When I grew up,
I think the only video game I was ever given was the table top Coleco Galaga
game. In High School however, I bought my own. First was the Commodore
VIC 20, then the Commodore 64 (although these were actually computers),
and eventually I got an Atari 2600. As a time reference here, let me say
I graduated in the mid 80's. Over the following years I really only played
the NES a handful of times at other people's houses. But around 1992, while
I was in Texas going to Bible school, I noticed at a Pawn Shop they had
a Nintendo game called Deadly Towers. I went to Walmart and discovered
they were selling the NES 2, also known as a Top Loading NES (see pic above).
They made and sold this a short time at the end of the NES era, and after
the SNES was already out. It was pretty cheap, and I liked that. I didn't
have much money with going to Bible school and all. So I bought that NES
and started buying used games after that, slowly as I didn't have much
money. By the time I got married, I wasn't playing my NES much, and had
acquired about 80 games. I sold off about 25 of them or so. But a few years
later (Christmas 06) my wife decided she would let our kids play video
games. So I pulled it out, and started up my collection again. I sold off
a few more I didn't care for and started getting others, even a couple
I had gotten rid of and wish I hadn't, including my very 1st game, Deadly
Towers. I started using my internet search skills to find the good games
I had missed or not known about and started collecting them. Ebay and local
used game stores was my source for cheap games. Lately, I been financing
much of this by selling games that are worth much more than what I paid.
Some games I have bought which I didn't like, are valuable. I often bid
on many games but at low prices and lose often but when I do win, which
isn't often, I win cheap. I also been buying and selling other games from
other systems; GameBoy, SNES, N64, which systems we also own, which I will
discuss elsewhere. At the bottom of the page you will find some links,
and I have a separate page detailing my NES accessories.
I know most folks have no interest in reading
all the games I own, however, if you are looking for reviews, some of the
games below have links in them (or will have as I add more). By clicking
on the games that are clickable, it will lead you to a page where I will
review the game.
Below is my collection, by game types (some
games will inevitably fall into multiple categories, I put them in the
1 that I deemed most accurate) and I will not repeat a game unless I have
duplicates like Super Mario Bro's.
Cartridge Count: 80 - as of May
26, 07, this number like mentioned above does not count duplicates games,
unless a game is on more than 1 cartridge but with other games like Super
Mario Bro's, nor games I am trying to sell, I do not collect variants.
Most recent includes Rescue Rangers, North & South, & Road Runner.

My
Lord of the Rings Pages - now out-dated. While I still have over half
of my collection listed there, some of its been sold or given away. I have
lost interest. My disinterest began with the 3rd film. While I believe
the films are great, I was upset at the scene on the volcano where Frodo
used his ring against Gollum. That scene was in the book, but not in the
movie. It also was the reason why Frodo got his energy back to run the
rest of the way up. The movie made it look like Frodo just wanted to ride
on Sam's back cause he was lazy, because he fell off and then just ran
away!

still have some Nintendo stuff for sale and other cool stuff as well.)
WARNING:
The following links are probably not christian. Most are reasonably safe,
but some are on sites that may have vulgar language or vulgar advertisements,
but half of these links are just lists to manuals. Many gaming sites are
notorious for that kind of stuff (bad ads). Please be careful and be warned!
The
100 Best NES Games Ever - a comprehensive list and review of 100 games,
this was done by 6 individuals, this is not a statistic of actual popularity
PauldingNet
Sorter - A page with an interesting and useful tool. You enter a list
and it alphabetizes it. I used this for making my NES game list, as well
as other lists as well.
NES
Game Maps - A useful page, but it can't go in the manuals section
Warp
Zone's newer manual page - seems the manuals listed under # (such as
the game "8 Eyes") do not work, but I found the ones I looked at under
letters do.
Vimm's
Lair - a nice site, however it's programmed in such a way I cannot
give you the exact page for the manuals. On that page click on "The Manual
Project", then click on "Nintendo" or whatever other system you want to
find a manual in. Once there type in the name of the game, or click on
the 1st letter of the manual you want. You may get a list of all the manuals
starting with that letter. Then you click on the manual you are interested
in and then you will go to an interesting page where you have 3 options:
View Manual, Download vlm, or Download pdf. You will actually end up with
a scan of the actual manual rather than just the text of the manuals.
