Trying to find a use for that classic Nintendo Entertainment System, before the spouse donates it to charity? Netflix may have a solution.

During last week's annual Netflix Hack Day, more than 150 in-house engineers and designers presented about 70 ideas, some of which Netflix shared on Monday.

"Note that while we think these hacks are very cool and fun, they may never become part of the Netflix product, internal infrastructure, or otherwise be used beyond Hack Day," the company's blog said. "We are surfacing them here publicly to share the spirit of the event."

One option that's garnered a lot of attention is darNESa hack that loads Netflix onto a Nintendo Entertainment System. Scroll through 2-bit images and text; even play the latest season of House of Cards. Just don't expect to see much of the action through jumbled blue-and-white pixels.

"This is really hard to do on a 256K card, huh?" programmer Guy Cirino said in the video (below).

The Netflix staff also showed off Netflix Earthan animated 3D globe showcasing real-time playback activity around the worldand BEEP (Binge Encouragement and Enforcement Platform).

The latter, which "actively and abrasively encourages users to continue watching Netflix when their attention starts to stray," could come in handy to push original programming like Orange Is the New Black and the just-released Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

For those folks a little hard of hearing, or commonly confused by a foreign accent, two developers created Say Whaaat!!!a convenient way to catch missed dialogue. Just click a button to read subtitles above the video's timeline.

Perhaps the most plausible of last week's ideas: Net the Netflix Cheats. End Netflix adultery by requiring dual-PIN access to view titles you and your partner have agreed to watch together. No more skipping ahead on season two of Hawaii Five-0 or privately watching Scandal and rehearsing your surprised face for later.
