The Nintendo Entertainment System was as the first t-shirt of this mammoth list states “my first geek experience”. It’s one that now 20 years later, I’ve never forgotten. In fact I still have a NES back at my parents place and I’ve never really got into modern games, they just seemed to lack the appeal and downright playability that was 8-bit gaming. I’m not sure I’ll ever move on from Mike Tyson’s Punch Out and Bubble Bobble, and I’m not sure I want to.
Now without further ado, I present you 50 nostalgia filled NES t-shirts….

My girlfriend is also a huge NES fan and I recently brought her this Dingoo Digital emulator for her birthday. I took time to find the rom’s of hundreds of great SNES and NES games. I needn’t have bothered, she only plays Dr Mario, continually, she is hopeless addicted and plays at least 2 hours a day everyday.
23. Let’s play Doctor – $19.99 at MyTeeSpot
If you didn’t spend the hundreds of hours that I spent on Bubble Bobble the greatest two player game of all time, you might not have gotten this reference.
25. Alien Garden Contra t-shirt – $18.49 at MyTeeSpot
26. Made in the 80s – $20 at 80stees
27. Megaman Bosses – $19 at HopTopic
28. Nes Zapper Shirt – $23.94 at Red Bubble
and a shirt from the zapper classic Duck Hunt
29. Duck Hunt Dog – $26.35 at Zazzle
If you ever played Duck Hunt you know how extremely annoying the Duck Hunt Dog is. How he tireless and mercilessly mocked the less able players as they missed their ducks, here is a little revenge video…
Okay so this tee is not strictly about the NES, just a passing nod with the controller on the bottom right. But it’s such a cool tee, and chances are if you’re reading this, you are a child of the 80’s as well, so you’ll dig it too.
30. Once upon a time…….the 80’s at Allmightys.

32. Punchout – $15.90 at Spreadshirt.

39. Nintendo Mushrooms all over – $19 at Stylin’ Online
40. Bubble Tee – $17.72 at Mysoti
If you’ve never played Bubble Bobble, I envy you. It’s music is the single most addictive jingle ever created by man. One you’ve heard it no amount of therapy can remove it, ever yawn will turn in it, every whistle, man is powerless to resist it. Still if you’d like to do that to yourself (why for the love of god why!), you’ll find the music in this video
41. Don’t make me go Zelda on you $19.95 at Nerdyshirts
42. Girls ‘I want you inside me’ Kirby Tee – $18.95 at Shark Robot
King Hippo the best ever Punch Out opponent. If you land a punch on him his shorts fall down, his mouth drops wide open and you keep digging him where that plaster is. He was comedic, but ineffective as a boxer.
43. King Hippo – $30 from Lion & Rooster
I like that this reference is a little obscure, it looks like Link, but then it actually sort of doesn’t.
44. Link! $24.14 at Red Bubble
45. Mario NES Mushroom shirt – $22 at Stylin’ Online
46. Exploded NES Zapper tee – $17 from Zap Exploded

50. Quick Fix $19.95 at NerdyShirts
51. Legend of Zelda – $18.49 at MyTeeSpot
52. This is not a pipe by Genee Cosden – $10 at Threadless.
