I bought two NES games today: Cybernoid and Star Tropics for about $8 total. I didn't have either of these games growing up, but I had rented them fairly often.
I hadn't watched through the Angry Video Game Nerd episodes until recently. It kind of made me want to start collecting NES games and playing through them when I have time. My wife's dad was getting rid of his old NES and SNES games, and I got quite a few good games.
GAMES LISTED BELOW.
I'm really stoked to start doing this. I'm going to build some shelves and an entertainment center with a CRT TV specifically for playing old games. I'm probably going to start blogging about it at some point, likely after I'm finished with school. I had found instructions online that showed you how to fix your 72 pin connector on your NES so that games played more consistently. I went ahead and did this precision surgery and it worked wonders. Most of my games play without much of a fuss anymore, unless they're really dirty. I'm gonna have to get my hands on the correct tool to open my games up so I can clean them more efficiently.
I used to have a ton more games, but I don't know what happened to them. Games I would love to get my hands on:
Mega Man
Ghostbusters
Life Force
Mega Man 4
Mega Man 5
Mega Man 6
Crystalis
Clash At Demonhead
Golgo 13
Chip N Dale's Rescue Rangers
