I'd say SMB, Excitebike and Kung Fu are easily my top 3. 

I'm a cart collector, but have some CIB versions of my favorite games on display. Those 3 are the only black box games that made the display. Id probably add wild gunman but I don't have it complete

I've got a CIB sticker seal SMB and Kung Fu, but I still need to get an Excitebike. I should have picked up a gloss sticker when I had the chance instead of trying to wait on a matte sticker.

There's a picture of the 5 games I've got on my display from the other thread.

Good start to a retirement plan the way prices are going with that stuff

If I saved my games as a kid in 1987 it would basically look like that picture. I never owned a copy of Legend of Zelda though, only rented it. I got Adventure of Link for Christmas the next year.

New score P=21 (184,140). I should be able to get to phase 30. I was generally cruising 20200614_152848.thumb.jpg.7dd783f4505adafba2f72bc4499d2d5f.jpgthrough, but lost two lives farming on phase 9. That shit is maddening. Crazy all you guys rolled it. 

I assume it was basically because the five of us that rolled it are crazy.

I guess I know I'm old when it's a struggle to play the same game for 5 hours straight. When I was a kid, that was just an average Saturday.

There are some games such as Tetris that I can still put some time into.

Mario Bros isn't one of them.

I can't imagine wanting to play anything 5+ hours straight at this point. I guess when I was a kid renting a NES game I really wanted to get my $3 worth for the weekend.

Great job! Trust me, I'm in no hurry to play this one again either.

After all my bitching about the game, I was starting to enjoy it once I went back to just playing rather than trying to farm. Hoping I get time for another run, but it don't look good

It's not bad when you're just playing normally. It's the hours of point pressing that gets tedious.

I'm surprised you didn't get shamed much more for this 😄 Perhaps it's because folks aren't enjoying this game much - and also that you posted it in the wrong thread first 😉 

I made sure to tell him he needed to post a real score, but I don't remember which thread it was in either! 😂
