Remember Legend of Zelda? Super Mario Brothers?

No? Then you can stop reading.

Yes? Then you probably had a Nintendo Entertainment System, aka a NES, like me.

Did you know you can play those old games on your computer?

Check out Nestopia, it is an emulator that lets you play the NES games. You can even plugin a joystick or gamepad (I recommend the wired Xbox 360 controller).

How do you get the games? Google is your friend, use one of the sites here. You will download a zip file that will contain the contents of the cartridge. Then when you run Nestopia, open one of the zip files.

You can even freeze a game anywhere you want. Keep dying in one world in SMB3? Freeze it. Want to take a break, but aren’t near a save point? Freeze it.

I think I might be able to finish SMB3 now…
