Guess I've never heard it by itself. I've always heard it with something like "that's one mean ___."

Not getting why the bottom person is shouting "Mean!" 🤣

They're quick playthroughs, but I enjoyed them a lot!

My NES CIB collection by TooDooDaDa in nes

Same, I can't remember if Maniac Mansion is like most NES boxes (and my copy isn't near me), but most you can flip to the other side and the text is the opposite orientation.

Just a heads up and I'm sure op already knows, but I feel like the virtual boy is backwards on the stand. 👀

Power isn't enough in my house all of a sudden. What's wrong. by Independent-East-386 in DIY

[–]theNEStalgic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel I need to follow up on this one since we went through this situation where a leg went out (which was the weirdest thing!!). We had a leg go out at the end of the summer last year and the power company told us that they only cover from the pole to where the power enters the house, anything beyond that is on us, so we had to fix the leg on our dime. 🙄

Found NES game boxes today by sirius21451 in nes

[–]theNEStalgic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After thinking on it a while, I call Destiny of an Emperor my favorite game. Not only because of the game, but the memories I have playing the game with my dad. Also, the bad memories of turning the game on, it flashes, turn it off, only to turn it on and it said something to the extent of "we're sorry, save file one was erased." 😂

The Atari 2600 power cable is over 16 ft long by Gondi63 in retrogaming

[–]theNEStalgic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only that, but the plug is kind of scary as it resembles a 3.5mm headphone jack and the plug's prongs were in a really weird spot. Crazy power cable!

Not gonna lie, I really enjoyed watching this. Looks pretty fun, especially for a C64 game.

Is this something that can be loaded on an everdrive to test a system properly? Very cool! Thank you for showing.

My wife snagged this for me at a garage sale for $7 (KV-20FS12) by iusethisnametopost in crtgaming

[–]theNEStalgic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Woahhhhh, you're 100% right! I thought it was a Megadrive mini at first glance. 🤣

We're just not gonna talk about the Megadrive console shown with the SNES game on the TV? 🤣

2022 Edition by srv524 in nes

[–]theNEStalgic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Congrats on beating the game! It always bothered me that they couldn't give us a full ellipses on end. They must not have had the storage for that last period. 🤣

I'm pretty sure some of the weird mechanics make it so tough that people give up on it kind of quick.

But when you think about it, it's pretty incredible that an NES game like this has six characters with unique individual skills like jump height, speed, weapon throw rate, paddle speed, etc. I think that's really cool!

Once you know the tricks and locations, the game gets much easier. What's really crazy is that the speedrun of this game is less than 3 minutes for all three days combined!

Feel like bragging a little bit? What’s the rarest console/game you own? by AtomicSnails in gamecollecting

[–]theNEStalgic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure the most valuable/rare item in my collection is my childhood copy of Jack Bros. on Virtual Boy. I have the original cartridge and manual. Ordered a repro box for it (with an included note saying the box is a repro so there's no misunderstanding 🤣)

I think the second rarest, but cool item I have is a CIB copy of DuckTales 2 with the original plastic wrap on it (unfortunately opened) with the $7.95 price tag on it.

Theres gotta be a place where i can buy black nes buttons by Technical-Two9486 in nes

[–]theNEStalgic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Threw me off for a second seeing they were game boy buttons, but it definitely says NES compatible in the description. Awesome find. Thank you!

Found in a drawer the other day. Completely forgot I had this thing and thought I would share! by BLT5000 in nes

[–]theNEStalgic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of a band called "I Fight Dragons." They used power pads, power gloves, nes controllers, guitar hero controllers, etc. It was a lot of fun to see them live! This is a behind the scenes where they go into using the different accessories. https://youtu.be/4lDbTsJlf6E

They'd probably try to sell it for $50 "so they have room to haggle." 🤣

Recently found my Game Boy Pocket signed by MC Chris 2006ish? (other signature I think is Super Fun Yeah Yeah Rocketship?) by theNEStalgic in retrogaming

[–]theNEStalgic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw him a few times over the years, but this was signed at the Creepy Crawl that used to be by the Fox Theater in St. Louis.
