Original Nintendo Games Rentals/Buy
 

I am looking to see if anyone in here that has experience in buying the original nintendo games and the system. A few questions for those who live in the KC Metro area.

What store(s) would be the best bet for me to find the original Nintendo system, remote controls, and the games? I tried to google it, but either there aren't very many of them, or I'm not doing a good job at it (this one most likely is the case) and I could use some guidance, please.

Also, for those who actually own the system, would the current components work okay for a HDTV (Samsung 50" flat screen) or is there anything special that I need to buy?

I'd appreciate the help.

Vintage Stock.

The system will work except the Zapper.

I doubt you will find much original Nintendo stuff outside of flea market/antique shops.

You will likely have to buy online.

IIRC the original Nintendo used RCA cables to connect, so your tv would need those.

You can download a Nintendo emulator and roms for free.

No, RF modulators.

pawn shops.

Dumbasses.

Vintage Stock! Also, spend the extra $$ for a "top loader." They won't have near as many problems as the original front loading NES.

There is a Vintage Stock nearby me, and I looked at their website, but that was no help to me as to letting me know what they have in stock and what not. I might end up checking that place out tomorrow after I get off of work.

Yea, best bet is to call them or stop by. I know they carry original NES's at the Topeka VS.

And some games as well? I'm hoping to find one that has the NES game with the top loader (your suggestion, plus I had bad experiences in the past with the "boxxy" shaped one) with the Mario Brothers games (1,2, and 3). Hoping they'd also have the Duck Hunt one as well....

did later versions use RCA?

Yea they have a shit ton of NES games.

Duck Hunt won't work on a flat panel TV though, sorry.

Buy one off of craigslist... and get a new 72-pin connecter on ebay for $8, and repair it... it will be like new.

Vintage Stock is THE best place to go for original NES games. I buy tons from them. They're dirt cheap too.

Coach: Download NES games and an emulator. Attach a PC to your TV. Play.

I'll sell you mine for eventy-billion dollars. I have original nintendo, 2 controllers, duckhunt gun, and several games.

I remember when I was a kid, I always had a gameboy but never a system...then my parents friend gave me their old original nintendo with literally over like 300 games. I used to play the hell out of that until I got a PS1 and never touched it again though I do miss the old classics, I always felt like I enjoyed Sega Genesis more and Super Nintendo.

Not the same. :(

I'm dead serious - it flat out won't work. The Zapper uses a beam of light that won't reflect off a flat panel television.

is gameco still around?

also there's a place in lawrence that still sells original NES games.

you could also get one of these http://www.retrousb.com/product_info.php?products_id=34

This x10.

No blowing on some cartridge to get it to work. They automatically save your game for you.

You are correct.

1.) eBay
or
2.) emulator

WTF?!


I have never seen a setup like the NES on the left.

It isn't.


It's much better.

it looks like it was personally modded

Yeah, you can save, pause, and play with enhanced graphics

Nerds.


Gotta love em'.

It's obviously modded.

The original RF output is on the bottom left.

Yeah Vintage Stocks by me have piles and piles of old NES games. You have to go in to see what they got unless you're looking for something specific. I bought a lot of good ol NES games off Amazon a couple years ago. Got some good prices.

The games are exactly the same. You can buy a USB game controller.

Emulators are technically the same exact thing, except of course you get all the games for free and can play them on your computer and even use save states if you must, but there's something different about hooking the old system up and playing with the original console and controllers and carts.

Vintage stock has tons of systems and games.

You could also check Ebay.
