    Bill O'Reilly and Co. Investigate the Nintendo Craze

    In 1988, a young Bill O'Reilly and his Inside Edition team tried to answer the question: "What the hey is this 'Mario Brothers' craze sweeping the nation?" They failed, of course. Entertainingly!

    See how many of the following classic moments you can spot in this clip:

    "All I can think of is the guy in the library."

    Ron Leingang, "Game-Play Counselor"

    Howard Phillips, "Fun Club President"

    "I had trouble with Lincoln Logs! (Sigh). Kids and fantasy."
