devonianwalk Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Thought I'd post this here as I know a lot of NPORA members are old enough to (fondly) remember the original Nintendo (NES). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I miss my NES, the door for the cartridge was broken (which I didn't mind for Game Genie use), the top was held on with duct tape, you had to blow in any cartridge you put in until you were about to pass out, and that friggin Friday the 13th game was stupidly hard for my childish ways...

devonianwalk Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 One of my friends and his little brother used to have epic fights. He cracked a bamboo stick on the back of his brothers legs (which made us all wince) which led to his kid brother grabbing a steak knife from the kitchen. We thought he was going to swing at my buddy when he walked over to the NES and stabbed it right in the middle of the console. Of course, we were all shocked that he would do this to "all of us". Don't you know? The darn thing still worked! You would have to repeatedly insert the cartridge until it worked but .. it worked! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbley11 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I used to have one, but it broke for good. It was my sisters as I was too young to see it when it first came out, but I loved it. I ended up buying a chinese knockoff which can play nes and snes. It may not be original but it nice to be able to play both in one console and even play the games again.

Kingman Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I had one my parents bought new. Sold it for $20 back in high school, broken. It stopped reading the cartridges and would just flash a white screen when you turned it on. Lots of fun times playing Super Mario Bros and Duck Hunter.

RedPath88 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 You people have issues!! B Meh I have other game systems as well. In fact the only game system that I had and don't have now is my old Atari 5200 (never had the 2600/7800) As for having the old systems, they were at the parents house after I moved out. Mom kept them for me, then when she reminded me about them, I decided to keep them since the boys were not far from basic gaming ages. Already had the systems and a bunch of games, easier and cheaper than buying new Oh and I can play just about any NES/SNES game on my phone right now, using an emulator and the original games rom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
