You should probably also tell them there isn't space invaders on the NES...

That's what I thought but apparently there was in 1985..

I like the concept, but Space Invaders on the cartridge ruins it for me. When I think of Space Invaders I think of Atari, not NES. Are those images public domain or something?

I had a friend who had a shirt with an NES cart and the text "blow me"
he wore it over to my house on purpose, because he knew it'd piss me off.
DON'T BLOW IT KIDS!

Also, there's this one

We know. But they have it pictured on a first-party NES cart.

I had a friend who had a shirt with an NES cart and the text "blow me"Yes, I've also seen one with a little weather-forecast style wind cloud puffing into a cartridge.

This is not a new motif; it's not even a particularly good take on it.

BUT WHAT REALLY BLOWS? THIS THREAD'S TITLE!

I hate when people blow on them. Just think of the saliva droplets that are forming on the contacts!

An owner of a local retro gaming store around here full on destroys the cartridge with his breath before he puts it in. It's like he's playing a brass instrument, it's SICK

I like when some dumbass still blows the contacts on a expensive neo geo cart.

I just had a great idea: reselling cartridges on eBay that have been blown on by famous celebrities! We'll run the VGA out of business in no time flat!

Shirts like that are so lame and tacky it's unreal.

I have no problem with video game shirts, but to me this is more like that shirt that someone else buys for you for whatever gift-giving occasion because they remembered that you like video games.
