NES

One thing that Andrew made me think of (since he has just moved this last weekend) is that I will now have a tv and a place to hook up my NES. What a classic system! I spent so many hours playing games like Bionic Commando, Dr. Mario, and of course the other Mario games. I think that I'll check around Walmart or somewhere for Mario 3 (which I don't think that I have). btw, there is a master list of games for the nes (pdf). So cool!

I had problems with my system many years ago... Andrew told me that you can clean it by getting "electronic contact clearer" from Canadian Tire, and 1500 grit sand paper. You spray on the cleaner (and wait, I'm not sure) and then use something like a ruler to rub the contacts with the sand paper in the same direction as the contacts. I'll try this out, but I have to get it back from my brother first. :-D

    Just wanted to add that the NES System is a lot of fun but beware of cramps in your hands. The controllers are (relatively) much smaller than when your were a kid. When I went to Calgary someone took their system back and then took all of my games...so I now run the emulators from my PC and pump it to my tv. Oh ya. Bionic Commando is the only reason that I passed classical history:The Early Roman empire. Otherwise I couldn't have sat through a class. Let me know when you get your system and I'll teach you a lesson. or two . or three. May as well make it (lesson)*

    It's amazing. I think that everyone loved Bionic Commando. everyone who played it that is. There's something to be said about a game that takes so long to beat, and has no warping or other crap in it. Makes it so much more satisfying to finish.
