The World of Hollywood Happenings

It would seem that time cannot diminish the appeal of the old school 8-bit NES consoles that have been around for over 30 years now. After all, the NES system is basically what made Super Mario Bros. so popular. Sure, Mario was technically brought about before the NES console, but he never became incredibly popular until the 8-bit Nintendo NES system was released. But what is even more amazing is the fact that now they make after market systems that play your old 8-bit NES games, and even your 16-bit SNES games as well. The old NES console is never going to die it seems; and an amazingly large group of people still love playing their old 8-bit NES games too.

If you do a search on google for “Yobo FC Twin” you will quickly find the aftermarket console that I just mentioned. It plays both NES and SNES games all from within the same console. You can buy it for around $40 or so if you look on eBay or Amazon. You can also find original NES and SNES games for sale on those two sites as well.

You can easily find original NES systems being sold at places like Amazon, eBay.com, and many other, smaller websites. You can also find many good package deals too, like where the console comes with all 3 of the original Super Mario Bros. games, the zapper gun, 2 original controllers, etc. But those package deals will obviously cost more money though. Also, you will find that many of the NES systems being sold on eBay and Amazon have been refurbished, which is great, because it means that you will not have to fight to get the system to work every time you insert a game to play.

Most of the refurbished NES systems have brand new 72-pin connectors, which was definitely the weak link with the original NES systems. The old worn out 72 pin connectors would not grip the NES game cartridges very tight, and then the game would have to be taken out and re-inserted many times before it would work. And who wants to deal with that?
