That’s right, a seller is offering this 1967 Mustang Eleanor replica on eBay. According to the seller, “most of the Eleanors were automatics — because it’s easier to act and do stunts when you don’t have to manually shift gears.” Auction page. Click here for first picture in gallery.

Tecmo Wrestling, released in 1990 on the NES, was the “first wrestling game to feature a play-by-play announcer, the animated Tom Talker, although his speech was only text bubbles.” ScrewAttack takes a look back at this title after the break.

Here’s a Pixar video you may have never seen before: “Adventures of Andre and Wally B, an animated short made in 1984 by the Lucasfilm Personal Graphics Project, which would later be spun out as a startup company called Pixar.” Continue reading to watch.

The animation on the feature was truly groundbreaking at the time, featuring the first use of motion blur in CG animation.
