If you are like me, I entered into the world of home console gaming when the original NES(Nintendo Entertainment Sytem) came out around 1985. This was was the stuff back then. I can remember playing Super Mario Brothers and The Legend of Zelda for hours on end. I remember having to blow on the cartridge and put it in the console just right for it to work. I was constantly in trouble with my parents when it was time to leave the house because I was never ready. I had to always get to the next level or beat the next boss. Well, here we are 20+ years later with several generations of consoles and handhelds in between and I am having the same problems, only now it is my wife telling me and my kids its time to put down the games.

Anyway, I hope you will find this site informative and entertaining. Please feel free add your comments and posts, and remember to tell your friends about us.

Here is where it all started. The NES or Nintendo Entertainment System was the beginning of the console gaming revolution. It seems like yesterday when I opened my birthday gift 20+ years ago and saw the NES. It came with the best selling game ever, Super Mario Brothers. It was the first game to feature smooth scrolling levels and revolutionized the way games were created. It was so popular that it has been ported to almost all of the Nintendo gaming consoles. I remember spending countless hours playing this game until I finally completed it. Other games that I remember playing on this console and have carried on through future generations of Nintendo gaming consoles were Contra, The Legend of Zelda, Excitebike, Castlevania, Duckhunt, Metroid, and Mike Tyson Punchout. What a fun time.

Throughout the next 20 years I owned and played on many of the Nintendo gaming platforms, including the original Gameboy, Super NES, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, and DS. But none really compared to the original NES. That is until now.
