Looking for Pictures...8-Bit Videogames

I am looking for a specific set of pictures for inspiration...
I am creating a customer service course that is going to have either 4 or 5 Levels (modules), and I am setting up the course with a lot of activities.
- A level can not be completed unless a certain score is achieved. - The bottom inch of the screen is going to display the status throughout the module, and the 'Score' is going to be in the top right corner
- I want the look/feel of the course to have an 8-bit pixelated theme (Think NES)
- I do not want to Photoshop every image because when I pixelate images they just come out looking blurry.
What I am looking for is:
- Video game/DVD menu's for inspiration
- Screenshots from NES games to see the different layouts.

Greetings:
I think someone made an "atari" style font. I'm pretty sure it can be found on "dafont" or another font site. This would allow you to create the menu.
When I google search images for "atari menu", tons of images come up. Most with black backgrounds and colored bit style fonts.
Same thing with "NES games."
I know I'm not much help, but if nothing else at least it's a start.
Thanks Travis!
I think I am going to end up making most of my own graphics using PhotoShop and stock images. It seems to be the easiest approach.
Thanks for the Googling tips, it is difficult to figure out what terms to search for...I could always try Bing!
Hi Eric! You could consider using GameMaker. There's some useful graphics/art you can grab from the various asset folders once you install the program, or even just take screenshots of game screens you create and import them into your project.
