Hello everybody! First off I want to thank the webmaster for making this truly wonderful site! I didn't see an introduction section, so I thought I would just take some time to say hello this way.

Well, let me start off by saying that I grew up playing the NES as a kid. I've been gaming for well over 20 years now. My favorite console is obviously the NES Deluxe Set with R.O.B. I'm very proud to say that I actually own a  NES Deluxe Set in nearly new condition, complete with everything it originally came with, including the plastic it was wrapped in, super rare Duck Hunt and Gyromite games in boxes, manuals, posters, Nintendo's Official seal of approval card and everything!

My favorite game franchise is without a doubt The Legend of Zelda. I own an authentic, original, factory sealed, brand new, never opened, The Legend of Zelda game for NES! It has the horizontal line on the back in the plastic seal and even has the original plastic hanger! It's exactly the same as if you went in the stores in 1987 and bought it.

I can remember opening up the very first Legend of Zelda for NES in 1987 for Christmas as a kid and seeing the gold cartridge for the very first time. I've been hooked on Zelda games ever since!

One things for certain, I love classic Nintendo and Zelda! I've written several reviews for the Legend of Zelda game series and even an actual article on the history of NES. I'm a hardcore, old-school, gamer, from back in the day who's all about the classics!

Hi, Its nice to have you here. How many nes games do you have in your collection?

Thanks! :) I only have what's listed above plus Zelda II The Adventure of Link, Mint and complete in box.

Now, when I was a kid I had tons of games and an NES Action Set. Regretfully I sold off my childhood collection to a company called FUNCO Inc. when I was in high school. I so wish I hadn't, because everything I owned was like new. I always took such good care of my stuff. :'(

I don't play my current collection as it's priceless and for display only. I do play all the NES games in another fashion, however! I'm sure ya know what I'm talking about. ;)

Do you plan to start collecting?

More than likely, I would love to. I'm just so proud and thankful for what I do own right now. I have the holy grails of NES in my posession. with an exception to  1990 Nintendo World Championship Cartridge and the rare stuff like that. From a sentimental stand point I own the most valued treasures though. ;)

Welcome!!  :D

Yeah, welcome to the boards. A lot of interesting stuff gets discussed so you'll have fun!

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! I love NES and this place! :) I'm getting ready to replace my Zelda II Mint and complete in box with a brand new factory sealed one! I'm so excited! ;D I also forgot to mention that I have The Official Nintendo Players Guide, an original Super Mario Bros 2 and Zelda II t-shirts, Original Nintendo Power pin they sent to subscribers, a Zelda pin, and an old Mario figurine. All bought at Woolworth's, Nintendo World they had set up in the back of the store when I was a kid! 8-)
