Introduction: GAME OVER- PRESS START TO CONTINUE? >YES NO

Hi. You can call me Frezno. I like several things. I like reading. I like writing. I like Doctor Who, and old video games. Those four things combined are what have brought me here, to do this. I suppose we should start by talking about the guy who inspired this venture; one Mr. Phil Sandifer. I discovered his work due to a love of Doctor Who, and fell in love with his blog, TARDIS Eruditorum. He writes the "psychochronography" of Doctor Who. The story of the show itself over 50 years of real-world time. It is a very good blog, and if you like Doctor Who I suggest you give it a go. More relevant to our discussion is his other blog, a project he started before the Doctor Who one. The Nintendo Project. A blog dedicated to playing and writing about every NES game released in North America, in alphabetical order. A blog now defunct. Outside forces and who knows what else led Mr. Sandifer to abandon The Nintendo Project, just as he reached the letter H. He eventually made the blog public domain, and focused on the Doctor Who blog. 

I wish to continue his mad work. I wish to restart the rusted engines of the Nintendo Project, and chronicle the rest of the NES games. From H to Z. I am aware of many things. I am aware that this is somewhat ludicrous. I am aware that Mr. Sandifer is, quite frankly, a far better and more skilled writer than I. He is an academic. I am a hobbyist. I don't know much about psychochronography, or psychogeography. I have no idea about the Qlippoth or William Blake, or occult symbols or anything of that nature. I just really want to see the story he started reach an ending. Doctor Who may go on for time immemorial, but the Nintendo Entertainment System is a part of history now. I will tell you what I do know.

I know that eastmost penninsula is the secret.

I know that I now prossess Dracula's rib.

I know that Heat Man is weak to the Bubble Lead.

I know that almost 30 years later, these old games strike a resonance within me. Even the ones I've never played before. I know that I want to talk about what makes them good, what makes them bad... and what sort of world they were born into. I want to delve into the secret history of the world, that which went on while I was but an unaware child. 

I know that old video games hold their own power. They are symbols of alchemy, teleports to another world. Sometimes they are beautiful symphonies. Sometimes you inadvertently summon a monster that must be slain.

I know hard video games. I know good video games. I know bad video games.

I know that the Doctor is a mad man with a box. I know Phil Sandifer is a mad man with a blog. I know what I am.

I am a madman with a silly voice who likes video games, and writing about them. Welcome to the Nintendo Project, Resumed. Let's pick up where he left off.
