It's official -- dreams do come true on the Internet. This whole time we thought online shopping store Etsy.com was mostly for stay at home moms pimping handmade oven mitts or for hippies slinging animal cruelty-free soaps. Turns out we were wrong. So, so wrong. Exhibit A: Vintage Nintendo video games like Star Wars, Metroid, The Legend of Zelda and Mega Man 2 re-purposed into your choice of 500GB, 750GB or 1TB external hard drives, created by an Etsy user named 8Bit Memory.

bad idea. Not cooling enough. Great album was hot. Fun to see, until you lose all your data to premature and unnecessary loss of desire.Games for Adults

Very bad idea. No sufficient cooling. Large capacity drives get extremely hot. Fun to look at, until you lose all your data from premature, and unnecessary drive loss.

I'd rather have the original cartridges... Even without case, as replacement cases are still easily available :-P
