I still have my NES and in fact after reading your post I went upstairs to where it is in the closet and saw what games I still have for it.

Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt (this is the one that came with the unit I believe)
Rad Racer
Excite Bike
Spelunker
Top Gun
Football
Super Spike V' Ball
Roger Clemens' MVP Baseball

I want to kick myself now. I had more games but threw them away years ago because I wanted more space in the closet and decided to clean out. I still have all the paperwork, cables, the two controlers, and the gun for Duck Hunt for the NES also.

I still have the old-school Nintendo .. the original .. the grey box .. and that is the only video game system we have ever had .. and it still works .. especially the duck hunt game ...

and about the games ... i used to love operation ... but then me and my brother got into a fight and threw the pieces at each other .. and they were never seen after ..

Re: The nostalgia thread or "Do you remember?" or All things old.

Apple IIs? I used to use one... Elementary school, an old k1 building. They may still use them...

Anyone get a Commorore? My dad had one, and when I was, like, 5, we used to play games on it. We only had 2. For the longest time we had the monitor lieing around. We finally tossed it when we moved.

Re: The nostalgia thread or "Do you remember?" or All things old.

I still have the NES too... Among the 20-ish games my brother got were: Mega Man 3, Kirby's Adventure, RBI Baseball (ah, yes, the waddling players who were bean-balled many times by my pitchers ), Pac-Man, Final Fantasy (off of which the webcomic 8-Bit Theater is based), Super Mario 3, and Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt (stupid dog...). Complete with the two controllers and Duck Hunt gun. Ack! Almost forgot... Bubble Bobble!

as for old TV shows... Ren & Stimpy, Animaniacs, Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry, Ghost Writer (I had a pen on a string and a notebook like theirs and I think I still have a page or two in that notebook with "info" on "suspects"... yeah I was and still am a weird kid ), Dinosaurs!, TMNT, all those other cartoons based on comics like X-Men, Saved by the Bell, Sailor Moon (hate to admit it), all those DragonBall shows.

I think I still have my pogs... And after going through this thread, I recently pulled out my Pound Puppy and started carrying it around the house again. Koosh balls were cooooool... Still got a couple of those too I think. Packrat-ing is fun. Used to have Kid Pix but I fear that it's been trashed. Ooh and MAD Magazine was cool. Anyone like/play Clue, the board game? Or Clue Jr...

Do they still make Cracker Jacks? I don't see them around anymore... T-T There were Squeeze-Its too. Hm... Anyone else feel old now?

Full House, Perfect Strangers, Family Matters, and (after a little checking) Just the Ten of Us.

Perfect Strangers was the best of all of 'em. I have tried Balki's bowling method at least once.

How many people can say that they have the original 1988 Nintendo? Now how many people can say that that is the only gaming system they have ever had? That's right. that is all there is in my house. No N64 .. No Sega .. No Game Boys .. No PS2s ... AND it is still in working order as I was playing it just this past weekend .. Gotta love that Super Mario and Double Dragon .. games that are both as old as me ....

I can!!!! And I'm pretty sure it still works, it's been about a year since I played it. However that is not the only gaming system we have. We also have an Atari!! Frogger and Pac-Man are still my favorite video games.

Speaking of which, I remember the old ABC Saturday morning cartoon show "Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog". That was good, but not as good as Sonic X.
