Starting the year off by organizing my NES collection

Left side of the case is for multiplayer games. Got spots reserved for Bomberman II and RC Pro-Am 2, which I plan on picking up this year.

Who still has all their childhood systems and games?

Sadly almost my entire NES collection disappeared after I was estranged from my mother and step dad but I did get my Genesis games back. However I remember every game I owned and sometimes I'll make little sub collections in emulators that represent the games I owned, just for the nostalgia of looking at the box art.

There are the games I owned (in random order):

Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt Super Mario Bros. 2 Dr. Mario The Adventures of Bayou Billy Dragon Warrior Wheel of Fortune Karnov Double Dragon II The Legend of Zelda Zelda II Adventure of Link Contra Punch Out!! Section Z Gradius TMNT Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Castlevania II Batman Rad Racer

console mods

i'm looking to get my nes nes-001 mudded in the next month or 2

the mods I want are better video output so the resolution of games is better, better audio than mono and something that makes the console read games better. all the mods for reading games better seem sold out.

What would I be paying and what is the best service/person to do this for me?

Look at him. Still begging. MM3 was so much harder than the first to. I loved it!

On to Mega Man 4, next.

Dick tracy

Hi. I have strange question. Seen some gameplay of dick tracy game and realised some roofs have flickering. These roofs are made from black, grey pixels. I used to play this game back in the days and I can't remember this flickering. Is it always been?

The collection

Had to make some room for some new additions coming this week so I decided to snap a new photo. 147 games. It's been quite a 2 and a half years of building. A lot of fun

What Level Gave You The Most Trouble on Super Mario Brothers 2?

SMB 2 was the first game I ever beat as a kid. It was some time in 1992 so I was either 6 or 7 years old at the time. I'm not certain where I had the most trouble back then I know it took me awhile after getting it for Christmas in 1991.

Flashforward to today I'm playing the Gameboy Advance version via a Rasberry Pi emulator machine called Super Pretendo and for the life of me I've hit a wall on level 3-3.

What level gave you the most trouble be it your first time playing or in general?

NES 2d adventure game (with a lot of platforming or not_

For some context, I am making a 2d adventure game and I want to study some level designs. I am making a game that isn't too focused on platforming as the main thing. I was wondering if there were other games that were similar but had fun level design.

Rather a game has a lot of platforming or not, you can name it here (though would like to see some that don't have as much but still is fun)

Edit: forgot to mention but my 2d game will be side scroller.

Two new Christmas gifts for my collection 😊

(There’s Castlevania in the NES or in the acryllic)

Ice Climbers is the first two player I have, so it’s gonna be fun to play it with my gf now that she’s gotten me two games from my list.

Games like Zelda 1 & Star Tropics

I've often heard people describe StarTropics as kind of a 'modernized' version of Zelda. Very similar gameplay but with better graphics etc.

So I'm sitting here thinking, I've loved Zelda and StarTropics both for 34 and 39 years each soooooo it just occurred to me, are there any OTHER games that use this same type of gameplay? I bet I'd like that game too, if it exists!

I've checked out Zelda 2 a bunch of times and I just can't get in to it. Its like a totally different game and I'm really not a fan of it.

My Four Signed Mega Man Games

https://preview.redd.it/5plpobw98rae1.jpg?width=3264&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7fc422ecac98d45575fa5a6778eea5cdceba9fde

I met Keiji Inafune way back at 2 different Pax Primes around when he was announcing Mighty number 9. He had a policy of one autograph per person so even though I had my full set with me each time I only had my wife with me so I could only get 2 signatures.

The first time I had my wife have him sign his favorite (2) and I got him to sign my first (3), The next time I had her get him to sign 1, and I got him to sign my favorite (4)
5 and 6 Not pictured, are unsigned.

Also of note, These 4 games (CI, CIB, CIB, CIB thanks to me buying a lot of the 6 megaman instruction manuals many years after getting them C CB CB CB) All come from the collection of Monarch Video in Vernon BC Canada so if someone happens to live in Vernon here and rented games from Monarch as a kid you may have rented what is now my Mega man game.

I got them Circa 2002 when they were actually still for rent but they allowed me to buy them for $8.99 (CAD) each.
My 5 and 6 Cost me $10, and $5 From a classmate at school and from Shuswap Pawn in Salmon Arm BC respectively.
