Following his NES debut, Godzilla found himself shrunk down onto Nintendo’s popular handheld. The King of the Monsters has never looked more adorable. Godzilla for the Game Boy is a puzzle game where you play as a chibi version of Godzilla who must destroy all the boulders on a given stage by pushing them up against a wall and punching them, all in search of your son, Minilla.

In 1981, Steven Spielberg was getting ready to start shooting E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. One of the critical scenes involved Elliott, the movie’s kid star, winning the trust of the wrinkled little space alien by offering him some candy.
But Universal Studios had a problem: M&M’s had turned them down. The consensus now is that Mars Inc. wasn’t interested because the plot was a little too, well, weird. So Universal decided to approach its second choice, Reese’s Pieces.
Love this movie - love this candy.

Nintendo’s Game Boy Color advertising was unusually bold for its time. Always raw, suggestive, and unapologetically direct!
