Courage]

Did I get that right, Keith, that's you there ?

Yep, that's me when I was 11 years old. My dad was awesome and took me to the show that year. Looks like I was playing some Prince of Persia from the screen shot.

That would make a much better avatar.

Alas, I'm not in any of those pictures.
I remember getting some awesome swag from the TTI booth. I also remember getting a several page flyer for the Turbo Duo with The Addams Family on the front of it.

Yeah, I still have two bomberman hats that say DUO on the rear of them.

Nice video, I always like to try to spot unreleased stuff but nothing jumped out at me in this one. Got a bit of laugh right at the end, all this super high end tech and then... A ping pong table.

I also took home one of those POWER UP VHS tapes they were giving out. I'd like to say there was also Bonk for President stickers there too.

What ever happened with the NID thing for the PC Engine? I saw it in the video and I remember reading about it in EGM years ago. Did it eventually become the PC-FX? I know it focused on data compression for video.

I always figured it evolved into the PC-FX video compression...and I asked about it years ago...

...but we have more tech gurus now who might be able to weigh in.
