Don’t have a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) to get your nostalgic hit? Don’t stress, you can go straight to the Nintendo8.com site and play all your favourite Nintendo 8-bit games right on your browser!

I know some will say that it is not like the real thing, but hey, not all of us are inclined to own all the old consoles. So go ahead and enjoy some 8-bit action.

The Last Starfighter

Back in 1984, do you recall playing Starfighter at your local arcade parlour and then getting excited when it appeared in your favourite movie, The Last Starfighter? No, it doesn’t ring a bell? Of course it doesn’t, the arcade game from the movie was never a reality, or was it?

Rogue Synapse can make this dream a reality – your very own Starfighter arcade machine, just like in the movie. Become Alex Rogan and fly off to Rylos to defend the frontier from the evil Xur and the Koh-Dan Armada. You may need to speak to your bank manager beforehand.

07/10/2013 By ausretrogamer

If you were at BrickCon 2013 this past weekend, I hope you checked out the fully functional LEGO Adventure Time BMO game console! This little beast has a Raspberry Pi heart, assembled by Michael Thomas, an Australian software developer. Once again, I wish I could have been in two places at once!
