this is the story of how i got my new nes. if anyone has a more crazy story, please post it.
at my friend's house last weekend, i noticed in his closet he had an nes box and a snes just sitting on top of it. i asked him if he had any good games and shocked he said, "what? for those? im just going to throw them away." :shock: :evil: after fighting back the my screams :D i asked if i could check them out. turns out, there was a mint nes in the nes box. i mean mint! plastic looks brand new, not faded in the least, still has some gloss to it. my friend said that if i wanted them i could have them for a few bucks.
nothing like a near brand new nes, in the box, and an snes with 5 games.
most shocking thing: he was just gonna throw them away :cry: guess he didn't know what he had :D :D :D

too many people throw video games away... they're worth keeping around if for no other reason than to know that you have them.

The only way I part with any video game stuff is through trading. My NES stuff is off limits, though. I only have one of each item, except the basic controller, of course. I think I'd snap somebody if they threw away my video games!

I've received many things for free by those who are about to throw it away. My old youth pastor gave me a bunch of NES games and a recent friend just gave me an old Power Glove that was in his garage.

The most rare peripheral I have is the Power Pad. That thing wears you out quick!

My friends dumped pretty much every nintendo game I have including Super Mario 3, Blaster master, Zelda, Final Fantasy, and both Double Dragons. Not too bad...

It is probably not as surprising or anything but when I was 4 or 5, I used to love just looking around my house for stuff, just digging in closests and stuff, I went in my Grandmother's room and found the NES deep in the closet, my older bro told me about it saying if he could find cords to it, I could have it. I found the cords but all I had was like 3 games, over the summer, I went to my cousins and he gave me like 20 more games! He gave me his gun for Duck hunt but it does not work :(
