Before gaming became complex enough to warrant entire guide books, there were casual games which required only skill, practice, timing and coordination. Duck Hunt was one of the least complex games in gaming history. Shoot at the ducks, that is it. But despite its simplicity, Duck Hunt was a hit, one of the most popular NES games and one that has lived on for two decades past. The Duck Hunter Zapper Lamp employs everything you need to play the game,... Continue reading

Mother is going to be so proud of me. When she comes down in the basement in the afternoon to make sure I’m still alive, she’ll have no need to worry about me making my bed in the morning/afternoon/early evening anymore. If I had a bed like this, I wouldn’t even sleep in it. I’d grab my Shark Attack Sleeping Bag and sleep on the damn floor, just so I can stare at the majesty of the NES Bed Spread....

Imagine the lung capacity needed to get games working on this thing! The NES Coffee Table, made by a guy named Matt Borgelt, is a full-on replica of the original Nintendo Entertainment System, complete with a fully-functional extremely over-sized controller. The controller and other various geek paraphernalia is stored inside of the game slot. But Mr. Borgelt didn’t stop with the design aspect, he also went ahead and made the “controller ports” fully-functioning power sockets, so he can plug his... Continue reading

I happen to be one of the few dozen people who haven’t seen Inception yet. I hear it’s quite the mind-trip. Although I usually have a rule that I never, ever play games based on movies under any circumstances, Inception for the NES seems like it would be a rather interesting experience. One element that the NES lacked, like most Nintendo products, is a twisted, thrilling side. Most Nintendo sanctioned games seem to be watered down or family-oriented and cutesy-pootsy...

I was playing Duck Hunt the other day for the first time in around 15 years and it made me realize just how great of game it really was/is. I don’t know if it was just because it played such a big role in my childhood, but the game is just painfully addicting, even without the awesome gun controller (I was playing an online emulation). This Duck Hunt t-shirt, which was up for vote on Threadless (but voting has since... Continue reading

The Japanese surely love their Super Mario Bros. We’ve seen renditions inspired by the more feudal days of Asian culture, but yet the culture clash continues. This time around the Mushroom Kingdom has been anime-tized. Basically, if Super Mario and Pokemon switched places in some parallel universe, this would likely be the result. This concept might not have been too far off though considering that Mario was developed by a Japanese company. Hell, it was created by a Japanese man.... Continue reading

A long-held myth in the gaming community, Game Trailers has taken it upon themselves to prove that jumping over the flagpole in the original Super Mario game is more than just legend. Their Pop-Fiction series proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that jumping over the flagpole is indeed possible, it’s just not very productive. If you were lucky enough to own a Game Genie than you know flag jumping is possible with a little programming shenanigans, but it’s nice... Continue reading

Do you remember the Super Game Boy? Basically it was an official modded cartridge from Nintendo that allowed you to play your Game Boy games on the big screen of your TV, right through your SNES system. Nintendo Age forum user and creator of this awesome mod bunnyboy describes his gadget as “basically the Super Game Boy, without the Super part.” The gutted parts of the original Game Boy console were hacked and slashed until they comfortably fit into an...

For those of us who were raised during the 80s and 90s, Duck Hunt brings back memories of hours of pointing a gun at our televisions. If you grew up during the peak years of the NES, Duck Hunt was the coolest thing on the market, one of the only games at the time that had a dedicated peripheral. But more importantly, it’s the nostalgic feeling we get when we reflect on our childhood hobbies, and this sweater embodies that... Continue reading
