Glad I'm not the only one.

To the topic tho, I'm right there with you. The NES is the video game platform that all others should be compared to.

 

[YankeeVol]

Maybe for $50.

All you're getting is a controller.

 

[bamacheats]

I'd buy it. Give me Metal Gear, Zelda, Blaster Master, and Mega Man and I'm set.

Gimmie a snes version and we can talk.

This.

As much as I love the NES, if I could only play one system for the rest of my life with all its games, it would be the SNES.

The NES is one of the reasons my grades sucked my first year of college. Epic Super Techmo bowl battles were waged.

You can make this in your garage with like $50.

You would spend at least that on an old NES with working guts. This beast has Famicon (the Japanese NES) as well. The aluminium casing is the nicest touch though.

It's a complete waste of money but would be a cool toy for anyone that grew up in the late 80's.

Loved the Raiders in that game. And the Giants defense.

If I had $500 and time to blow, I would purchase VolNation

Bo Jackson was a beast.

It was fun to be LT on defense and sack the QB. If you timed it just right you could do it before he was even able to drop back.

I wouldn't pay $3.50
