Be cool to see a rom of number 8.

It's out there, in most ROM sets. Pretty fun, but Holy Diver isn't the easiest of games.

So the NES is not swamped with awful games? Of course it is.

 

 

Console in a TV, well Nintendo wasn't it, Atari VCS/Sanyo 1983

Simon's Quest is not the first game with multiple endings. Metroid has multiple endings.

Or Zelda as it preceded Metroid by a few months. Kind of cheap as its only a wording difference but a whole new quest was pretty sweet.

Not even Atari/Sanyo was first. I also guess that neither Magnavox is, but they had the model 4305 in 1976 that had pong build in.

NES tends to get extra credits mainly from nes fans not knowing any better... Or bothering to look anything up

But, that's not to say that the NES isn't a great system. The NES/FC is one of my favorites. When I had to shrink the collection, keeping it was never in question. Sure, it's got its share of bum titles (all systems do), but it's got some really good ones too.

 

The NES wasn't first for plenty of things,, but I feel it did most of it fairly well.

The NES works with AC and DC power supply 9 volt input? Is that right?

 

How does that work?

[Osgeld]

There's a bridge rectifier inside the system to convert AC to DC

 

Side effect of that is you can put DC on a bridge rectifier in any polarity and it comes out right on the other side
