Ah! thanks Joe !

Talk about a subject that i like and i know :-)

- What is your favorite game on this system?

Contra and Tecmo Super Bowl both tied.

- What are some of your other favorites?

SMB 1-2-3, RC PRO-AM Baseball Star, Double Dragon, Side Pocket,
Kid Icarus, Arkanoid, Track & Field 2, Gold Medal Challenge,
Rad Racer, Tetris (Nintend and Tengen), Faxanadu,
Super Spike V'Ball, Metroid, TMNT 1-2, Castlevania 1-2-3,
Operation Wolf, Micro Machine, Metal Gear, Snake's Revenge,
Gun-Nac, Kung Fu, Zelda 1-2, RBI Baseball, Mike Tyson Puchn-Out
The Megaman serie, Kirby, Lolo.

All the classic "port", Donkey Kong, Pacman, Burgertime, they are
well done and great on the NES.

You see, apart Zelda, i never ever like the RPG stuff, Final Fantasy,
Dragon Warrior, no...that's not my kind of game even today, i need
action when i play videogames.

- What games surprised you?

RC Pro-Am: slow at star, getting really hard on the higher level (over 32).
Gun-Nac: a surprizing good little shooter.
Balloon Fight: great two players game.
Space Shuttle Project: when you know how to control the shuttle
it's a good game.
Lone Ranger: good adventure game
Rescue Embassy Mission: everybody know about CounterStrike these day but how about this little gem ?

Infuriated you?


Damn you Battletoads, Ghostbusters, Back to the Future !!!

- Do you remember the first time you saw the system in

action? What game was it? What was your reaction?

In a Canadian Tire, it was show with SMB, i was
looking the first level demo i was like "wow, the
graphic are unbeliveable, this will beat Atari"

- Did you own the system "back in the day"? How about

now?

Yes i own the system "back in the day" in 1987 and still today.

My parent buy the "Control Deck" set at the Canadian Tire for 157,77 CA$ (the tag price still on the box today). The first game i bought
with my own money was Zelda 2 and RBI Baseball. After 1990, i
rarely play with my NES, the SNES was taking all the place.
Around 1999 i started collecting games and NES goodies, so
my videogames collection is 95% NES and 5% everything else.

- How many games do you have for it?

Near 200, but i'm a completist so i always look for complete
or at least games with there box. So i'm slow to get the
"high" number (like 500-600 games) but i like to have the
game with there box, it's make a good display in a bookshelf.

I have the Control Deck Set (SMB1), Action Set (Grey, Orange Zapper), Action Set (SMB3) and Deluxe Set (ROB), all boxed and complete.

Dozen of joysticks, 2 ROB, Power Glove etc...

Right now, the rarest game i have is Menace Beach, on the
accessories side, the Hot Seat Game Chair and the Nintendo Service
Center Joystick Test Box.

- Any stories surrounding the system that you can share

with us?

Beating SMB1 for the first time on a 13 inches B&W Curtis TV,
i was playing that game for months and i always died
in the world 7-1. When i finally pass under Bowser in the last castle,
it was a big accomplisment for me.

Start a game the morning, pause the game for the entire day, going to school and continue at night. I think everybody here did that.

Beat Zelda 2 with every level at there maximum.

At Phillyclassics 2, seen Joe with 1 of the 3 Panesian game
in his hand i was like "good lord..." it was the first i saw a Panesian game !
