Yesterday while doing my daily wanderings around the world weird web in search of some most interesting rewind-inclined material, I happened across an extremely radical and hyper-rare retro video game and VHS mash-up that’ll make a collector of either persuasion’s jaw drop: The still-sealed MOONWALKER VHS / Cartridge Gift Set released for the Sega Master System!
