Much like many important things in my life, I got too wrapped up in the reason I got into gaming, and now I can't remember it. Because of this, I'm not getting enjoyment out of gaming.

Yeah, I wish I still had the robot.  :(

I got into gaming from the arcades. I always loved trying to beat high scores. 

I never had the NES Robot  :(

But as for arcades, I LOVED beating all the older guys at the original Street Fighter... I usually could, too! (I was 7 when it came out)

That robot was and still is a POS! lol. He never did what I told him to do. Pssh, robotic operating buddy mah ash. Anyways, he is retired from playing Gyromite for now. He now resides as a security guard for my turbo collection.

couldn't pick a better guard. he kicks ass in brawl.

I want to get a ROB one day, but I fear finding a working one will be nigh unto impossible. which leaves repairing one, which is probably beyond my meager skills. Anyone know if there is a guide to fixing these things?

I found ROB at a thrift store once that didn't have discs and stuff, but for some stupid reason I still passed it up :( .

If ROB never does what you told him to do, you probably don't want him guarding your TG-16 collection.

R.O.B? That hunk of junk is even more useless than the virtual boy. I would know because for XMAS '88 I was given a NES package with ROB, Stack-Up, Gyromite, and Duck-Hunt.

Aside from Duck-Hunt, the other two games were garbage. Gyromite was mildly fun with a buddy, and Stack-Up was virtually unplayable. To this day I still couldn't figure out how to play Stack-Up, and I read the manual front to back a million times.

I sold my R.O.B set for hefty $306 on ebay in 2002. Good times.

I heard rumors that he poked peoples eyes out instead of playing Gyromite. I'm hoping he'll do that to intruders. I hope he doesn't get me though  8-[
