I bet that NES will work. It takes a lot to break those things. Best bet is to get one of the star bits for the consoles, open it up and give that thing a good cleaning. Also maybe swap out to a new 72 pin connector.

Well, the NES is already opened. It came out of the box in two pieces. The TV screen lights up, it just won't actually play the games when it is plugged in.

I haven't bought any new games lately, but I did trade in quite a few games to get some other games all for the Xbox 360

Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City
Red Dead Redemption
Midnight Club: Los Angeles
L.A. Noire
Saints Row
Saints Row 2

I also picked up an NES with Spiderman: Return of the Sinister Six

I will shortly be receiving another NES and SNES that someone is giving me because she is unsure if they work so I will be getting those and hopefully they work fine.

Well, most people that play games like Madden don't really consider themselves gamers, let alone collectors.

I play the Madden games and WWE games, but I am still a video game collector. I just enjoy playing a sports game every now and then.

I found this at a large garage sale. Bought it for $30. It came with the game Spider-Man: Return of the Sinister Six. Just thought I would share this artistic masterpiece.
