No I can't say I have anything like that

There will never be a gaming system that could ever match the NES!!!!!

Who on the boards collects 8-bit NES games

 

A couple boardies collect the games. Bronty, I believe, is one.

 

cgcworld (Jim) as well and a couple others

 

I think your being quite modest here Daniel

 

To the Nintendo collecting world you are the John Verzyl of the hobby, pioneering and in accomplishment.

That's borderline sickness, man.

Well I like it. I think its fun when hobby rooms are decorated as long as its clean and not just a bunch of random hobby mess all over the place. I.e. neat, clean organized makes for a fun display. mess everywhere makes for a flea market in your basement

I'm looking for a rather mint copy of Nintendo Power #1, I tried asking the Nintendo collectors but many of them think that if the cover is not falling it must be mint :doh:

Nintendo was cool but I have equally fond memories of the Atari 2600...I remember games like Empire Strikes Back, Dig Dug and PacMan and Pitfall...was Pitfall Atari or was that Nintendo??....Good times.

 

I like playing video games but my nostalgia for them is dwarfed by my passion for classic books, comic books and Star Wars. That said, I did get a Nintendo Power subscription as a kid and enjoyed reading them. I remember when my brother and I found the cheat part of Super Mario Bros where you hit the turtle against the steps and get like 90+ free lives...kinda took the fun out of it though after that. Mike Tyson's Punchout rocked but my favorite was Castlevania!!

[DiceX]

Pitfall was by Activision for Atari 2600.

So there is a grading for game cartridges too?

[AGGIEZ]

Someone explain grading for NES games. Do they just grade 'sealed' games or can you get opened but complete games (i.e. box/cart/IM) graded as well? Do they just grade cartridges as well?
