Happy New Year! I decided to start off the new year with a big adventure video/experiment. I have followed the Zelda series since the beginning and have a great appreciation for the franchise. My buddy who is around the same age surprisingly has never played any of the games in the series so I decided to record his initial reaction/playthrough of the game. In doing so I noticed that as we progressed and he pointed out things that I remember being charming about the game he in fact found them to be a nuisance and explained why. After assisting him to complete the game I started rethinking my opinion on it. At first I defended the game without any question but after a while some aspects of the game took their toll on me as well and I started to realize that my memories of the game in my youth definitely gave me quite the bias that a neutral gamer of today would not have. I am not saying the original The Legend of Zelda is a bad game by far and it is a masterpiece for it's time but unfortunately I am starting to see the age of the game and the magic dissappear that I felt it once had. What do you guys think about the first Zelda today? Have you introduced it to a person that has never played it? If so what reactions did you experience?

Hi, New to the community, just joined. I setup my first 7800 and ordered bunch of games from eBay. I am in my mid 40's and 2600 was my first console (other than a pong clone). I have so many childhood memories with that machine. Recently I had this itch to revive those fun days. Emulators weren't cutting it, so I started looking for a 2600. While I am at it, why not get the 7800, since I learned it was backwards compatible. I am already working on some custom labels for some of the duplicate games with damaged labels. Why the hell not. Here are 2 pics showing the 7800, and the connection hack for a modern TV. Surprisingly the picture on TV is pretty clear without interference unless I touch the adapter.
