NES Black Box games

When the Nintendo Entertainment System first shipped in North America, Nintendo wanted everything about the system and its marketing to reassure video game-shy toy stores that this was something different than the torrent of Atari 2600shovelware that crashed the video game market a few years earlier. One major component of this was a standardized packaging design for all games released by Nintendo themselves for the first year and a half of retail availability. Since this packaging used a black background for the game box, this set of games has become known as the Black Box games and is now a common collecting target.

As the state of Texas was in a deep freeze, Sen. Ted Cruz was feeling the heat.
Cruz, who took his family this week to sunny Cancun, Mexico, for a vacation while citizens in the Lone Star State struggled during a deadly winter storm, was raked over the coals Thursday by some of his constituents.
The Republican searched for cameras to plead his case once he returned from his short-lived stay in paradise.
He admitted the trip was “a mistake, and in hindsight, I wouldn’t have done it. I was wanting to be a good dad.”
Sen. Ted Cruz, back in Texas, says it was obviously a mistake to go to Cancun.
