Gr8est Site Ever?

Remember spending countless hours three feet in front of your 27 inch tube television, mashing those red buttons and pushing stiff directions on the D-pad while Bebop and Rocksteady mopped the floor with you in TMNT2? What about running for 300 yards a game while zig-zagging with Bo Jackoson in Super Tecmo Bowl? Or who could forget the Mario Trilogy?

Now if your family was like mine, they cared more about your education and bought you games once in a blue moon. And remember back in the day when games cost $50? You'd have to save up your allowance, birthday money, Christmas, Easter, chore money just for 1 game.

Well they're back, and FREE. No need to download an emulator here, Ninetendo8 allows you to play all your old school games on about a 4 x 4 screen inside your web browser. With all the games you loved playing growing up (at least on Nitendo), as well as the amazing 8 bit sound, you can't really ask for a better site.

This site offers hundreds of games on the NES and if you scroll through you might even recall games you saw in Blockbuster that your parents wouldn't let you rent for one reason or another. Some of these games obviously were miserable then, and are miserable now, but it's nice to reminisce.

This site does not have all the games for Nintendo, but enough to keep you entertained through a class, or before a boring work meeting. Enjoy
