@Ryno: @Waveboy: I think the reason for all the red headbands on the orignal TMNT game was cause in the comic the trutles all wore the same color headband. It wasnt till the first cartoon series that they gave each turtle there own color so kids could tell them apart.

I bought my first game for the NES since I got it. Punch-Out!! for $13.49 at Play N Trade! The game was a bit of trouble in the beginning because it wouldn't work. I was worried since before I even put it in the first time I cleaned the contacts. After some blowing it worked just fine. I love it. It's the classic I remember. It's so much fun, but so punishing as it goes on. I'm currently on the third title bout where you have to fight Piston Honda again. So far I'm stuck on the rematch with Bald Bull. Great game and I saw most copies go for $14 on ebay so not a bad deal either.
Punch-Out!! is a great NES classic, nice purchase. The music is so awesome. Du…, dunada,_ dunada, dunnadaa . And as for NES games not working, all I can say is don’t give up. You can clean the contacts and they still might not work right away but a good blow never fails!
Double Dragon is awesome, nice purchase there and complete with black seal and all! How very "collector" of you That classic is on Ryan’s retro list of amazingly good times soon to be had! I never played it in the arcade but was all over it on the NES. Level 3 was my downfall though like many. The jumps, oh man the bridge jumps… and then followed by the Abobo Bonanaza! I love Double Dragon’sBilly & Jimmy Theme, definitely Top 10 NES VGM material if you ask me. Here is another Double Dragon classic that brings me back to nostalgia land. [youtube:M77093Txe-c] Rescue Rangers as well? Very impressed, that NES collection of yours is shaping up nicely! Agree with you one thousand million percentage points that retro titles are too hard to resist. This guy would most definitely approve:
So here is my latest, fantastically lame silver NES box and all! I still need to get a hold of its sister, Metroid, though. I remember this game as being a side of supery dupery sugary sweet sauce, haven't played it in a long time but I have been playing precision perfect platformers like Ninja Gaiden so those vertical Pit jumps should be a good test. I remember I stunk like a skunk when it came to this game, time to redeem!
I really am satisfied with my Virtual Boy. Then again, it's only been a few days since I got it... Wario Land goes for about $20 used right now on Amazon.com, I will get it in October when we have more money...and batteries! This is probably not the best place to post this, but I am also the owner of a boxed (well, I got it boxed anyways ) Pokémon mini. I also got every game released in the U.S., again, boxed. All of that for about $150. Considering that most boxed retro systems go for more than $500, I think I did pretty well. I also have an NES, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy micro, as far as retro systems go. Tell me what you think of my collection, and please tell me about yours.

@Ryno Awesome, Kid Icarus complete in box! I was looking for Kid Icarus the other day, but remembered the unforgiving punishment and decided to wait and get it later, lol. I love the series though and really need to get a copy of that game. Smart purchase dude, it's an over looked classic. Can't wait for the new Kid Icarus 3DS game. @MetroidMaster17 Pokemon Mini complete in box is worth a pretty decent amount of money. I think I saw one for $40 maybe $50 once on ebay. I'd consider it retro and it seems like a fun little thing for Pokemon fans. I unfortunately never had one. Odd since I love Pokemon. Your collection sounds awesome You got some great classic consoles!

Fallout: New Vegas. It's retro. Thanks to the DRM, it's not working now. Sorry, just venting
But, I managed to track down a copy of Jet Force Gemini. That totally made my week Now I just need a working Sega Megadrive and I've got all the retro I need for at least the rest of the month (I'm well aware it's the 24th )

WaveBoy on the Beaufort Scale I give you a solid 9 on your lastest retro spree. I remember trying to play Back to the Future as a kid though unfortuantely that is about all I remember; just trying to play it. I do look forward to a review someday as I suspect it will receive the highest of WaveBoy Tsunami ratings. haha...not! I hope the game has Biff. I love that rudeatude dude and especially his comment about Marty's "life preserver." haha... LGN will always live on as long as you are there to keep the dream alive. It is a definitely a dirty job but hey, someone has to do it.
Do let me and the fellow Nintendo Lifer's know how the SNES controller refurb kit works out for you. I thought I was going to need that but during my latest fun-tastic romp with my SNES the controllers held up pretty admirably though I suspect with new rubbers it might be even tighter. And as always, I appreciate the kind words in regards to the review
I am not one to use headphones though I can appreciate there use (Metroid Prime Trilogy would be eargasm... errr.. amazing!). Someday I want to get a kick-butt rockin' surround sound stereo system not for movies but for video game music and sounds. Video game music is just Awesome Possum! I have more video game music songs downloaded on my phone than anything else.
@Waveboy: Ugh I never did like Back to the Future on NES. I did however like Back to the Future Part II/III on the NES. Of course I was alot younger than but the style of game play that BttF had just didnt grab my attention and I just didnt know what the heck to do.

@Waveboy Aw come on. AVGN is totally still nerdy. Don't be a hater because his video editing is getting so much better. He still makes good stuff if you ask me. I don't know if you saw his R.O.B the robot video, but I thought it was great. And his Nightmare on Elm's street totally tops Friday the 13th. He's still a nice lovable guy if you ask me.
Back on topic. I have not bought anything retro yet. I'm currently watching a cartridge only auction of River City Ransom though. oh yeah! Minus well rename it 8-bit Scott Pilgrim!
Freddy killing kids in their dreams? Pretty sure it was NoA, not the MPAA that would shoot down that idea. Or maybe it was going to be similar to the C64/DOS game, though I don't know if that's better.
That post was definitely more like a breaker there then compared to my ripple response Wavearoni. BUT, when you equip the Power Glove amazing things happen and speaking of the Glove, for which I got love, I just watched Angry Video Game Nerd’s review of the Power Glove at lunch. Oh man, I have not laughed that hard in such a long time either. Good stuff. Makes me want one though, if I am to have this supposed NES collection how could I not have the Power Glove right? I am sure you got one sitting next to your VHS copy of The Wizard huh?
Well I won’t hold my breath for a review of two of LJN’s finest then. The orig Elm Street game sounded cool, oh what could have been if NOA wasn’t all about being so nice. That was the time where kids were all about _hanging tough and heck, our parents thought video games were going to be our downfall anyway. I think I was to scared to play that game, I could not handle horror movies back then, haha… I remember even Ghosbusters scared me, I would go hide with my pound puppy. Sigourney Weaver was all kinda hot and freaky-deaky at the same time.
Crap I totally lost all the text I wrote after this! What I was saying that I am off in la-la land when it comes to my audio. I got notta. So thank you for the advice. I would love to have an audio system that would make Kid n' Play's House Party jealous. I was looking for something to ask for for my wife and I Anniversary and now I have something, a DTS Master/Dolby True HD 5.1-7.1 HDMI capable reciver, a 5.1-7.1 SS speaker system! Haha... Thanks for the info on how to unleash some killer audio!
That time machine must be working if you picked up some Turtle Pies and Ecto Cooler!
