Classic Video Game Scenes Recreated using Lego Bricks

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.

Crystalis NES Rpg – Classic CIB Spotlight

Crystalis NES CIB

Crystalis was SNK's top-down action rpg entry for 1990. It sported advanced graphics and a nicely orchestrated soundtrack for the time period. Crystalis was generally well received by critics and gamers as a solid NES game. It has a Legend of Zelda type feel to the game play as you advance screen to screen and engage in repetitive swordplay with various badies. Crystalis was later re-released on the Gameboy Color handheld in 2000. You can pick up a loose Crystalis NES cart for around 5 bucks on ebay and the gameboy version is going for $10ish. A notable milestone in the NES action rpg category and worth a spot in your NES collection. (more...)
