Nintendo Entertainment System testing session

Date played: January 18th
Platform: NES
Time played: 20 minutes
Session fun rating: 6/10

Well, I got a NES on Ebay this week. It's a nice addition to my retro collection sitting in my basement. It now proudly sits next to a SNES and N64, opposite Genesis, Sega CD and Dreamcast. I played a few of the games that came with the package but as I was expecting, results are iffy at best. I had to blow on the cartridge and inside the console multiple times before I got a game to run.

I played Super Mario Bros 1 & 3, The Little Mermaid (she shoots bubbles bitch!), Jackal and Ghosts n Goblins. I have more games to try but I just wanted to make sure the machine worked first.
