Remember Nintendo?

When I was 7 years old I had my first job as an undercover security guard at a local department store's toy department. My babysitter hooked it up! I was paid in candy and I could pick one toy per shift... possibly the best Friday nights of my life. Anyway it was there that I had seen my first Super Mario Bros arcade game and I was immediately hooked! Game after game I would try to beat each level (standing on a milk crate). Eventually I got the NES and was hooked on games like Blades of Steel, Contra, Zelda, Golgo 13, Excitebike and of course Skate or Die! As time went on and new gaming systems came out my interest faded away. Almost 20 years later I stumbled upon a website that allows you to play all your favorite NES games simply through your browser. The site is called VirtualNES.com and has an amazing selection of free games. Check it out but be careful... you will spend hours! If you really get into it you should purchase one of these.
