One of Capcom's often-overlooked NES games I missed out on during my youth, because I was too busy playing their war games, like "Bionic Commando" and "Code Name Viper."
This rather fun video game was loosely based on Windsor McCay's 1905 comic strip "Little Nemo's Adventures in Slumberland." Finally, a game with a historical basis, instead of the product of someone's pipe dream.

Little Nemo: The Dream Master is one of the BEST video games you've never played. It became a real sleeper hit (pardon the pun.)

Get the Little Nemo: The Dream Mastermug. The mark of The Chosen One, from the movie "Kung Pow: Enter the Fist."
Basically, it's Steve Oedekerk's "talking tongue." Even though the movie wasn't all that great, Tonguey made the whole thing worth watching.

Get the Tongueymug. oh damn, gotta pull into this gas station, and use its dirty bathroom... it's a Macarena dump again...

Get the macarena dumpmug. The "Capacitance Electronic Disc" system, invented by RCA; also known as 'SelectaVision' and 'video records.'
RCA was trying to edge out the pre-existing VHS and LaserDisc formats, but ultimately failed in the long run. The format lasted from 1981 until 1986, and about 1700 titles were released on CED.
Movies came in large plastic caddies, which you inserted, as a whole, into a CED player, which disengaged the disc from the caddy when you pulled it back out (so you wouldn't touch the disc with your bare hands, which could cause disc damage.) A stylus picked up the audio/video data from the disc, which spun at 450 RPM.
To remove the videodisc, you simply push the caddy back into the player, and the disc re-engages itself in the caddy.
Like a CLV laserdisc, CEDs have one hour of content on each side... but you must remove and re-insert the disc upside-down, to continue playing (like with the early laserdisc players.)
If a film ran over two hours by a significant amount of time, it was released on a set of two CEDs. Otherwise, time compression was used to fit the movie onto one disc.
The estimated life of a CED videodisc is 500 playings. Not too bad.

Get the CEDmug. "Popo" and "Nana", from the early NES game "Ice Climber." Until they appeared in the Gamecube game "Super Smash Bros. Melee", no one knew who they were.
The NESkimos got their asses kicked off the mountain again... Dammit! *takes out the cartridge and chucks it across the room*

Get the NESkimosmug. A telephone call received (usually) in the small hours of the morning, usually bearing bad news about a close friend or family member -- most of the time, either they have died, are near death, and/or were involved in a terrible accident.

Get the the callmug. An animation company, which began in France, before opening up shop in the USA. At the end of some of their shows, a kid has pronounced it as "dick" before, but now, it is pronounced "deek," for obvious reasons (and the not-so-obvious reason of its French origin.)
Known for cartoons such as "Sonic the Hedgehog," "Inspector Gadget," and "Sabrina: The Animated Series."
Many people did not know this (or just assumed it meant the obvious double entendre`,) but DIC has been confirmed to stand for <b>"Dissemination, Information et Communication."</b>
The company thrives today, and an updated logo which says "The Incredible World of DIC" is their trade dress. Hmm, do I see an innuendo here? ;-)
