Don’t bother asking why the bottom row doesn’t disappear…someone already made that joke on the comments from the linked site. What I learned from reading them: this bookshelf is way too Explative expensive.

why has this only been thought of now? where were these bookshelves in 1993? sometimes our slow progress as a human race disappoints me.

jono, you’ve got the wrong perspective. really, the video game was made decades before its time. the bookshelves are right on time.

And really…who would have cared in 1993? The retro kitch value is not to be underrated. Marketing is a fickle mistress; one minute too early or too late, and she pulls your demographic right out from under your base.
But, MAN ARE THEY FREAKING EXPENSIVE!

i guess the generation that enjoyed the height of tetris fame as children is now of bookshelf purchasing age. i wouldn’t have spent my babysitting money on a bookshelf back in ’93, but now that i have matured and moved away from home, bookshelves seem like a proper and necessary investment. cool bookshelves that remind me of my childhood, at that. the irony in this is that the only books i own are the ones i had back then- a far side compilation and bart simpson’s guide to life. hardly reading material that would necessitate such an elaborate shelf. i miss my gameboy.
