Wil Wheaton and his mastery of the NES
Wil Wheaton’s Geek in Review: 8 Bits High and Rising:
The game began, and I was blown away. It was unlike anything I’d ever seen on a console. It made our Atari 2600 feel as technologically advanced as a set of alphabet blocks, and its recreation of the arcade game I loved was even more faithful than the Colecovision version of Donkey Kong I’d declared “the most radical game ever!” when I played it at a friend’s house five or six years earlier.
And so Wil tells a great story of perseverance and triumph over distractions to win a complete NES setup in 1986.
