Or they DID, the last time I tried them out, which was actually a couple of years ago. I think it's time for their occasional cleaning again.

Screw Murphy's Law and the horse it rode in on. (Eh, I'll spare the horse. I like horses.)

Your cartridge connector pins are probably shot like every other NES on Earth. Just get a new 72-pin on Ebay.

This makes me wonder just how long my NES has until I can't use it anymore.

*sigh* Anyway, here's more old school goodness.

I had that when I got the NES Action Set back in 1989, but then I gave up my copy once I got Super Mario All-Stars for the SNES. So I've been thinking I ought to own the original 8-bit version again. Sure I could download it from the Virtual Console, but it's just more nostalgic playing it on the system for which it was originally made.

More to come.

Super Mario Bros. 2 for the NES

I also gave that up some time after getting Super Mario All-Stars for the SNES. So I'm off to play this one again soon to take me back to what it was like to play it on the original console.

*Turo602* · 07-15-2010, 07:24 AM

I finished Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow, can't wait to start the next one. I've been also playing Tomb Raider Legend and is way better then anniversary, but I'm almost done with it, just need like a level and a half.

Mortal Kombat onnnnnnnne

Digital Ghost · 07-15-2010, 12:09 PM

I finally picked up a PSP! The Metal Gear Solid pack... and I LOVE it!
Purchased it brand new, minus $20 and taxes off the retail price, thanks to a local want-ad site.

As well as the following games:

Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles
Fat Princess: A Fistful of Cake
God of War: Chains of Olympus
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
Lemmings
Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X
Mega Man: Powered Up!
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
Midway Arcade Treasures (for Mortal Kombat 1, 2 & 3 of course)
Mortal Kombat Unchained
Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX

I'm open to game recommendations, so let me know what PSP games you like, etc.

*Ninjinister* · 07-15-2010, 12:32 PM

Kakuto Banchou: Badass Rumble.

Its title is accurate.

Also: don't buy any Japan-only anime fighters. There's a reason that s**t was never released overseas.

*Storm Eagle* · 07-15-2010, 05:33 PM

Now today, I found this gem in my mailbox.

That one brings back the BEST memories. I originally got it in the summer of 1990 and it was definitely one of the highlights of my summer for that year. I was also quite popular at school once it resumed after that.

So now I'm done with my retro gaming haul. I think.

*Turo602* · 07-15-2010, 07:01 PM

I'm done with Legend, so now I'm working on Tomb Raider Underworld. I like What I'm seeing so far.

*shuriken* · 07-15-2010, 07:10 PM

Fight Night Round 2 on the PS2. Pretty awesome game that was only 10 bucks.

愛 · 07-15-2010, 07:21 PM

Busted out Oregon Trail for the Apple II today for some Let's Play action. I'm sure I'll be done with that game soon, as it's only like, 20 minutes long.

BentonGrey · 07-15-2010, 07:37 PM

I'm currently playing Transformers: War for Cybertron, Freedom Force Vs. The Third Reich (my own and other's mods), and Medieval Total War II.

Charlotte_Sometimes · 07-15-2010, 07:41 PM

Well, I got back to Mario Kart Wii to try and finally complete the whole game this time, but it's soooo haaaaarrd, it hurts! >.<

愛 · 07-16-2010, 09:50 PM

Picked up Red Dead Redemption today. Wow, what an awesome game. I played it for 4 hours straight, and intend on playing all day tomorrow.

Digital Ghost · 07-16-2010, 09:55 PM

My fiancée and I played Tetris Party (Wii edition) for nearly three hours tonight... what fun!

Mind you, I can't imagine enjoying it nearly as much alone but if you have someone to battle, pick it up!

BentonGrey · 07-16-2010, 11:08 PM

Really? It's hard to imagine Tetris being that gripping. What makes it so engaging? The wife and I have been playing Boom Blox quite a bit lately. The Wii is good for games that your wife will actually be willing to play with you.

愛 · 07-16-2010, 11:18 PM

Tetris is a timeless and always addicting game. I played Tetris every day for a good portion of my senior year in high school, during classes. I even played during gym class. Good times.

*Ninjinister* · 07-16-2010, 11:55 PM

I used to hate Tetris when I was younger. Now, I look back and see how foolish I was. Tetris DS was the first game I bought for my DS, Tetris is the only game I play on my cell phone (and I end up playing it quite often, mostly in short bouts), and the number one game I'm trying to get my hands on for Pokémon Mini is Pokémon Tetris.

Also: Music A is one of the most frequent earworms I've experienced.
