    I think he was throwing shade on the parents by showing how much fun he was having. Though why he went in reverse is a boomer mystery.

      The story is so weird, like somebody (the reporters? Nintendo?) wanted to do a puff piece that was just letting people know the SNES was coming out and it looked cool, but somebody else wanted a serious but uncreative “outrage” angle so they tacked it on and then promptly ignored it. Dude’s literally playing FZero on the weather department’s green-screen.

        Maybe it was outrage marketing. That’s more common today, but even back day there were ads trying to sell games like Sonic by saying that your mom wouldn’t like it.
