Between the sheets (game merchandise related)

[Phosphor Dot Fossils]

OK, back in those heady days of marketing video games toward kids, there were bedsheets aplenty - I've seen Pac-Man and Super Mario bedsheet sets before.

But what other vintage titles got this kind of merchandising treatment? I've seen Q*Bert sleeping bags before, but that's about it. Any ideas or memories?

[Bratwurst]

Well, Sonic isn't as vintage as say, Space Invaders, but I've definitely seen sleeping bags with the box art from his first game.

I recall as a kid having a bunch of Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back stuff -- bedsheets withj the pillowcase, a lunchbox, a short book of the movie with a record (you put the record on and listened to it as you read the book, and it had sound effects from the movie along with the voice).

I also recall having a Pac Man record -- some kind of story mixed with a song, if I recall correctly. Hey, this was in the early 80's......I was only about 4-8 years old. LOL

It's not specifically VG related, but I actually still have my Star Wars Bed Sheets. I also know someone who has Battlestar Galactica Sheets.

I have a Mario/Zelda pillowcase in one. Not sure where it's at, but I would assume that there was more to it.

Oh, and lets show this off one more time...

Didn't your mom make that? You have an awesome mom.

I've got an unlicensed Space Invaders pillow case and Pac-Land sleeping bag. I think I might have Pac-Man sheets as well.

Yeah, it was my b-day gift this year....Those big pillows ROCK!

[Sotenga]

You lucky shmuck... I'd like a bed like that... :(

[christianscott27]

not only did they make pac man sheets but they even made two varieties, one is pictured back a few posts and theres another version with that resembles the pillow lying flat in same pic. there are also pac man curtains available, seen once in a great while on ebay. i swear i've also seen space invaders sheets. to round out my pac decor i have the pac trash can, tv tray and pac phone. my holy grail is the pac clock where you tell the hour by where his mouth is pointed.

Thought I'd revive this one since I finally located the elusive Space Invaders sheets quite a while back, so they do exist. Any others to add?

Believe this or not, E.T the Videogame Pillows! Rest your head against one of the worst games of all time!

Wait, what? They had them outside the US?! I thought the NWC was USA only. Does anyone have mor einfo on this? AM I the only one who didn't know this? I wonder what this means for NWC carts....does it mean PAL versions are out there?
