Retsy Series 1 · Card 0478 · 90-TVV
Press start. Press everything.
A video game tips show where two teen hosts reviewed games, shared cheat codes and showed off viewer high scores.
The story · 1996
Button Mashers TV was where you learned cheat codes before anyone had a home computer. Hosts Jojo and Trent sat on beanbags in front of a giant screen, shouting tips, and a viewer high score segment ran at the end. Kids took notes on scrap paper and tested every code the second the credits rolled.
A fake cheat code the hosts made up as a joke started a playground rumor that lasted three years.
