Many of my most fond memories of childhood center on the 8-bit Nintendo.
Brief history: In 1985, Nintendo launched the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Over the course of the next two years, it almost single-handedly revitalized the video game industry, selling over 60 million units.
My cousins had gotten one for christmas in 1986 and I remember going over to their house and playing it for hours with them.
We would shoot ducks, run track and field events on a power pad and play super mario bros. endlessly. The sqaure-like graphics and mono sound effects were amazing to us as children. I don’t play video games much anymore but still to this day I will buy any NES game I don’t have when I see it at a garage sale or pawn shop. My brother and I have close to 200 games and counting.
Last week, I saw that Blik, a company that makes removable wall graphics released a line of Nintendo wall graphics. The Super Mario set comes with many different individual pieces allowing you to recreate your favorite levels from the game on your wall at home or design your own new ones.
From an interior design standpoint, they probably wouldn’t increase the value of your home but are tons of fun none-the-less and you can always peel them off when that time comes. Check out Whatisblik.com for these and tons of other wall graphics.
