Play Classic Nintendo Games Online
For those of you who grew up playing games on the original Nintendo Entertainment System, you’re gonna love Nintendo8.com.
It offers hundreds of NES games playable for free online.
The controls are a little awkward. The NES control pad’s directional, A & B buttons have been replaced by the keyboard’s arrows, Z & X keys, so your right hand must now control movement while your left hand handles the former functions of the A & B keys. Though after you see the selection of titles, you won’t care.
The site has nearly all of the favorites including:
- CastleVania
- Contra
- Double Dragon
- Double Dribble
- The Legend of Zelda
- Mega Man
- Metroid
- Rampage
- Super Mario Brothers
- Techmo Bowl
- Tetris
The list goes on and on. Sadly, one glaring omission is Mike Tyson’s Punch Out. That one just may be added soon though.
And when you’re playing, don’t forget to try and enter the universal cheat code: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start.
In other Nintendo news, students at the University of California Santa Cruz created a four-story Donkey Kong window art piece made entirely out of Post-It Notes.
And check out this video adaptation of Super Mario Brothers made out of Legos:
