I just bought a used NES earlier this afternoon. It wasn't exactly cheap; $50 for the console, one controller, power adapter, and RF switch. But, it's in great condition (already took it apart, blew out a little dust, and put it back together) and works perfectly. I've already played it a little tonight. I've got to start building up my collection of games again...

You might be thinking "So what? It's a Nintendo. Big deal." Well, yeah. It's a big deal to me because I haven't had my NES since my mom gave mine to some "less than financially fortunate" neighbors about 12 or 13 years ago. I still give her shit about it today...

Anyways, I've reclaimed one of my games that I originally had. About a week ago, I found a copy of the Gold version of The Legend Of Zelda. It's in perfect condition (no scratches, and the sticker on the cartridge is perfect, too) and came in the original box. No booklet, though. But oh well. Now I've got to find all my other favorite old games... Mario/Duck Hunt, Mario 2, Mario 3, Excite Bike, Punisher, Ninja Turtles, etc.

What about that one orange gun or whatever it was the was used to shoot the ducks? I don't really remember I was a little kid when I played NES.

The NES had some really great games. I think i sold mine when i was 11...pity, i think i'd still use it every now and then. Ninja turtles kicked ass, and so did mario...until the N64 versions..

Good Make sure to get the original Final Fantasy. It rules.

I'm trying to remember if there was a FuncoLand down there... but I don't think so. If you happen to find one, they have TONS of cheap NES games (we got Mario/Duck Hunt for 49 cents). The ones that are more rare (like Zelda) may cost up to $20 though. Actually, we got our console there, too... for 20 bucks

Here's my list so far...

Mario/Duck Hunt
Mario 3
Contra
Super Contra
RC Pro-Am
Tecmo Bowl
Bases Loaded
Super Off-Road
RBI Baseball

There were some more I wanted but didn't think it was worth paying the extra moolah for (I'll just play the rom on here ).

Good 'ol NES.... what memories.

Yeah, I still need to get the blaster gun... And I need to get controllers that are in slightly better condition. The one that came with mine works fine, but it's kinda beat up.

[edit]
The Gold version of Zelda cost me $25.

Battletoads!!!!!

belt sander + buffer = good as new.... just no paint on it.

[sgtfuzzbubble011]

Actually, I just used an old toothbrush to clean all the small spots and creases on the case. Looks great. And no, I don't think there's any Funcolands down here... I wish there were.

you need a jog-pad and that one cartridge that has mario/duck hunt/olympic game on it.
the gun is called the Zapper BTW. You should also get Kirby, Metroid,
Bomberman (for some four player action) and a Game Genie. Hard as hell
to find a working one.

Flea Markets... Great for finding old games. I just went to one a few days ago and bought a working Atari 2600 and 29 games for $12.

[sgtfuzzbubble011]

Spiffy. I want to get Gradius, too... In fact, I want to get Gradius 3 for my SNES, since I haven't played that in years either. Oh, and I just HAVE TO HAVE the original Tetris.

super metroid for the SNES was awesome

[sgtfuzzbubble011]

I've got The Return Of Samus for the GameBoy.
