The NES is Indestructible!

[Nikamichi]

My NES gave me a grey screen on my tv monitor a long while ago.

I tried cleaning it, no luck. Now it's hiding in storage.

I love the NES. My brother took our original when he moved out, and so I bought a refurbished (i.e. connector replaced) one off of Ebay. I haven't ever been able to find my copy of Contra, but I'll be damned if I don't play Stinger, Final Fantasy, Ice Hockey, or Super Spike V-Ball at least once every weekend or so.

Good stuff.

Tecmo Super Bowl (Neal Anderson= almost unbeatable ) , the original Zelda, Dragon Warrior, and Baseball Stars were all awesome games.

Anyone know if there's a way to play 2 player games online via an emulator?

If you aren't afraid to open the cartridge, you can replace the battery inside and it should save games perfectly.

wow, you would still play NES when we have stuff like gamecubes/xbox and radeon 9800s out :Q!!!! thats admirable.

i guess i can relate though. i still play civilization 3 once in a while, because its still fun. but there's just so many gorgeous awesome modern games out.

Oh man, Tecmo Super Bowl = greatest fball game ever!!

GSoD? OH NOES!

The NES is not indestructible. My younger brother fed my NES a gummy bear once. That was the kiss of death for my first NES.

You have never seen fury like that of a 9 year old boy deprived of his NES by his younger brother.

 

[tranceport]

heh.. Anyone ever blow their cartridges?

my atari 2600 which says on it it was built in the late 1970s works great


/wants to play missle command with atari trackball

It's all about RCR and Super Dodge Ball.

 

Crystalis, and The Guardian Legend, are two of my all-time faves. For some reason many emulators have trouble with those games, thus I choose my emulators by how well those games turn out. I currently use NNNesterJ.

they are pretty durable, we ran one over like 3 weeks ago with my car... it was pretty fun haha, but it got pretty messed up..

no wait it was a SNES

 

[shabby]

Mine has been working since the day i bought it, in fact my parents are using it now. Dr Mario keeps them busy the whole day

I have never come across a NES that still works right. The Atari 2600 on the other hand is one tough machine. I still have
my old Atari. It's been mistreated throughout it's life. (me as alittle kid taking to friend's houses, dropping it, spilling
food and drinks on it..... I was clumsy..) It's been in a garage forgotten for many years. It's covered in dust and cob webs,
it's endured miami heat for over a decade. It even survived huricane Andrew. (garage roof blew off. It got rained on)

It still works perfectly. All the games and joysticks work perfectly.
