Mr. Woot Posted January 8, 2004 i was digging around in my closet yesterday and found it, also one of those duck hunt games, Jesus tapdancing christ, those bring back the good old days when everything was simple and laid back. 0 Share this post Link to post
DooMBoy Posted January 8, 2004 Yeah, I have an old NES system, circa 1985. I still have Galaga and Mario Bros (with Duck Hunt on the same cartridge, what a deal). I recall wasting precious hours of my youth in front of that damned contraption. And yeah, back when the NES was new everything was more laid back. No flashy 128 bit graphics, no games that spanned two or three CDs, hell, there were no CD games; back then games were simple and could be beaten in just a matter of days, and the story lines were simple: Save the princess, save the world, save yourself, etc. /me longs for the days of yore 0 Share this post Link to post

Hobo Posted January 8, 2004 Hah! Mine I used to have to stick 2 games into the slot. The spring must've broke because the game wouldn't go down, so I stuck a game there to keep it down. 0 Share this post Link to post
Mr. Woot Posted January 8, 2004 i remember when i first got it i asked a funny question, i looked at it and asked ""are there any commercials?" 0 Share this post Link to post
Ichor Posted January 8, 2004 I still have an Atari 2600 somewhere. I had an NES until recently, and I spent a lot of time playing (and beating) games that I rented from the local video store Blockbusters wasn't nearly as big back then. I've played the real stinkers like Star Voyager and Strider (arcade version was infinitely better than this), and I've played the classics like Final Fantasy, the Castlevania games, the Super Mario games, and Legend of Zelda, and most everything in between. I also had Gyromite (usually played it while listening to Devo) and got good enough so that I didn't even need the robot to play it. 0 Share this post Link to post

Kristian Ronge Posted January 8, 2004 I have lots of friends who used to own a NES, some of them had Sega's Master System II ("Alex Kidd in Wonderland" is still one of the best games I've played!). Come to think of it, one guy still has it, and is currently playing through "Miracle Warriors"... Not only that, we used to play C64! "Last Ninja" ruled. How's that for old school!? Man, those were the days. 0 Share this post Link to post

Ichor Posted January 8, 2004 Those were funny, but all of them didn't compare to the Mechanic prank. I didn't think anyone was that gullible. 0 Share this post Link to post
Kristian Ronge Posted January 8, 2004 That seemed a little *too* good... At first I had real trouble grasping that anyone could be so stupid. That's why I didn't like it very much.. That clip didn't make me laugh, it made me weep for the future of mankind. ;-D 0 Share this post Link to post
Ichor Posted January 8, 2004 Heh, different preferences, I suppose. Although I can imagine someone using that as a joke in a movie or TV show. I also liked Hasaad Market and the 100 Grand joke. 0 Share this post Link to post
Torn Posted January 8, 2004 Yeah, still have it. :) I got it about 1990/1991, when I was a little kid. Heh, smb3 were quite hard at that time :P 0 Share this post Link to post

Lots of Super Mario 3 of course, Bart vs the Space Mutants, The Flintstones... Any of you NES people who haven't tried emulation yet, go download Nestopia somewhere, get some roms of your favorite games and prepare for a wave of good memories. 0 Share this post Link to post
Draconio Posted January 8, 2004 I didn't have one of my own, but my older brother did, so I got to play with it sometimes. 0 Share this post Link to post

Gokuma Posted January 8, 2004 A couple years ago I got a tight replacement 72 pin connecter in my 15+ year old system. Any game that's reasonably clean works first try without even pushing it down. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sharessa Posted January 8, 2004 I never owned a single console system. My parents wouldn't buy me one, and I was happy with my C64 anyway. I still don't like console games. 0 Share this post Link to post

wildweasel Posted January 8, 2004 AndrewB: Heck yeah, FCEU for life. I used to have an NES. Super Mario/Duck Hunt, Goonies 2 (good exploration/action game in the vein of Metroid, can be confusing sometimes), Super Mario 3 (STILL haven't beaten that darn thing), Roadblasters (Genesis version is a more faithful port), and I think at some point I rented the original Zelda. 0 Share this post Link to post
Twiztid Posted January 8, 2004 I have a nes with megaman 2 and 3 with two zelda games and abunch of other games. The nes barley works tho. 0 Share this post Link to post
