I feel old. We are old. I turned 36 this year and found my first gray hair. Just shoot me. I remember getting our Super NES Christmas morning and playing Mario all day long. I honestly don't remember which other games we bought for it. I wasted a lot of years playing video games. I got a buddy with two kids who plays them still. He'll play until 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning. It's the only fun he has after his kids and wife finally fall asleep. |

When blowing in the game didn't work the next step was shoving another game on top of the one you wanted to play.

My wife and I were watching our friends kid (13 y/o). We asked her if she wanted to play my NES. She said yes and we started the game for her. She played a few lives and then asked if this was what the wife and I played when we were growing up. I said yes to which she got a sad face and said "I feel sorry for you guys".

This video is horse shit. I interact with about 160 17-18 year olds on a daily basis. The majority of them have played NES and a fair number have even played Atari 2600 and older consoles. They just got some of the most retarded, sheltered-ass douchetards they could find. Exactly. They tell them to act surprised and to freak out over this stuff. The majority of 17-18 yer olds today grew up with their Gameboy. It is in essence the EXACT same thing as a NES or SNES but you can put it in your pocket. |

The top loader is the best NES. Especially if you video mod it for composite video.
The cartridge connector is way more reliable. |

I sold my NES and all my games at a garage sale for $20 in the mid 90s to fund buying 16MB RAM for my 486, so I could play newer games on it... And that $20 was only a fraction of the cost of those four 4MB sticks.
Wow. One of my childhood friends still has his NES, complete with Game Genie and all of the stupid stickers that we put on it as kids - lots of Marvel and Batman hologram stickers. I do miss weekend/summer marathons of SMB3 where the NES stayed on for days. My wife and I still play it on Mario All Stars. |

On Super Mario Bros....there was a rumor you could jump over the flag at the end of the level. Anyone ever do this or is this an urban legend? yes you can. you can also jump over the "ceiling" on the first underground map and run on top of the map all the way to the end of the game. The ceiling trick in 1-2 takes you to a warp which only goes as far as 4-1, not the end of the game.

At least the chicks dig it though. I get asked if I dye it that way on purpose a lot.

I had to take the cartridges apart and use a special contact cleaner (basically a pen using a fiberglass rod) that strips the dirt off the metal, but doesn't harm the metal itself. A que-tip and alcohol or whatever just doesn't cut it sometimes. Quote HistoryQuoted:

We had one and yes I played Pong But did you have the B&W console that came out before the Atari 2600--the one that just had Pong? Maybe it had one or two other games--I think you had to switch games with a 3-position lever switch. No cartridges, no additional games. Just Pong, and it was awesome. |
