72-Pins is offering old NES cartridges which are labeled as if they offer 8-bit versions of popular modern games such as “Halo”, “Katamari Damacy” and “Bioshock”. However, it should be noted that these are simply art projects which feature new labels on a random NES cartridges. But hey, if you’re still sick of playing “Pitfall”, each cartridge comes with a stick-on plastic hook so you can mount it on you wall and dream of what might have been.

If you experienced the wondrous decade known as the 1990s, then chances are you whiled away the hours playing retro game consoles including SEGA’s Genesis/Mega Drive, Saturn and Dreamcast (probably looking something like this in the process).

Hopefully this selection will grow to include some of the other gaming relics like the Atari Jaguar and the SNES.
