8-Bit Christmas (2021)
1988. One kid. One Nintendo Entertainment System. Total war.
Jake Doyle tells his daughter how, as an eleven-year-old in 1988, he and his friends schemed through a Chicago Christmas season to obtain the one gift that mattered: an NES. Neil Patrick Harris narrates; How I Met Your Mother meets A Christmas Story, with the decade's toy panic rendered lovingly.
