I still have my NES laying around somewhere, should still work.
I remember when the tape didn't want to work very well i used to blow hot air on it, or even put it in the fridge.

Remember this place where you could get 100 or some lives...By going up the little steps and then hitting on the ducks' shell repeatedly.

I miss playing that on my NES (which almost never works anymore); however, I miss the original Legend of Zelda more.  I played that game on and off for years and I think I still only am on the fifth labyrinth...

I saw a guidebook at a garage sale after I hadn't played for years, and I bought it, mostly as proof to myself that, yes, it can be beaten.

In SMB, I don't think I ever got out of the first castle, though, so I don't know how much can be said for that...

You mean the cartridge? I always just blew on them or a trick that I learned later is to put the cartridges not quite as far as they will go, so when you push it down it sort of rubs the edge (don't know if that makes sense)

Anyone ever beat SMB twice in a row (you know, the second time the enemies are all the black-shelled guys instead)

For some reason, Super Mario 64 drives me nuts. I have the DS version and the 64 version, and I could never beat either one.

Super Mario 2 is awesome, even though its not really super mario bros. :dunno:

Super Mario World was fun, but I never owned an SNES :(

Never played Mario Sunshine

Super Mario 3 is probably my favorite :thumbsup:

Wow, haven't thought about Kid Icarus in a long time, is that the one where you can get turned into an eggplant??

Ranking the Super Mario games that I've played:

Super Mario World (I think thats the SNES one)
SMB3
SMB1
Original Donkey Kong
SMB2

Anyone ever play those Mario Party games?  I swear the people who made them were high on LSD.

I remember the original LoZ - I still play it from time to time on my NES emulator. I'm playing FF1 at the mo' tho'.

If I have the money I'll be getting the Revolution and I still get urges to buy that GC I see in the window every day :(

Ahluka!  You have the ROM??!  I can't find a site that has it anymore, and I miss playing it in all its awesome glory...

I'll bug you someday for it.  If I get it now, I'll never get any work done and this next month is going to be absurd in the way of getting stuff done.

Well I just uploaded it to my site. Actually scratch that, I created a folder on ES for a reason.

Tis there for when you want it.

ethic will string me up by my ball hairs for this, but:
http://www.theoldcomputer.com/Libarary's/Emulation/NES/ROMs/NES_roms_summary.htm

It's the best NES ROM site I found a while ago.

Yep I did that :).

I think i almost beat it a second time. I could beat SMB so quickly it wasn't even funny
I knew most shortcuts and stuff. I remember the first night I beat it. I was so happy....

>>>Level 3-1. It was at the stairs right before the flagpole at
the end of the level. I have the GBA version of Super Mario
Bros.

yup

I'm not going to hell for whatever ROMs I have.  The only ones I currently have are "Friday the 13th" and "Base Wars," both of which I still own the cartridge for.  On the issue of "Legend of Zelda," not only do I still own the cartridge, but also the original guidebook and map that came with it.
