When Lego meets old video game love

I’m pretty sure this was on BoingBoing a couple of days ago, but it wasn’t until my friend Kris said that it was cool and that I should watch it that I actually did. Boy, am I glad.

Although, I know this was a love paean to old NES-style video game action — complete with chiptune-style soundtrack — but all I could think of was, “Damn, I wish I had that much Lego!”

I think it might be older than NES — there’s a suspicious C in there, and the “Press PLAY on tape” sounds like it’s referring to the cassette drives that VIC-20s and (I think) Commodore 64s had.
