m308gunner | 352 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) Copy and pasted from my first post in another age Hello all, I'm an old school NES addict who has forsaken all other systems for my first angular gray love. As I get older and life gets more and more busy, I find that I just don't have the time (or money) to play all the great games that are coming out nowadays. After realizing that I was really just trying to recapture that magic and mystery I had playing the NES as a kid I sold EVERYTHING but my few remaining games . Slowly but surely I have been re-collecting all my favorites (CIBs ONLY) and discovering all the games I never knew existed back in the day (and kicking the crap out of myself for throwing away all those boxes and booklets. Oh what a young fool I was!). Now that I have devoted my gaming energies to one and only one system I realize that I don't just want to passively enjoy these classics; I want to create my own! After 10+ years of on and off studying I am... only slightly closer to that goal But now I'm here.. so that must count for something!

VegHead | 127 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Welcome, welcome! I believe your avatar is from Metal Storm. I haven't played it, but I saw that it was getting a re-release on an NES cart through Limited Run Games. Are you planning to pick one of those up?

ap123 | 112 Subscriber T1 · Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Welcome! I bought two non-functioning NES carts from you back in 2012 for $5, Zelda and Punch Out. I was able to fix up Zelda, but didn't manage to get Punch Out working again. Can I have a refund, please? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
