My cousin bought a Sega Genesis on eBay which arrived today. I didn't even own a Sega Genesis and I'm still having severe nostalgia moments. Ah, the 8 bit days. I think I must've been somewhere around 8 when Nintendo came out and I trace my massively awesome platformer skills back to that. I won Rygar multiple times! (The fact that death was only a minor setback in that game and you had unlimited lives had nothing to do with it).

Which brings me to the link of the day. Some of those old school games were not just hard, they were Nintendo Hard.
