Introducing the new “External Articles” section, with a fascinating article at 1UP: 20 Years of NES.
I admit, to my shame, that I never had a NES, as I didn’t have enough money at the time - I only had a Videopac, several ZX Spectrums, a C64, and then I moved to a PC. In fact, my first console ever was a Playstation 1. But I love the NES - it gives me a nostalgia for the times, even though I never played those games when I was young. Yes, I’m weird. 
Nowadays, I have NES emulators on my 2 cell phones (an N-Gage and a 6630), and I’ve played a lot of classic games to the death (or a bit before that).
Anyway, the article linked above is a joy to read. Please do so.

A comment I just saw on Slashdot:
“Oh yeah? When I was your age, we didn’t have these new-fangled vee-dee-oh games! For fun, we had real gorillas throwing real barrels at us!”
Tell me it isn’t so! 20 years! Good God I’m getting old.
