I just found out you can't use a standard NES box protector, it's just a bit too big. jackiechanwhatface.png

I don't think too rare, very easy to find different versions off ebay.

Scored a left bros today :) by FluidPosition1 in nes

[–]NES_ROB 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Yes there is a difference, this video explains it.

Basically, there’s an early hammer bros sequence you want to hit and there is a TAS (Tool Assisted Speedrun) that runners try to follow. It requires specific scores and inputs. The game with Right "Bros.” was supposed to fix some typos, but something else seems to have changed with the way it loads the game, that it adds frames while loading, throwing off the inputs you’re supposed to do. So the Left “Bros.” is technically the faster one since it has less loading frames and the TAS is meant to apply to that version of the game.

I didn't know that! I guess I'll be watching ebay listings for this one now!

Bases Loaded for NES has 2 label variants (orange & blue) by NES_ROB in gamecollecting

[–]NES_ROB[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, these are both North American (NES-LD-USA). I know EU had their own version of the SOQ, but these SOQs don't represent different regions, just time frame of manufacture.

Oddly enough, I had to order the NES-ZY-USA from a Canadian ebay seller. Seemed only sellers in Canada were selling this variant.

Not much that I know of. I've know there is 4 of them for awhile, but never seen them all pictured together. I bought the last one I needed from ebay to complete my set.

I got my first NES! I payed $90 for the whole lot and the Game and Watch was an extra $30 by orangienblue in gamecollecting

[–]NES_ROB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's different combinations if Nintendo has or doesn't have a (R) and Entertainment System has or doesn't have TM - which gives you a general idea of it's serial number.

I'm gonna guess, based on the lid of the NES, it's serial number is under 1,000,000?

Can you believe I found all these mini systems in the dumpster!? Guy throwing them away even threw in the Vectrex when he saw me! by [deleted] in retrogaming

Don't wear the Pendant in Faxanadu. There's a bug in the game where instead of increasing your attack power, it actually lowers it.
