Got a NES!

Dark616 · 05-11-2008, 05:09 PM

I got a NES yesterday. it didn't have RWY cables or a AC adapter tho. I bought a $6 ac adapter at Vintage Stock(lol... sounds like a winery doesn't it) I got Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt(best game EVAR!) and Castlevania 2. I am happy!

Nice. Enjoy the retro-gaming goodness.

Wow, we're high-tech now

soccerfreak24 · 05-12-2008, 04:45 AM

My dad gave my nes away!! I was SOOO Angry. I had like contra, gorilla wars, double dragon, ninja gaiden, tecmo bowl.. and some other games.

thats all i play is old games me and my brother together have a NES, SNES, sega genesis, 2 playstations (1's) and an original xbox is the newest console we have.

mr.handsomeman · 05-12-2008, 08:57 AM

woo hoo! how much did you spend on it though? a lot? a little? what?

Hostile · 05-12-2008, 09:42 AM

I have an original NES that was bought the year it came out, 1986. I have a handful of games. If you are going to play Duck Hunt you HAVE to get the light gun though. I'm still amazed how that light gun works for coming out in 1986. Get Super Mario 3, that's a great game, the previous two are good too. The Contra series is great. I am also curious how much you payed for it.

MasterSprtn117 · 05-12-2008, 01:31 PM

Haha have fun!
I remember my NES...still works too! I have about 30 games...ah fun times...fun times..

Saline · 05-12-2008, 01:58 PM

Nice! My grandma gave me her old one a few months ago. They're awesome. You should try to get Mega man for it

Trogdor · 05-12-2008, 07:24 PM

Guerrila Wars and Hogans Alley are by far the best nes games ever

spenc938 · 05-12-2008, 08:23 PM

I envy you. I haven't played NES in at least ten years.

ferguson · 05-13-2008, 06:26 AM

to mr.handsomeman i actually don't spend that much time on it.sounds stupid but i don't even have them hooked up they are just sitting in a box in my basement. i'm never really home to play them.

NES:free
Missing RWY:free from a friend
games: ~$8

so, about $8

Hostile · 05-13-2008, 01:58 PM

Nice! Does it get a lot of read errors? It's a common thing with NESs that have been played a lot, when you try to start up a game it gives you a pink/blue screen. You have to blow on the cartridges to try to get it to play. Mine was never played enough to encounter this problem though.

AquaToad · 05-13-2008, 04:28 PM

LUCKY! get zelda

Same! Except mine didn't have a new owner, it was in the dumpster along with hundreds of games. He got me a Wii as compensation -_-

Awesome purchase. I'd give a finger to have an NES console again. I'm still hopelessly in love with the classics.
