At some point everyone has to come to terms with who they really are deep down.

Personally, I’m a nintendo fan. Don’t take this the wrong way, I love my PC and I’ve even been known to play an XBox or (gulp…) Playstation now and then. But deep down, I remember my roots and I can’t deny it’s a part of me.

I got my first NES when I was about 8 and I remember many days of my youth spent basking in the soft glow of my parents giant wood-encased RCA console TV. The Tecmo Bowl theme song blaring on the crappy TV speakers. My ultimate goal… to win the Tecmo Bowl while not allowing a single point scored against me (only did that a couple times). On other days it might be to beat Contra WITHOUT the 30 guy code. Or maybe to visit -1 world in Super Mario Bros. Ahhh… the good old days.

Anyway, the point of this post is a fun new site I found that provides a way to relive all the NES glory days from the comfort of your Firefox browser. VNES is a nifty little site that has over 300 NES games available to play through a Java browser plugin. I’ve used a few emulators that have worked quite well, but this is a great alternative for those unable to install an emulator or download roms (read “work”, “school” or “library computers”). So click on through and get your old skool Nintendo on.
