Mr. Rogers learns about Donkey Kong

This video is beautiful. Mr. Rogers learns how to play Donkey Kong from a little kid. It gets even better when the vending machine guy comes to collect all the coins. He even opens up the machine to show how the buttons work. First aired in 1983.

The golden quotes:

Coin collector: I’m gonna collect all the money you put in.

Kid: Down’s not really used in this game.
