So I managed to find an NES, with all the cords, 2 controllers, and a copy of Super Mario Bros. 3 stowing away inside of it all for $20 last week. I had some problems with the blinking power light, so I replaced the 72 pin connector and it works like new now. First goal: beat Bionic Commando. Also Dr. Mario, Zelda 1 and 2 and Balloon Fight are in the mail.
It's gonna be a good week.
