- What is your favorite game on this system?
Zelda, Bionic Commando, Baseball Stars

- What are some of your other favorites?
SMB 3, Techmo Bowl (the first one), Darkwing Duck

- What games surprised you? Infuriated you?
Surprised me? Baseball Stars, as it revolutionized baseball games by having a league play setup and the possibility to create your own team (and fire your players), all features that are common in today's baseball games.
Infuriated me? I had a hard time playing SMB 2 and still does to this day. I'm rather skilled at the other Mario games, but when it comes to Super Mario Doki Doki Panic, forget it. I suck at it.

- Do you remember the first time you saw the system in action? What game was it? What was your reaction?

It probably was in spring/summer 1987, when my best friend and I went to Toys 'R Us (it wasn't close enough to go there by ourselves, so his dad drove us there). All I remember is that the console (and games) were in a display in the middle of an aisle. I suppose that the displayed game was probably SMB.

- Did you own the system "back in the day"? How about now?
I did not own it back then, but my best friend and neighbour Seb did, so I spent countless hours in 1988 and 1989 playing the console in his living room. After a decade and a half, I finally own not one but two NESs (thanks to SlyDC). One works so-and-so, the other is great even though I tightened the tray too much when I cleaned the console.

- How many games do you have for it?
I currently have about 10 games, but I haven't gotten all my must-haves yet (Baseball Stars still eludes me).

- Any stories surrounding the system that you can share with us?
Seb got the free subscription to Nintendo Power (I don't know whether he still has his issues). I remember watching Seb demonstrating minus world 1 in SMB (when he was telling me about it, I didn't believe him). And when playing Baseball Stars, Seb would get his fun from firing his pitcher, doing his best Fred Flinstone imitation ("Out, out, ouuuuuuut!!!!!").
