I found a NES game system about 3 months ago and been wondering ever since what to do with it as it's in pretty good shape for being that old. So today while cleaning my room I decided to see if there was any cheap games on craigslist. I did some searching and found out that a store local to me actually had 2 of my favorite games in stock so I went out and bought both of them for super cheap. It's like re-living my childhood playing these games lots of fun.
One thing I didn't forget is how some of the Nintendo's have the issue where when you insert the game into the slow and you push it down and press the power button, well the power light just flashes and nothing happens. So I had to blow at the contacts on the game and put it in and out a few times to get the games working. I know they have a fix for this so I will see if I can find one on eBay or a local game shop but till then it should be OK.
