Big Wheel, Game Boy Inducted into Toys Hall of Fame
Published November 12th, 2009 in Boy, Whimsy, toywhimsy.com, Rochester, Tetris, Fame, Hall, Moore, Christian, of, Toy, Game, Games, E., Video, ToysThe Big Wheel, the ball, and the Nintendo Game Boy were all inducted into the Toy Hall of Fame (located in the Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, New York) this week. (They even beat out Cabbage Patch Dolls for the honor.) The awesomely dated commercial for Big Wheel (below) proves that what was exciting and cool is now kind of quaint (watch out for the cat!) but just as much fun. Additionally, Game Boy has now been given well-deserved icon status. After all, it paved the way for many of the hand-held gaming systems of today --- including, well, Game Boys. -- E.
