Not pictured: Bible Adventures. I know I had more but I must have traded some in. I for sure had Jaws and Jack Nicklaus Golf. I replaced the 72 pin connector and she runs perfectly still. I couldn’t believe how spotless it was when I opened it up. Btw, sorry if this is formatted weird. Still trying to get used to Lemmy.
Bible adventures brings back so many memories. It's the only game we were allowed to play on Sundays. Hahaha
Hi, I do console repairs and I've done a metric ton of NES. If that 72 pin connector was after market, it will probably wreck your games. If you still have your old connector, or if you can buy a used OEM connector, do the following:
get at least 70 percent iso alcohol and a toothbrush and scrub the connector pins. Next, take the old connector, boil it in water for half an hour and let it cool. Reinstall and test. Don't be afraid to hit the pins with iso again.
This will save the vast majority of oem connectors, and your games will thank you.
Thanks for the advice! It is in fact an aftermarket connector. I got it after my attempts at cleaning the original one had no effect. I did keep the OEM connector, however. So I will try your method on it and see if I have better luck.
Ive done the repair suggested and it worked for me! Your stuff looks like its in great condition, it'd be a shame to lose games to a bad connector.
Ahhh, the original TMNT game. The water level was the bane of my childhood. I don't think I ever did beat that game, actually.
You KNOW 7 year old me dominated that game. Couldn’t do it now 🥴
I remember the few times I finally beat it getting to some part in the next sewer and could never make the jump. Never made of farther.
Still a great game until that point that I played a ton, and the music is still stuck in my head.
Same, that level marked the end of your turn.
Holy shit how have I never seen this before... I am dying.

this guy has been making those kind of videos for almost 20 years, it's worth checking out :)
Jaws was a low key banger of a game. Loved it.
I was legit scared gathering those conchs.

Very nice. Also, TIL there was a Bible Adventure NES game.
Bible Adventures was simultaneously a terrible and great game. I spent so much time wrangling animals trying to get them on the ark.
Nice. I can’t believe my conservative parents didn’t have me play it.
The charm of older game cannot be beaten. One of my favorite is Mario paint on the SNES, and also super Mario rpg the legend of the seven stars on the SNES. I never got too much into the NES, expect for the Mario games.
was just playing mario rpg the other day (snes emulator), it's a fun game
