This guy will show you how itīs done - take it away, mr Koralik! (If you donīt want to see when he takes apart and cleans the system skip to 11:25) Huh? Don't ... er ... blow? That's the first time I ever heard that, Rohi - cover your eyes!!! Edit: Oh, what a great vid! Thank you for that! This post has been edited by mALX: Aug 31 2015, 09:46 AM

Yeah, Iīd love to play it! Didn't he say that the "Lost Files" was a watered down easier version of it? I want the original one, not the watered down version, lol.

QUOTE(King Of Beasts @ Nov 27 2015, 09:14 PM) Any less known game suggestions from anyone for the NES?
Super Mario and Duck Hunt? I donīt know many less known gems so I donīt think I can help you much. Though I know Renee would recommend Faxanadu, an early RPG kind of game where I think you level up and such things. Personally I can recommend River City Ransom otherwise known as Street Gangs, if you want to kick and punch thugs while being one yourself It actually has an element of RPG too where depending on what food you eat you can level up different skills. You can also learn new moves from books. Look em up on youtube if you want to see how they are This post has been edited by mirocu: Nov 27 2015, 10:48 PM

QUOTE(mirocu @ Nov 26 2015, 03:12 AM) More from the Gaming Historian, this time about the Game Boy I had about six games in total when I was a kid and Iīve beaten them all. I spent so much time playing that I got really good at them, more so than I ever got on the NES actually. Still have all the games but unfortunately I canīt find the boxes and manuals I have a free weekend (finally) - so finally had time to sit down and watch this. I love his histories of the different games! He didn't go as in depth in this one as he did on the NES, but maybe there wasn't as much to say, lol. I got my son two gameboys (so his friends could play with him if they didn't have one) and every single attachment and extra available for them. He had a Gameboy pack (like a briefcase) that held all the gear in it for when he visited friend's houses, lol. He got the Gameboy Color and Gameboy Advance; the Gameboy GameCube Adapter so he could play his gameboy games on the Television; etc. I think for the longest time that was his favorite of all time; but when I got him the XBox 360 it eventually got where he didn't want to play it anymore, so he sold everything to the GameStop in order to buy 360 games.

QUOTE(mirocu @ Nov 28 2015, 03:15 PM) So nice of you to get him all that! Sad to learn he sold it all eventually, though. If he hasnīt regretted it yet I suspect there might come a time when he will... Never had any accessories for the Gameboy myself. I had the box it came in plus the games and that was it, but I was happy. Still remember when I got Kirbyīs Pinball Land on a Christmas morning (we always got one gift early), I played the heck out of it! I was afraid he would regret it too; but he sold them all in 2006 or so; and this is almost 2016 - so far he hasn't moaned about it, lol. I guess if he ever does, you can always still find them for sale at the GameStop, though maybe not in the same great condition his were in when he sold them. I regretted selling my NES and Sega Genesis systems, and moaned about it a LOT. One of my son's friends gave me his old broken NES system and Mario games for XMas right before Oblivion came out. You had to fix the NES before playing every time you played it, but then it would work. I played it to death until my son got me playing Oblivion, lol. I still miss the Sega every now and then, but I did get some of the games on my PC to play (Echo the Dolphin; Kid Chameleon; etc). It just isn't the same, somehow.

Sounds strange. What did you have to do in order to make it work before every session? Tonight I played some Pro Wrestling (as Star Man) and then Wild Gunman that utilizes the Zapper When I got beyond lvl 99 on Gunman it just started over at lvl 1 again, and the score isnīt properly displayed as it canīt show 1.000.000 and over. But I did get over 2 million points. Average time on bandit one was 0.25 seconds and on bandit two 0.37 seconds. Lost two lives though because I was goofing around with different shooting styles I love my NES
