A blast from the past....can anyone help?

Hi guys.

I need those who were Disney go-ers, to cast their mind back to 1993!!! Yes 19 years ago ( this is making me feel old )

Last night, we were talking about our various trips to Disney when the conversation turned to our first trip in 1993. Me, my brother and my cousins spent alot of time in a Nintendo zone!

It was a giant inflated Super Mario, with a lot of tv screens and consoles inside.....but we cant remember where it was? There seems to be an idea it was at the 'Market place', as it was known. But we cant confirm!

Does anyone else remember this???

Think this might have been the early version of "Innoventions" at Epcot - they certainly used to have a lot more pure electronic games in there without the educational element that most have today.

Dont remember anything like that at the Marketplace but I might be wrong........

Yes i remember loads of video games in innoventions ten years ago

This was a giant Super Mario inflatable and not in a theme park, but was deffo on Disney....thats what weve convinced ourselfs anyway!

The Innoventions setup did have a lot of Nintendo/Mario themeing - but not an inflatable as far as I remember.

Yep - Definately Epot Innovations. We were there in 1995 (17 years ago ) and did all that too, can't remember the Mario's but remember my then DB and now DH being excited about the free console playing!!!
