I still have 17 games i bought back then, all cart only. The prices were steep so i used to rent them and swap with friends.

I think I had 30-50 from my chldhood.  I never got rid of any gaming goodness, a friend borrowed one and never gave it back, thyat is okay because I always borrowed games when I loaned games out.

He got SMB 3 and I got his Doctor Mario, depending on taste it is a neutral or slightly bad "unnofficial trade" but I didn't lose anything since I played out SMB 3 at that time period.

I think I got it for my b-day in 1990 or 1991, whichever year it came out.

My parents were awesome, they bought me a lot of stuff.

I actually didn't own a NES until I was 14 or so. My original "collection" from those days was around 20 carts, by this time a lot of NES games were half price so it was possible to pick up games quite often Smiley

I still kick myself for not picking up a brand new Tetris 2 (SCN) for $15 back then.

Actually I started collecting the minute I got my NES desk, so every boxed game I have owned is still CIB. Everything with a Nintendo logo was saved, be it candy bags (seriously), phamplets and so on.. Yeah I've been a nut for quite some time now heh

Well I have 28 of the original 35 or 36 games that I had from when my father had purchased them for me when my older brother and I were younger.  I believe my dad stopped buying us NES games in 1990.

All the 28 games I have have the original booklet with exception of Mike Tyson's Punchout  and Blaster Master which I have had  some trouble tracking them down.  Most of the games are in great cosmetic and working shape since my dad always bought us the hard plastic protective cases for the games.  Thats why I do not have boxes (he threw them out).  This is also why for my NES collection I just collect games and booklets, it makes them apart of my original collection.

I did ask my dad recently how he determined what games he bought us when we were younger and his response was he bought what looked fun.  I remember the last game I got for christmas in 90' was Rad Racer II.  My brother and I always got at least 1 games each and 1 game to share for christmas.  Birthdays we each got a game on each others birthday.  Amazingly I remember my 5th birthday in 1987 I got Original Mario Bros. and my older brother got Mike Tyson's Punchout.  It took us hours to get past Glass Joe that night.

These are the games I had as a kid and I still have all of them except for Kirby which was lent to my best friend and I never got it back.  But I did replace it.

-Mario 1/Duckhunt (came w/system)
-Donkey Kong Classics (received at the same time I got my NES for Christmas)
-Mario 2
-Mario 3
-Kirby
-Home Alone
-Ms. Pacman
-Hoops
-Star Tropics
-Star Tropics 2
-Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout
-Trog
-Little Nemo Dream Master
-Lolo 3 (this game is frustrating as hell)
-Wheel of Fortune

I think that's all of them.  I still have all their instruction manuals and their boxes.

haha, I've wondered this too.  I got my NES at a charity garage sale bundled with SMB.  My family didn't have much as a kid, but I did get the following:

SMB3
Zelda II
Cobra Triangle
TMNT
Star Trek Next Generation

I used to play SMB3 with my mom for hours.  We actually beat it one day too!  Pretty good accomplishment for a kid and a lady  Cheesy
