NES power supply question

[NES power supply question]

Hi All, I have recently picked up a couple NES consoles at thrifts and both are missing the power supply, anyone know where I can pick up a replacement or if one of the universal power supplies sold at Wal Mart or Radio Shack would work? I currently have four NES consoles and only one power supply so any info appreciated

[Kabooooom!]

Congrats on the score!! I have owned Kaboom since the early eighties but my vader didnt come with paddles so it sat there with Super Breakout until I bought a set in the nineties and it quickly became my fav game and is still one of my top five most played today, dont think I will ever see a score like that though.

[Wolfenstein 2600]

Can't wait to buy this cartridge when it comes out especially after reading Stanjr's description of it on his awards page, you say it will be for sale at Packrat instead of AA? I have never bought from Packrat before but I certainly will when Wolfenstein goes on sale, is Packrat as fast and accurate with your order as AA? If so I shall try to find their website and see what their selection of games is like.

[2600 vs. NES vs other hobbies ???]

I dont believe the NES nostalgia has really kicked in around here yet cuz the cheapest I have saw a working 2600 was $35 and in the past month I have bought four NES consoles for under five bucks each, got one this afternoon for $1 after haggling the girl down from $2! However I dont expect prices like this to last forever

[2600 vs. NES vs other hobbies ???]

NES dwarf the 2600 scene? Geez I hope not, I do love to play the NES but the Atari is definately the daddy of all consoles.

[Power Joy question]

Yeah that makes sense I noticed after fooling around with it that "Space ET" is Space Invaders, most of the games are strange lookin stuff I never saw before so it must just be games not released in the US

[Power Joy question]

Hi All, I picked up a handheld called the "Power Joy" at a thrift today and I assume it is a Famiclone however when I hooked it up and plugged the cart in the bottom I found it doesnt have NES titles like Mario but odd looking games called "Kittie" "Front Line" etc. plus several versions of Dig Dug and Galaga which is spelled wrong. Question is what are these strange games it contains, are they Japanese Famicom games or just something the Bootleggers made up? Any info appreciated.

[Greetings from the newly addicted!!! My 2600 just arrived..]

Welcome back to the Age of Atari!! One warning though if you are like most of us it will get totally outta control, I did a quick count tonite after playing Chopper Command and I now have 52 more cartridges than I did in '83 when will it end? Who cares! only 1100 or so to go and I will have em all!

[Red screen NES?]

[Atlantis question]

Thanks cpuwiz I didnt realize the question had been addressed before but that is close enough to an answer for me. Appreciate it.

[Atlantis question]

Hello All, I recently picked up the PSone game Activision Classics and to my surprise it has Atlantis on it, I know Atlantis was an Imagic game so my question is why is it on a disc by Activision? Probably a simple answer but I am missing it.

[Which 2600 game..]

I have never played Pitfall 2 though I would like to own it, it just seems to be a hard one to find in my neck of the woods but I have faith I will run up on it sooner or later.

[Which 2600 game..]

.. do you think was the best one released around the time of the great crash? I lean toward Robot Tank if in fact it would be considered a crash era game. What do you think?

[Game Genie NES question]

I heard where attaching a game genie to NES games would make the console work more reliably so I bought a Game Genie and that seems to be the case, question is I would like to put the Genie inside the NES permanantly and was wondering if it would work to cut the plastic grip/pull piece off of the Genie and just stick it inside the machine or does the plastic pull piece have something to do with why or how the Genie works, any info appreciated

[HSC Season 2 Week 2: Beamrider]

Wait!! I just bought Beamrider this weekend, I havent had time to practice! Its a conspiracy I tell you.

[Who still has the first systems they bought new?]

Yip, got my Vader 2600 for my birthday in Sept. of 82 and it still works as good as the day I tore the box open, lost my original NES but still have my SNES, Genesis PSone and PStwo

[Frogger 2 at a bargain]

Its been a good week for me so far, saturday I got Beamrider at a flea mkt for two bucks and this morning I picked up Frogger 2 at a pawn shop for one dollar, PLEASE LET THIS CONTINUE!!

[Beamrider]

and its good news for you Stan! Beamrider has distracted me from Climber 5 giving you time to roll the score counter and win my Title Belt! Go for it before I regain my senses.

[Red screen NES?]

Yeah, works like a charm, it didnt come with controllers or a power supply but I saved those when I chunked my NES yesterday morning so I am set up and OK as far as the NES goes.... but still a liar though, I should have asked the lady to give it to me for free

[Red screen NES?]

Well I have made myself into a bald faced liar! I said I would never pay for another NES yet yesterday I bought one at a thrift for three bucks I couldnt resist it at that price especially with mine on the blink, hope you folks dont make me wear an "L" on my chest or change my name to "bigliar".

[Beamrider]

Picked up Activisions Beamrider at a flea mkt yesterday for two bucks and talk about an outstanding game! Dont know how but I never heard of this one when I was a kid and didnt know anyone who owned it but after playing it for an hour or so I dont know why it wasnt one of the most popular games out there, excellent graphics and the gameplay is fast and furious, if ya dont have this one buy it!

[Were there any changes to the NES console?]

Other than the change to the top loader in 93 were there any other changes to the NES cosmetic or otherwise? Didnt know if there were any ways to date one or not, any info appreciated.

[Red screen NES?]

Thanks for the tips, I tried em and the POS still doesnt work for more than five minutes at a time, it is going in the dumpster come the morrow, I shall never pay for a front loading NES again, I will pay up to ten dollars for a top loader if in perfect shape or will accept working front loaders if they are free LONG LIVE THE VCS!!!!

[Red screen NES?]

I am almost ready to slam the fargin icehole against the wall, Atari VCS works everytime, PStwo works everytime SNES works everytime even the friggin Sega works everytime, I love the NES games but the machines must have been designed by a moron.

[Red screen NES?]

I have heard of the blinking blue screen of death effect of the NES but has anyone saw one that blinks red? That is what mine does nine time out of ten when I hit the power just a red blinking screen, any ideas what causes this or how it could be fixed? Oh yeah it does eventually work after a good beating/cursing.
