The NES is Indestructible!

I was going through some old stuff in my closet when I came across my old NES. It had been sitting there for almost 10 years untouched.
I pulled it out, dusted it off, plugged it in, and put in good ol' Mario/Duck Hunt; It worked perfectly the first time I pushed the power button... didnt even need to blow on the cartridge 😎
I'm kicking some ass in Megaman 2 right now!

I :heart: my NES
 
Man I wish my NES was working on the first try like that when it was near-new. Baseball Stars was my favorite.

i thought it meant he was trying to destroy it like by dropping it off a roof or something.

Well it took quite a beating throughout the years, then it sat there for about 9 and worked instantly when I plugged it in. I think that's pretty impressive.

RBI baseball rocks...i always play that plus contra and super tecmo bowl. i still have a $28 GC to ebgames. maybe i should check out what NES games they have.
 
Dragon Warrior was awesome... I didn't like the sequals as much as the original, but that's how it always goes, right? =)

Dragon Warrior 2 was so damn hard.
Dragon Warrior 3 and 4 were the bomb.
Dragon Warrior 7 was... zzzzzzzzz
 
I bought one at the Goodwill center about 3 years ago. Works fine but the spring-thing that holds the game down is broke. I have to use one of my wife's empty marlboro packs to cram it down.

Afterwards I went to eBay and bought Tecmo Super Bowl. God I love that game. :heart:
 
I sure missed the NES. Contra, Baseball Stars were a few great games. Love that option in Baseball Stars that you can build your team from scratch.

BTW, there is a handheld thing called PowerJoy that has several hundreds old games (Atari and NES). I am sure it has Contra, Duckhunt and such. Good stuffs.

Emulation isn't bad. I get to have a bunch of consoles and my C=64 (Turrican ROCKS!!!) running on my TV off my HTPC. 😀
 
The NES is far from indestructible. It takes a lot of abuse, but in my opinion the connector is like a filter. Effectiveness of connection gradually decreases eventually requiring replacement.

That's easy to fix if you don't mind taking it apart. Takes all of 5 minutes, and 3 of those are used getting up to get another :beer:
 
i still play my NES every so often. its all about the 'shoving 2 cartridges to hold the game down'-technique!
