RBI baseball was cool until Baseball Stars came out. It was the first game you could actually play as the GM. You could draft, trade, and improve your players skills. AND, you could save your progress and pick up where you left off. Very cool for an NES game.

That's why u get emulators and you can still play these classics without having to kill your lungs to get the NES to read your games.

My fav's are zelda (both 1 & 2) and metroid

Blowing on the cartridges did NOTHING. That was simply placebo effect. The NES I got back from my sis didn't work at all. Power button blinking symptom (when it can't read a game) that we all know and love. I Googled the fix and it worked. Simply open it up and bend the 40+ pins out a little so they make better contact with the leads on the games.

BTW, console game emulators are sweet. They are free, take up no space, and don't require much in the way of graphics, CPU, or RAM to run.

It's known as the Konami code. I believe the first game to use it was Gradius (one of the first games I remember playing for NES). Used to play Double Dragon regularly too.

Skate or Die 2 was the isht. Loved that game, especially the half pipe.

I still have my NES, and it works. I did try TMNT for a little bit. Still sucks.

Remember Rush n Attack? That was a fun one too. And Commando. And Breakthru.

I have no idea what you could be talking about.

I was somewhere else at the time.

That was something you dreamed.

I refuse to testify on the grounds that I might......

Yada, yada, yada...... At least you got a new, much better joystick out of it!
