NES on Facbook… OMG

I love video games. It is true, I am fast approaching the age where I should be concerned with a family and my future, but I spend way too much time on my PS3 trying to show the world how great I am at Call of Duty 4.

Due to my unnatural love of video games I have found that video game emulators are a wonderful thing. While I was in the Navy I had a laptop with 4 different system emulators that kept me amused for months while at sea.

I currently have an NES emulator running on my Motorola Q that kills countless hours while I am on the subway. I say all of this so you can truly understand the joy I felt when I came across The NES Emulator on Facebook.

The emulator is basically an online version of the Nintendo Entertainment System you can play through your Facebook page. The application also has a scoring system that tells the world how great of an NES player you really are. Recognize!

The emulator system isn’t a great way to play Final Fantasy or any game that you have to save, but it is an awesome time suck (is there such a thing?) when playing Mario or Excite Bike. My current Nintendo rank is Goomba and I am certain I will be some sort of Mushroom King by the end of the day.

Let us hope that someone makes a Genesis Facebook application so I can get my Sonic on.
