Personally, I've got 3 NES systems and about 160 games, all legit.

I had two NES systems, a Game Genie, and over 200 cartridges. However since the consoles stopped working... I found less desire to keep all of it, as I'm not electrically inclined to keep it up-and-running. I think the collection of obsolete hardware is admirable, but (un)fortunately not for me. :)[/url]

I feel pathetic compared to you. I had like 20-25 games, all legal games, and one console. On the SNES side I had 15 games and one console, all legal.

I have 25 NES Games, 2 regular controllers, 2 zapper guns, 1 pilot controller (soon to have 2 powerpads), and 2 NES Systems (Old Version and New Version). I only buy the games when they are cheap (Here, they are about 15 US Dollars a game) so I collect N64 games more because they are about 2-7 dollars a game.

I can teach you how to fix your NESes, assuming you have the old standard front-loading kind that break in the way I think yours are broken.
someone is out there who will like you. take off your mask so they can find you faster. I support the new Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun.

Not a single one :( The first console I got was the genesis, when I was 5.

Well i had the "old" ones i guess... as i never saw a new model... and yes they were front loading.. with the flip-top to keep the cartridge entry free of dust.. what a joke.. though the NES is a great console given that it produces ALOT of heat but the components never wore out. Th exception to this is the gold contacts on the games. From what I remember seeing on the carts, those were the main problem. I think the flip top even still worked one one of the two. If i could only find my solstice EEPROM... that's a classic. I kept it in a static bag once the case broke around it. As for the electrical know-how... I'd have to find it again, but it's always nice to be able to fix problems in-house. Thanks. Oh, yea... as for collecting... Solstice is the best game in the world!!! It was the first game i bought myself, so I guess i have an affinity for it.

Find one of the broken NESes and then ask me in the chan and I'll walk you through it. Then one of us can post the method and results here foir curious onlookers.

I still have a working NES and maybe 10 or so games, so in that sense I could qualify as a collector. I don't look for new games or anything like that, though.

I am a cartridge collector I haven't bought any new games in a while but currently I have about 400 (that is including 23 unlicensed carts and one pirate one). Now that I am into speed runs I am wanting to get new games just to do runs on them :) Little Samson for example, that was one of my favorite NES games before I even knew it had been brought to the US. I want to get a copy to try a speed run on but unfortunately it is somewhat uncommon

Had my NES since I was five, though I didn't start collecting games until about ten years later. Right now I'm up to about 150 NES carts.

I would still have my original NES, except the power supply started leaking something that looked like molasses.
