Mr. Gimmick is a Famicom game by Sunsoft; released only in Japan and Scandinavia. Recently 1up blog retronauts featured a four part utube video on the rare game. An interesting side scroller you might want to look around for on the internet even if it's just to play it on an emulator. Although you might miss out on the music that a special sound chip on the original cartridge was able to deliver.

GFGames takes a humorous look at the process of hooking up your old NES system. Reminds me of the old disney "How to" cartoon series staring goofy from the 40's & 50's.
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.
