A Medal Of Honor For Console War Veterans

[Zer0-Sum]

What better way to show you're a survivor of the casualty-heavy Console Wars of the eighties than with this commemorative medal featuring the clear winner of the 8-bit home console conflict, the NES. Sporting an NES controller and signature cross-pad backdrop, the "Console War I" medal from Supermandolini is the "first in a series of limited edition 'pin' medals" that the jeweler has planned.

Cost to you? Just €18.00 (about $26 USD) plus shipping from, I believe, Greece. Expect to be chatted up and admonished by real veterans when you wear it!

I dont remember there being an 8bit console war as the only viable solution in that era was the NES, Sega had a very limited user-base with a limited library of titles. From the 16bit era onwards there has been an unending, media driven, nonsensical platform war going on.
