72 Pins (http://www.72pins.com/) has recreated modern classics by designing custom NES cartridges to feature hit games of the post-8-bit world, as seen above (http://blog.72pins.com/assets). These time-warped squares of nostalgia are awesome art installments -- not actual remade games -- although the cart's original game is intact. Think of it as buying a piece of art and getting a used game thrown in for free.
Available redesigned cartridges include God of War (http://www.joystiq.com/game/god-of-war/), Dead Space (http://www.joystiq.com/game/dead-space), Halo (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/halo), BioShock (http://www.joystiq.com/game/bioshock),Shadow of the Colossus (http://www.joystiq.com/game/shadow-of-the-colossus) and others, with Super Meat Boy (http://www.joystiq.com/game/super-meat-boy), Castle Crashers (http://www.joystiq.com/game/castle-crashers) andPaRappa the Rapper (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/parappa-the-rapper) coming soon. All cartridges run $20, but follow 72 Pins on Twitter (http://twitter.com/#!/72_pins) for some sweet deals, such as today's (http://twitter.com/#!/72_Pins/status/119961191702474754), which is a code for 50 percent off anOkami (http://www.joystiq.com/game/okami) cartridge.
Suggested uses for NES-cartridge art include wallpapering, bookshelf-filling, 3D-sculpture building, framing and wall-hanging, or sprawling carelessly across your table at the local coffee shop to complete that old-school hipster vibe your thick-rimmed glasses, plaid button-up and copy of the Communist Manifesto have been trying to attain for months.
