Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Select, Start. Eat me Contra! Or how bout holding select to energize yourself in between rounds of Mike Tyson's Punchout? Unlimited lives - no problem - just slam a turtle shell on the second step of a staircase. Remember fantasizing about the Princess? Err, um, maybe that was just me. 8 bit madness.

Super Nintendo > Genesis. I always remember having this fight with my friends. The argument was always "Genesis has better sports games". Total BS. SNES kicked total ass.

Here's your chance to own both systems in a retro new look - a limited edition red and gold version. It plays cartridges from both systems. Obviously this is a total impulse buy - a fantastic one at that. The price can't be beat, nor can the enjoyment of playing classic NES and SNES carts.

If you'd like to watch a geek "unbox" a retro duo system, check out this youtube vid here.

On a lighter note, Stootsi HQ is shutting down at noon today to watch hoops and drink beers. This has nothing to do with today's deal - we just thought we'd let you know. While you are stuck at your youtube/espn/cbs sportsline blocked corporate networks, we'll be at the local dive bar slamming back Guiness. And Jack.
