NES stories

Lets sit around like old men and share our nostalgic old nes/famicom stories here.

Ahh, NES.. when I was really small, the kids we babysat tricked me into thinking that Mario couldn't see in the Dark World. They told me I had to close my eyes when I played or it didn't count.

Then when I got a little older, about 7-ish, I tried playing Zelda. Miserable failure ensued. Well, I was fine.. up until the fifth castle and those damn darknuts.

Ahh, what else? Gauntlet. For some reason, that game always got my NES to work when no other games would. I love the Gauntlet theme.

Then when I finally got old enough to truly appreciate my NES, it was nearly impossible to get it to work. I ended up balancing it on its side, sticking pencils in it to make the cartridge sit just so, and other strange things. Last year it died on me completely. Rest in peace!
