True story.
Do games have cheat codes NOW? If so, why would they need them? Modern games are fricken' push-overs compared to back in the day.
that new sega player better let me shoot the dog

Looking to sell Valkyrie Profile for the Playstation. PM me if you're interested.
Tell me you can write this into a full blown story for the lore forum -- could be worth a read.
And by the way...I can't believe this thread is still alive.
OSG's Toll Free number in action.
Me: OSG, Steve speaking!
Caller: um hi, is this OSG?
Me: Yes it is! How can I help you?
Caller: yeah, do you fix games?
Me: Yes we do, we fix game consoles, and occasionally fix game cartridge software.
Caller: Do you fix Nintendo?
Me: (short pause) uh..Yes.
Caller: Mine is broken. How much to fix it?
Me: What type of Nintendo is it?
Caller: I don't know. What do you usually charge?
Me: I don't know either. What kind of games does it play? I need to know which of the more than eight Nintendo manufactured consoles it is before I can give you more specific information.
Caller: It plays Nintendo games.
Me, OK, great. Are these games on discs, or on cartridges?
Caller: It plays tapes.
Me: O---kay..... What colour are these tapes?
Caller- mostly grey I guess.
Me: And what happens when you put a game in and you try to play it?
Caller: The red light flashes
Me: /relieved sigh Oh! Well then! You likely have an original Nintendo Entertainment System there, and we service those....
This does happen.

Have you guys heard about Bio Force Ape? I heard its coming out real soon, I can't wait to get it!
no one made it because it wasn't funny and doesn't actually pertain to "old nintendo".
Actually it was funny and I got it. Nintendo was a card company before video games were ever invented. So I'd say it wholeheartedly pertains to "old nintendo". Don't fall getting off your high horse

I had a screenshot from a Japanese show from the 70s that had a nice closeup of an ace of spades with the Nintendo branding on it.
I have their hanafuna cards. The fact remains, "old nintendo" pertains to the NES. especially considering they still make hanafuna.Actually it was funny and I got it. Nintendo was a card company before video games were ever invented. So I'd say it wholeheartedly pertains to "old nintendo". Don't fall getting off your high horse
I disagree. The rectangular controllers are simply brilliant. But meh at the advantage.
I hear the DVDs for the original Nintendo were gray rectangles that were half an inch thick and didn't even spin at all!
That so true. They can't possibly work after all these years, it's so impossible. Is that the one with those un-ergonomic controllers? Too many buttons on it in my opinion ~ Why would I want to run AND jump at the same time? That's just crazy talk
