Last NES game you played?
« on: February 23, 2013, 04:24:27 PM »
I just got done testing about 60 NES carts that I got a hold of.
Cleaned the contacts, pop it in a retrobit console, make sure it fires up, rinse, repeat. So today, between eye-bleeds, I was able to muscle through about 30 seconds of 60 different games. The last one being Silk Worm (not terrible), which I actually tested in my genuine, toaster, NES.
During this madness, i came to one conclusion...these retrobit machines are garbage.
Built like shit with terrible connections.  Worst part about it, the pin virtually locks the game in and it feels like R2D2 going through a meat grinder when you finally pull the game out.

There is just an unparalleled satisfaction of real NES hardware.
I still have mine from childhood, and on my third 72 pin.

So what was the latest, actual NES game you played?  (No ROM/emulation/VC)

The last NES session I had was with the Taxan version of G.I. Joe.
SignofZeta: What a quintessentially PCEFX thread. Someone complains about nothing, multiple Bible-length posts discussing who's a bigger a$$hole follow. You're both pretty big a$$holes. Let's call it a tie.

I think it was Jeopardy a few years ago. I keep my NES games in individual zip-loc bags, after cleaning the contacts with alcohol.

I have two official Nintendo game holders and then one rubbermaid container that holds 40-50 NES games. No boxes unfortunately. I do have a good sum of manuals for the games though.

On actual hardware? Damn it's been a long time it's hard to remember. I have an orginal NES as well as the top loader but not the real estate to keep them hooked up. I play some of my favorite NES games on the Wii VC for the time being. The last game I played through was Faxanadu. Love that damn game, probably my favorite NES game next to Castlevania III and the original Zelda.

Super Team Games using the Power Pad with my 5 year old. I died not even a quarter of the way through the course. She ran straight through like a champ. Sucks getting old(er)... :(

EDIT: Typed the wrong game... fixed.

Mario about 15 years ago.
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!
