Our original idea for this episode was that we would celebrate the 35th anniversary of the North American release of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) by giving a short history lesson about the console and playing a few of our favorite games. But someplace along the way, it’s also evolved into a cautionary tale of how to keep from getting ripped off when buying old game systems. So in addition to what we originally planned, we're going to restore a broken console as well as share some tips on how to keep from getting scammed when buying vintage computers and consoles.

Fun fact: Nintendo's first game product was Hanafuda, a card game played by gamblers as far back the Edo period, but first produced by Nintendo in 1889, during the Meiji Era. Neat work on this NES. Audio quality here is much improved from earlier videos. Thanks again.

I fixed my NES a few years back by popping the pins out on the cartridge connector. Now it's very hard to get them out! Also, see my video on the Friday the 13th game for some tips. You can beat it in 15 minutes.

Popping the pins out on the connector sounds like a much better idea than boiling the thing. Also, I'll check that video out. I grabbed the game and thought it would be a nice nod with Halloween coming up.. but I had no idea what I was doing 🙄
