Sweet! For me, that game is pretty hard to find!

I'm back (for the moment)!

Megaman Collection if you have a PS2 get it, otherwise don't if you are a player of the originals as the Capcom brain trust of idiocy decided to swap the B/A button functions of the NES games. Trust me, it gets grating after that 10th time you walk off into a pit with your gun firing off a single round. They were just so nice not even giving a button config option and yet making the PS2 game have the right button layout.

Either that or get the Xbox version if you have an Xbox that one had a button mapping option in the options mode. It does get annoying on the GC but after awhile you get use to it and it just feels natural.

Most recently I picked up a original transparent gameboy and 7 games at a garage sale for $5.

Ugh damn them. The xbox one you could remap?! What the hell was Capcom's problem? Sheesh.

I guess it doesn't surprise me considering how long they've given Nintendo owners the wash-rinse-repeat cycle of loves-lies-abuse. N64 they shafted then come in at the end with fake promises to support more they didn't. They apologized again on the GC promising a Capcom 5, which we got 1 1/2 as RE4 they really went over the line with 2 weeks before release giving howling PS2 fanboys a reason not to buy a Cube with the 'definitive version of RE4' with added weapons and Ada as playable -- then cancelling the other 3 promised titles. Capcom seems to love to act like a friend when it's suiting to them, then they earn some trust with a game or two, and then they pull out the knife set and start throwing and slicing generation after generation. Personally I don't buy from them anymore unless it's used as I can't fund that kind of practices at all on any system, it's not a Nintendo only boycott.

Uhh brooks is dead wrong just so you know. The NES, any of them even the top loader late in life all came with the A/V mono cable. You can get a cheapo replacement over at Radio Shack for like $5 +/- so you should be set. If it powers on now you're good, if it doesn't flicker the red light with a game in even better. If it gets wonkey, philps head screwdriver, paper towels, a few q-tips, and some 91% isopropyl alcohol rubdown on especially the pin connector which you can unscrew from the board. Check all connections even to the pads, make them firm, reassemble and give it a go.

Actually you aren't quite right yourself. The top loader was RF only. That is the version I use, which is why I wasn't sure if the original NES came with the cables or not.

Uhh it wasn't I had a top loader. It was the SNES that had the lame RF only, and I never did quite get that.

I think you could mod it to use the audio/video cables but I can assure you the top loader was RF only. I just researched it last night and even looked at scans of the original manual online and it is RF only. I will find the link. I guess I could also go through my closet and look at the back of it as well.

EDIT: Here is where I found the manual scans for the NES top loader. Unless you know something I don't, it was clearly meant to be RF only. http://www.nesplayer.com/features/top%20loader/index.htm

I traveled 50 miles and finally got EarthBound.

The Terminator for the Megadrive.

This game is odd (1 life, 4 levels, complete in 20 mins...) but along with Alien 3, I really like the atmosphere Probe Software managed to create on 16-bit hardware.

Well I FINALLY got my hands on my own Sega Saturn system about a week ago. Bought it at a GameXchange for $50. It was in really nice shape, came w/ all the nesseccary hook-ups and two controllers (one standard pad and one 3D). I also got a free game with it aswell, sinse the store clerk didn't realize there was a game in the system when I bought it, it was only a nascar game though.

The store didn't have much saturn games, but I found a copy of Sega Rally for $6 and this wierd mech-style game called Ghen War for only $2, both were complete. A friend who used to own a saturn gave me his old copy of Virtra Fighter 2 as well.

The latest retro purchase of mine was Turok on N64 last month. (I sold it many years ago.)
