We rented it for the very first time back in 1986, It came with Mario and Duck Hunt. I had played Duck Hunt before at the arcades, so we played that first. Then we switched to SMB, and it became one of the greatest games i had ever played...
- Did you own the system "back in the day"? How about now?
Yes, got it for X-Mas back in 1987 with Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, Excitebike, Hogan's Alley, and something else I can't quite remember.
Yes, I own one today.

Today, around 200 games. I did have 436 at one time, but sold them over the years.
- Any stories surrounding the system that you can share with us?
1. I remember finding and buying an Action 52 at a rental store for $7, back in 1995. (We soon got rid of it, I always remembered my dad saying he wanted $2 per game, but the place gave him $9.![]()
2. Our family had a chance to buy a multicart back in 1990 or 91, but we decided against it (Plus they wanted $200!)
3. Buying a brand new Dragon Warrior 3 at Wal-Mart for $25, then trading my old one in for about the same price.
4. We sold our first NES back in 1991 along with the 16 games we had for $200, so I could get an SNES the first day it came out. Soon, we traded that in and got an NES back.
5. Getting a Top Loading NES back in 1993, and the TV made those stupid lines, so we took it back...
