I ended up getting the Sega Master System and later a Genesis but played the NES at EVERYONE else's house and would trade systems for months at a time.

Eventually got a NES classic loaded with roms and still play these gems from time to time

My brother and I are famous Nintendobros

We beat Double Dragon II, took pics with a disposable camera, developed the pics, mailed them off to Nintendo Power, and had our names published in the next issue

That was the peak of my coolness

Hours / days on River City Ransom. In two player mode you could beat up your partner “on accident.” Lots of good debate if I meant to throw that bat or tire…

There was a Friday the 13th game I can still vividly remember the music. I don’t think I ever made any legitimate progress in it.

I forgot about Wall Street Kid. I played that for hours of endless failure.


I somehow beat that game in 5th grade but have since lost my arse in the stock market in my 20’s, 30’s, and 40’s.

My inability to keep the dog alive and girlfriend happy would later become a big part of my work life balance.

I’ll buy a box from you.



I have that one for sale, complete in box and is pretty mint and I have one other one I am keeping. The one I have on eBay I have up for $400 because it's in great condition with all of the manuals and everything.

I might lower the price soon, though.

If I come across just a box I will get in touch. I find that stuff from time to time in vacant repo houses.

10-4. Sounds good. I’m definitely not interested in anything for hundreds of dollars, especially when my NES works just fine and is in pristine condition. But I’d definitely take a box from you though since I (very stupidly) threw mine away like an idiot.

Zelda, Metroid and Bionic Commando were the best ones I remember playing. I also remember Blaster Master and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and how difficult those games were to finish.

MegaMan 2 and 3 were solid


For sure this is true, but I never understood why MM1 seldom gets a mention. Maybe it’s just bc MM1 is what I had for the longest time, but that one is my preference.
