I think I have pong and the original Atari (2600?) up in the attic. Joystick and a button was good, now it's all crazy. I keep my kids away from video games as much as I can, that's why we camp all the time.
 
Somebody paid $13k for an old NES? I guess I better put mine up and wait for another sucker.:keyboard:


YES!!! hold on to it, especially if you have original packaging. Those things are worth a ton. along with games and everything, the value is skyrocketing!
 
I knew that when a Goodwill Store near me had a commotion because they have that thing and they refused to sell the donated NES for 3 bucks as reflected in the tag price :biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2:
 
The $13g Nintendo went for that much based soley on the game it was packaged with which is crazy.

I have no reason to let it go but I have turned down offers over $100 for it as it's complete with all the paperwork that came with it in '88 then a few years later it went into storage and wasn't taken out til just last year. It works like it did when new but Duckhunt doesn't look so good on a 46" LCD.:nerd:
 
do you still have to blow on the games to get them to work :tongue:

how did you get a black wii? i have never seen one before, now i want one.
 
Blowing on them removes the dust that buildsup on the contacts but recently I went through and cleaned the game's contacts with alcohol and they all work fine.

The black Wii just came out and with the lowered price of $199 they also throw in Wii Sports Resort and a motion plus sensor with the controller so I just had to another controller with the motion plus which my GF had to have a pink one.
We also got a charging stand that allows you to just set the controllers on to recharge for $25 which was perfect since you don't have to remove the controller covers to recharge them.
 
I have the white wii with the same style charging station. i hated removing the covers on the remotes. now the only time i have to remove them is to sync the remotes when the neighbors come over or if i take them places.

monoprice.com is a great site to get wii stuff. they have covers and recharge packs for so cheap. i bought silicone covers for my controllers, balance board and rechargeable batteries for my balance board. i wanted an orange one but their orange is kind of ugly looking. so blue and black it is.

its a great site for any of your wire needs. i buy all of my HDMI cables on it.
 
Wow, this thread is bringing back great memories of years ago. Playing Duck Hunt with the guns, Super Mario Brothers, BomberMan..... I can kick myself for selling my NES after buying an N64.

The Costco'es near me have them. They also have the black Wiimote with the Wii Motion.
