Yep, I still have it. Fixed it once years ago, and it's never given me problems.. ever.

I sold mine when I got a Super Nintendo, and I've regretted it since. I could buy I new one, but for some reason it's not the same to just get some used one when the used wasn't caused by me. :)

Yes, but its dead. I could buy a new one for like 10 bucks at my local shop.

My mom gave mine away to her friend's kids.

They sold it when they got an N64.

I had a Sega Genesis but i gave it to Dyne because I didn't particularily wanted it when I found out that my Dungeons and Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun cartridge no longer worked.

Plus I wanted to help out Dyne's collection.

I will put him to shame when my Sega Saturn I ordered off of Ebay comes in the mail.

I still have a SNES. But I want to get all the classic Ninty consoles just because they are still very cheap and I can find the great games at Pawn Shops for like $5. Some might even have games like FF (number here) for $5 or $10 while a comic book store (with knowledge about game prices) charge $30 or $40 for the same thing. You will most likely get a worse look if you buy at a Pawn Shop, but I dont need the box:p

Hmmm, how much did you pay? There's a system at a local store that was going for $20.

I got my system in 1997-98 (not sure) for $50. The system didn't last long in the market... but the games are great! *hugs his Albert Odyssey: Legend of Eldean*

I got it for $45 canadian. Which is really good seeing how it has 2 controllers, all the cables and comes with 10 games.

The $45 is including shipping and handeling.

So I think I got a good deal.

I have all the Nintendo systems. NES games are a lot funner to play than most PS2, GC, or X-Box games I'd say. Ice Hockey, World Cup Soccer, Mario Bros 1, Mario Bros 3, etc.

I still have my NES, but it goes blink blink blink blink BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK BLINK GODDAMNIT BLIIIIINNNNK!!............ And I know how to fix it (replace 72 pin connector) but I'm too lazy, and I sold all my NES games to a friend of mine and shoved my NES in the closet...

But everytime I go to my friend's house (not very often since it's like a 20 minute drive there) we can enjoy good NES games because his works perfectly...

Fun times...

Yeah, I still have my NES and SNES. I have over a hundred games for NES and maybe 40-50 for SNES. How can you not keep the best systems ever?

Go to http://www.classicgaming.com

They have a tutorial for opening it up and bending the connectors back. You don't need to replace anything.

What the hell!? If I'm too damn lazy to replace it, what on earth makes you think I'd take the time to do the tedius work of carefully bending each little pin!?

.... By the way I tried that awhile back and it didn't work... The first time after the operation, the game turned on just fine, after that it was back to it's old problems...

Meh, it's like a 10-minute job. Not very long compared to a game session. :p Hell, driving to wherever to find one to replace it would take longer.... And this way is free.
