I grew up in the NES era. I played ExciteBike religiously, "saving" the tracks I made by leaving the NES on over night. I played Fire and Ice, made my own levels, and even used my dad's manual Canon to save my work so I could replicate it for later use. You bet your ass I played Narc, and Marble Madness and SMB 3 (hold duck on the white box near the end of the first level) and Contra. I was a h....I am a huge nerd. I haven't forgotten about any of those times. Hell...I can even remember walking home from school, to see that my parents forgot to pick me up because they were in a heated Dr. Mario match.
And for some reason, I can't embrace this whole NES retro junk that gets spewed all over the market. A cool nintendo shirt, alright fine. NES Controller belt buckle...eh...maybe. NES Mouse? This all leads to the "I'm a nerd let me prove it to you" which is honestly just retarded. The whole "geek is chic" thing drives me up the wall.
Understandably the link you posted doesn't really fall into this category, as art really has no definition or whatever they call it. I just wanted to rant.
edit: sorry, haven't taken my morning meds
