Who needs this except of those who has nostalgia? It's the same as releasing pong or space invaders for iOS. Fun to play for 5 minutes and delete from phone. Nintendo stuck in 80s in technologies and it's only trademark-holder now

Good old email spam rebranded from crime to Killer Sales Strategy. I receive lots of emails from such startupers, they send me lots of junk every day only because I registered somewhere long time ago. Not much better than penis enlargement.

It also has paywall, but seems that not for everyone. I think if I pay, I'll still have to suffer from tons of their crappy javascripts, popups and other shit. I wish links to such sites to be specially marked in HN.
