Remember all those really cool Nintendo classic games like Donkey Kong Jr, Super Mario Bros., and Galaga? Well I do, and those are three of my favorites.
Nintendo8.com now has all of these games online, right now. They are all Flash based. Up until now you had to download an emulator to play on your Mac, PC, PDA, phone, or other device. Finally, someone took the time to figure out how to do it online, technically and legally.
One of my other all-time favorites, Donkey Kong (not Jr.), is not yet available. Someone please let me know if it ever does get added!
Play on!

My favorite all-time game, on the iPhone using the NES emulator. Controls aren’t the best but it works!
In order to make this happen you need iBrickr (Windows) or Breezy (Mac) and then the NES app. You can also install this “over the air” using the Installer app if you have that installed.
If you need games for the Nintendo emulator, just head on over to this ROM download site — there are over 900 of them. Some of them work well with the iPhone NES emulator, while some of them are unplayable. I’ve had good luck with Donkey Kong, Galaga, Galaxian, Pacman, Space Invaders, Super Mario Brothers, and Dig Dug.
I have loved playing Donkey Kong since I was a kid playing the original coin-op version. One day I have to convince my wife to get me the original coin-op for Christhis (er, Christmas).
