Retro Winnipeg on YouTube

By -
If you're my age (forever 21), then this is what you were raised on! YouTube Channel "RetroWinnipeg" has curated a collection of video clips significant to "Winnipeg-ers". Remember the Christmas commercial of '89 at Grant Park Mall? or MTN Kids Club Birthday Boat? RetroWinnipeg does!

Deserving an honourable mention, but not enough to make our Top 3 list! Book your dance lessons before they're booked up!



Nostalgia is a big reason us retro video gamers do what we do, and us at Retro Gamers Convention Winnipeg support this virtual history.
Below is a collection of our Top 3 favourite RetroWinnipeg Clips!


#3 McDonald's Sonic Toys Commercial (1994)
 I'm sure I left a few of these at my parent's house!

#2 The Love Line
Looks like people were more discreet with their "dealings" back then! 

#1 Sooter's Commercial Spot (1987)
Mullet haired kid didn't want to smile then! Not with that Haircut!


Want to walk down memory lane? Don't forget to check out RetroWinnipeg for more awesome videos!
