The DrunkenNES breathalyzer

The 8 bit NES homebrew/modding scene is at it again. Not content at modding an NES to fit in to a Genesis, or modding an NES to fit in to PC, some guy got to hacking a breathalyzer in to an NES cartridge. You’ve been blowing on the cartridges forever (the only way to make them work, duh.) I already know that the only time you feel like playing Zelda is when you’re drunk (or depressed. You want to feel a sense of accomplishment, so you beat Zelda in 3 hours, for the 93rd time. But you’re depressed, so you’re probably drunk too.) So modding a breathalyzer in to an NES cart is actually a good idea. Function and form come together in perfect symmetry, yet again! This is actually sort of impressive because he coded a cartridge to display your score etc. Getting the “party frog” is the equivalent in getting the Soyuz rocketship in Tetris. Hah! Not really! Getting the “party frog” only tells your friends what they know and you’re hopelessly in denial about: You’re a drunk!
