All those years watching Seinfeld, and I never noticed this, sothanks to Tim Rogersfor the pic: turns out the media shelf in the background of Jerry’s apartment, which is mostly full of his old VHS tapes (like Navy Seals!), is also home to a few NES games.
You can clearly see SimCity there (which is actually the SNES version; the NES version was cancelled before release), along with Nintendo World Cup. A different shot, posted earlier this year on r/seinfeld, shows he also has a copy of Tetris, and apparently Super Strike Volleyball as well.
I don’t ever remember seeing a NES under his TV, let alone Jerry playing a game during an episode, so who knows what they’re doing there. Maybe they’re a reminder of his more carefree days. Maybe they’re just hat tips from some set dressers.
Whatever it is, here’s the trailer for Navy Seals.
