Nes 8-bit Duck Hunt in Lego
A Flickr user named "skinny coder" has a photo gallery full of classic video game scenes rendered in Lego brick. Nes games such as Metal Gear, Duck Hunt, Contra and Bionic Commando all skillfully put together brick by brick. I think Nintendo should team up with Lego at some point and release a Mario Bros. Lego set. More Photos after the jump.
