Yeah Joe, in a weird way it discouraged me for collecting for the NES for a long time. Finally dove back in and enjoyed it, & now I have my original back!
Ok, he sent me a video vs a pic. Has two controllers, two zappers, RF, & system. Just remembering a few of my titles I picked up much later (Castlevania, Zelda, Jaws, Tiger Heli) were loaned out when I was in high school but all my original childhood titles were there except for Tetris:
- Mario/Duck Hunt
- Mario/Duck Hunt/Track & Field
- Mario Bros 3
- Sesame Street 1, 2, 3
- Platoon
- Code Name Viper
- Mikey Mousecapade
- Captain Skyhawk
- TMNT II Arcade
Overall, very happy to get all this back after nearly a decade! I think my dad is as equally excited to find it & return it!
Technically I borrowed Mickey from cousin, who still collects, about 20 years ago...

Appreciate the shared excitement! Can't wait to have it in my possession. They live a couple hours away. Road trip excuse...
