I have some of them. I know I got Mike Tysons Punch which was made in 1987. I probably got more around the house but I would have to look for them. I know some NES games are collectors items now. I've seen Contra and Castlevania for sell for around $40 on a web site. Also Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 the Arcade Game was selling for a high price as well(I can't remember how much)which I think I have in my house some where.

I have quite a small collection of games, I've had them for as long as I can remember... I have some of the classics like Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt, Contra, Kirby's Adventure, Legend of Zelda, Mike Tyson's Punch Out, and Tetris. And my NES still works, I just can't get to it at this moment...

That's too bad, my original one quit working years ago, I mean over 10 years ago, and I got one of those "new" NES systems, there's a link to a pic of what it looks like below.... http://www.slipperybrick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/nintendoentertainmentsystem2.jpg

I've into NES rage a couple of months ago-nostalgy... I must confess that I use emulators,though-makes no sense to pay that much for an old game. My mother gave away my NES and games when I grew up,so I doubt there is anything left. But in this age of technology one can get anything without having to pay. Of course,the feeling is not the same but if you work hard enough you can connect a controller to a PC and the PC to TV... And there you go!.. By the way,do you still play your old games?

I've got a mame emulator with arcade games on it that i play every once in a while but not an nes emulator. My old NES console doesn't work anymore and although some of them would still be fun i've moved on the the current games.

I've started a discussion about MK vs DC Comics-the newest Mortal Kombat game. And while I had my doubts based on generally bad reviews,Teen rating and untruthfulness to MK standards,a trio to Gamestop cured me forever lol The most childish MK game is $ 70! I would never buy that! I use RockNES on my computer. Works fine,took me a while to learn to save lol

I have 2 old NES game systems in my house, and still use them now and then. I have about 15 games, including tetris, mario 1, mario 2, mario 3, dr mario, dragon warrior, etc. My FAVOURITE part of my NES, is that I have a "Game Genie" for it now. WOOT!!! I wouldn't sell the systems. They're far too much fun, and nostalgia from my youth. :)

i understand the nostalgia part. i had all 3 mario games a one time as well as the game genie. it was very cool to beat games with a game genie i had a difficult time beating as well as seeing what transpired in the game.

Yeah, I have about 90 games for it. One of the rarest games I'd like to have is Little Samson. I once saw that game on ebay for $300 or so for a complete copy. I'd never spend that much on a game. Hopefully, it'll get released on the Wii's Virtual Console.

I have mine and all the games, we actually used to hook it up and play it every now and then - it still works (sometimes)! Now that you can download classic games on the Wii virtual console we've been playing lots of those. We actually just downloaded Super Mario Bros 3 on Saturday and we all had a blast remembering all the little tricks and short cuts.

if you seen those games for that price then you should turn away unless there sealed. You can find contra for low as 12$ online. i sell many video games on ebay well use too. but i sold many of those titles for less then 10$ just gotta do some browsing. ebay is good just be careful.
