www.classicgaming.com/museum/nes/When I got my NES I was like a kid in a candy store. I have pictures of myself glued to the screen pounding away at Super Mario Bros. the day after I got it. I was stuck with SMB and Duck Hunt for a very long time before I got some other games. Loved the NES but it too was suplanted by superior games systems in a very rapid period of time. Technology marches forward.

Hey Gang, I came across an old NES about a year and a half ago, it had 2 controllers all the hook-ups and about 9 games for $25.oo. It sorta worked but I found PEDRO! ( my NES go-to guy) on Ebay and got a 72 pin repair kit, and now it works great. I play Duck Hunt, Top Gun, and Mario, quite often. I also have the NES advantage controller (a type of arcade joystick), an all-gray NES Zapper (Japan & early U.S. issue as opposed to the gray/orange type usually sold in the U.S.) I also have this neat little item...it's called the NES Satellite! It's-get this, a wireless controller hub! The satellite sits on the coffee table, and you plug the controllers into it. On the console, you plug in a IR adapter where the controllers normally plug in, and Voila! semi wireless gaming on the NES! The Satellite runs on 6 "C" batteries, witch sounds like a drag, but it actually uses very little power, and GET READY FOR THIS...it will power-down after about 10 minutes of inactivity! AND IT REALLY WORKS! That's pretty advanced for it's day. (Photos to follow soon-ish)

Used to love my NES. I've always intended to get another. I had at one time about 3 dozen games (I hit a nice score from a friend back in the day). Now my interest has been re kindled. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
The wireless controller is a very cool add on that I didn't know about. I suppose many of the standard innovations we enjoy with contemporary games systems had to have been developed years ago.

Hey, if you want to some really funny NES stuff you should check out cinemassacre.com, it's the home of the "Angry Video Game Nerd". HA!HA!HA! The Host is James Rolf, and he really knows his stuff. He also does reviews on other game systems, and movies as well. He does "Monster Madness" every day in October, talking about movies for Halloween. So check out his website, the language is a little strong for some, but he's "Angry" at all these (crappy) games and really is funny.
