I picked up three games for the SNES from a student today: Mortal Kombat II, NBA Jam Tournament Edition, and Clayfighter.

Thumbs up for all three.

Grab a Nintendo wii. You can download and play tons of original Nintendo games. Or just click here, and thank me later

Nintendo8.com is good, but retrouprising.com is better. Every game, every console.

I'm up to 61 games for the NES and 23 games for the SNES. Anyone else still playing the classics?

Yes I am Andy. My NES and SNES are hooked up. Recently hooked my 64 up for a bit. Played Golden Eye and Wave Race for a bit a few weeks back.

I would have to count up all my old games but I got enough to keepe busy.

I enjoy a lot of retro gaming. I have an Atari 2600, Atari 7800, NES, and some of the other pre-playstation era gaming systems. I've been collecting the old games over the years and get a lot of enjoyment out of playing them. This is a cool thread!

Still got a 2600 too. Need to hook it up again, love to play done Empire Strikes Back again.

I just moved the NES from my parents house to mine. Haven't had a chance to hook it up this week. I just bought Blaster Master and can't wait to try it out again.

I have the 64 hooked up in the boys room but rarely play it.

I've been on the lookout for a 7800 for a while. I want one so I can play both 7800 and 2600 games on one system. I'm not paying E-Bay prices for one though. How do you like the 7800?

If you look around on Craigslist you might be able to find one for a reasonable price. Just make sure that it comes with the power adapter, because those are very difficult to find. I generally just have my 7800 plugged in, and use it to play the 2600 games too.

I do enjoy the 7800 - I think 2600 games look a little better on it and there are just enough cool 7800 games out there to justify owning one.

I have been collecting retro gaming stuff for a while now and have seen a crazy spike in prices recently. I am fortunate to live in Portland because every year we have the "Portland Retro Gaming Expo" and that is a good place to buy games/systems because you can haggle a bit.

I've been playing Final Fantasy 8 recently. Awesome game. Probably gonna play Seventh Saga and Earthbound from SNES next. The first NES Dragon Warrior games are also on my playlist.

I'd love to get to the Portland RGE some day. All the Youtube channel guys go to that convention. The Game Chasers and Pat the NES Punk especially.

I'm not sure what your guys stance is on emulators, but grab M.A.M.E. and you can play everything your heart desires. Over the years i've compiled quite a collection of roms and even built myself a couple of arcade machines running my favorite games.
