Has been quite some time since the classic, average Nintendo NES appeared on Retro Treasures, and that's one of the reasons I simply had to link to this NES & games & Zapper auction. Seller ships only within the US, and has packed the working console you see above with a Zapper light-gun, two controllers, all necessary bits and bolts, and 11 games including Mario Bros 3, Metroid, The Legend of Zelda and Tetris.

Great set of games in that auction - mostly early titles (and Zelda II for completeness), but then a later-day bright orange zapper. Go figure!
ReplyDeleteAs a lad, I started my NES relationship with the massive and awesome deluxe set complete with Rob the Robot and the original zapper, but found that the orange 'safety' version sort of grew on me and have picked one up in more recent times.
As for me dear Charlie, never owned a NES, though I did enjoy most of them 11 classic games included. Oh, and have only played using the orange Zapper. Worked fine, mind.
ReplyDeleteOne might even guess that the orange Zapper would work better, being that it was a later release - time to work out the bugs and whatnot.
ReplyDeleteI have to believe that somewhere, on this Internet, a side-by-side test has been conducted between them!
After all, anything can be found online, can it not? Then again, just had a search and nothing came up...
ReplyDeleteWow, it looks like that person did not buy a NES game past 1989 hahahaha! Those are some pretty wicked titles though and if I remember correctly, that Golf game was fantastic!
ReplyDeleteYou might just be right on the date thing NES Online...
