Grooveraider is the black dude, and he's with Shigeru Miyamoto (i think).

The black dude is me...
The asian guy is Gunpei Yokoi ... Take a look:
damn, you got your own personal camera man and everything... you have a bunch of cool videos on your youtube page!
Thanks !
lol - that personal camera man is one of my gaming buddies
for me. I had to document the man who ressurrected the gaming industry in the West.

how many games has the "Thor endorsed" thing? i know Bee 52 has it aswel (which is quite fun imho)
Ironically, Micro Machines also had a special meaning for me. On March 4th, 1989, my house burned completely down at around 4 in the morning due to a wiring defect in the garage. 4 days later, my mother had a rare heart attack caused by an arrhythmia known as ventricular tachycardia. It nearly killed her (took some time for the EMT's to get a pulse again), and it was many many months before she was able to be even taken home from the hospital, having suffered severe stroke-like damage due to oxygen deprivation to her brain. We didn't have insurance for the house, so all we had were what we were given by churches and friends. So I had a few clothes, and a little cigar case with about 30 micro machines
Flash forward a couple of years, and I got the chance to endorse the video game
The kid next to me had no idea what he was doing, I was trying my best to keep his car on the screen for the most part.
Oh and Tampa / St. Petersburg Florida, where the HSN campus was, was a very nice place to be. Great beaches, smooth white sand, and lots of arcades and vacation-oriented stuff to do.
Thanks for the post! (oh, and just as the quotes for everything beyond Micro Machines were manufactured by the Camerica executives and not me personally, so was the claim that I had played every NES game. During '91-'92 I probably finished a few hundred titles, but I was far from completing, or even playing ALL of the NES games out there.
Hehe that brings back memories. The people at Home Shopping Network were pretty awesome, for the most part. It was easy endorsing Micro Machines, it was actually a really good game.
