Thanks for the recs duders. I really wanna get Shining Force. And Psychic World, because of the cute anime graphics. The other day I was in a video game store looking at GameGear games. But my wife called and yelled at me when she found out I was shopping for games. Maybe I'll return next week and g...

I can barely believe it when I think back on it, but I didn't touch video games from 2001 - 2006. Just suffered from burnout I guess. I was a huge SNES fan back in the day (still am) and was obsessed with JRPGs (again, I still am). I remember when the N64 and Playstation came out in the late ninetie...

Just got a Game Gear and three games in the mail. Tested the three games and ONLY the sound worked, no picture. In a rage, I began searching for the seller's return address and a box so I could pack up the busted handheld and ship it back to the mofo who had the cojones to sell me busted goods. Then...

So I got a refurbished NES (cleaned with a new 72 pin connector) from nintendorepairshop.com (great site, by the way). Every game fits really tightly, and plays flawlessly on the first try if I don't push them down . It's no problem, I'm thrilled to have an NES that finally works. I'm just wondering...

Just like the OP, my oldest game is Combat.

My oldest non-A2600 game is the Mario Bros. Game & Watch.

Good game, but I haven't made it past level 4 yet.

Anyone else find the jumping (over holes) awkward?
