Gamers spend so much time playing video games that they're often forced to procrastinate work and neglect loved ones, but do they ever get any appreciation for their sacrifices? No -- gaming is a thankless task, indeed. So, what do we want, a medal?Why yes, yes we do.
For all the times you bravely played Battle Toads, knowing that you would most likely die and have to start again; for all the times you risked your, er, Mario's life to rescue the princess; for all the times you tried to beat Contra without the Konami code -- consider yourself a hero.
This NES medal of honor can be bought at Supermandolini, but the going price for glorification these days is apparently €18 ($27 USD). Hey, we never said that honor came cheap.

Oh, Candace...
It's 18 *euros*, not pounds, making it ~$26.50. Still not cheap by any stretch of the imagination, but at least it's more affordable.

Is it just me, or does it look a little 3rd reich-ish

Did anyone notice the homage to the cross-shaped D-pad? that sold it to me. Colors are spot on too.
