The original Nintendo Entertainment System first came out in 1985, so old technology is meeting new in this Uber. A reddit user posted a photo of the setup on Monday and answered questions about the [NES Classic](http://time.com/money/4591679/nintendo-nes-classic-edition/ "undefined") experience. “I freaked out when I got in the car,” the [original poster, okdiv](https://www.reddit.com/user/okdiv "undefined"), commented. The driver reportedly had a number of games, and the writer chose _The Legend of Zelda_ due to personal attachment. Nintendo began selling NES Classics to high demand in 2016\. The company [just announced](http://time.com/4739019/nintendo-nes-classic-discontinued-canceled/ "undefined") it will discontinue the product at least through 2017. Okdiv didn’t identify the location of the ride, so NES lovers who want to track down the Uber themselves may have their work cut out for them. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4743517/nintendo-nes-classic-uber-car-zelda/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4743517/nintendo-nes-classic-uber-car-zelda/"},"headline":"Uber Driver Puts an NES Classic in His Backseat","datePublished":"2017-04-17T22:15:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:42:53.954Z","description":"Talk about mobile gaming","url":"https://time.com/4743517/nintendo-nes-classic-uber-car-zelda/","keywords":["Video Games","Newsfeed","Tech","Entertainment","Gadgets","Nintendo","Uber","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Julia Zorthian","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/julia-zorthian/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/video-games/","name":"Video Games"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4743517/nintendo-nes-classic-uber-car-zelda/","name":"Uber Driver Puts an NES Classic in His Backseat"}}]}] ```
