So Ive got all these old games, and I wish I could play them!

[The_Real_Crunk]

When I was visiting my parents for christmas my mother told me she bought this big old box full of "nintendo games" from a second hand store for $20. She said me and my younger brother could split it. We went through it, I pick one, he picks one, etc.

My mom pointed out a few she remembered. My dad used to kick ass at Asteroids.

This is what I ended up with. I WANNA PLAAAAAY. I havent had the system to play these on since I was like 4. There were also instructions books for almost every single one.

Have fun playing most of those for more than 5 minutes.

I owned a number of those pictured back in the day. My faves out of the above games:

Superman
E.T.
Defender
Ms. Pac-Man

Actually, Mora, Superman, E.T., Raiders of the Lost Ark and Pitfall (all adventure-type games except for Pitfall) should be able to hold someone's interest for longer than 5 minutes. For me, anyway, it's the twitch shooting/"platforming"/sports games from that period that I could not play for more than 5 minutes. That and the horrible, horrible version of Pac-Man.

Ms. Pac-Man, all things considered, was actually really decent.

Back when I was like 4 we had millipede, asteroids, and some Donkey Kong. there was also some sapce ship game I cant remember. It was kinda side scrolling, but the view was almost of to the side a bit and in the air, so things had 3 demensions, and you could move around. I friggin loved that one.

And apparently after checking out Atari Age, Music Machine is rare as ****. Neat. Ive never even heard of it.

Unbelievably Rare - These games are almost impossible to find in the wild. Even collectors who have been at it for years may never run across one of these, and they often make up the showcase of an individual's collection. These rarely show up even on Ebay, and if they do there will most likely be a bidding war.

Well, time to go over to the retro gaming forums and tease everyone.

Yeah, even if you never get the chance to play them, you can lol at people online about them.
