Nostalgia: Play Number Munchers Online

number-munchers

Wow. I saw the image on Doobybrain and was just immediately blown away. I haven’t played the classic learning game Number Munchers since 2nd or 3rd grade. That’s a long time ago. Lucky for me and other nostalgic nerds, someone was kind enough to port the Apple II version to the web for all of us to enjoy. Need to brush up on your multiplication? Let Number Munchers guide the way.

Super Mario 1-up Mushroom Scarf

We would totally rock this scarf on the upcoming winter days, if only our relatives were hip enough to understand our inner geek as well as our outer geek. $95 seems like a lot for a scarf, but considering it’s 75″ long and is stylish as hell, we know a lot of people who would shell out the cash. If you remember playing the original Mario on Nintendo, there is no way not to feel a magnetic force of nostalgic attraction when seeing the 1-up mushroom. We can almost hear the sounds of the game in our head. Wait, that’s not in our heads, it’s on our TV. — Andrew Dobrow

The Power Glove Wiimote Mod!

The launch of the Wii came and went with only a couple riots as the consequence. If you missed out on the Wii rush, fist fights and all, we both envy and pity you. But despite our black eyes, and your lack of a gaming console, we now all get to join hands and enjoy the crazy mods that are bound to pop-up. This one might just be the coolest yet. Mixing the retro with the modern, the Nintendo Power Glove and Wiimote become one in this cyborg-looking mod.

The really cool thing about the Wii Glove is that all of the finger buttons are operational. Sure to bring any original glove junkie to his knees in nostalgic submission. Even though the Wiimote seems incredibly awesome as it is, the modders proclaim that this is just a prototype for what’s to come. Lay it on us, boys. — Andrew Dobrow
