my brother used to have a subscription to "Nintendo Power" magazine.
I loved the old NES.
I got a kick out of playing some of those old games on my friends Wii

I made a post about an adult Atari game a couple weeks back called X-Man

http://www.gamernoize.com/2010/09/18/obscure-atari/

Here is the write up about the game... HILARIOUS!

“You’re “X-Man” … the macho super-stud of the year! A “Sexy Blonde: with a body that doesn’t quit is waiting behind the door to satisfy your every fantasy. You’ve got the equipment, you’re excited and ready to give her what she desires. All you’ve got to do is get through that door and do your stuff. Sounds easy? Wrong! Coming at you are the “Crabs,” with their claws ready to tear your privates apart. Next come the “Scissors,” whose sharp blades can cut off your manhood. And last are the “Teeth,” who snap with a vice-like grip that will leave more than just marks. Get the picture? But this Sexy Blonde is worth it. And you’re a man who’s ready for challenge and action. If you’ve got the stuff to avoid your attackers and get through the door, you’ll score in more ways than one! Remember that behind the door awaits your sexy surprise, and bonus points as well. See how far you can go and how much you can score as you take the X-Man Challenge.”

The cereal and the history of the company going back to the 1800's. Read it in a company profile many, many years ago.

Yeah I knew about the age of the company, was reading up on game makers last month at work for some reason and thought it was hilarious how old they were. Some of the other ones are super old also.

I remember the cereal. I watched a few episodes of the Super Mario Show not long ago as well. Still have my NES from when I was 5, just need to buy a few cables for it

I do (probably pretty obvious I remember it). I know it for single player and 2 player. I also remember the Metroid Code (JUSTIN BAILEY) and USED to know the Mike Tyson code (007 373 5963) by heart, but forgot that one.
