She paid £10 for; One Zapper Two standard controllers One NES Advantage controller all unboxed games; Shadowgate Batman World Cup Super Mario 2 Mario / Duck Hunt Dragons Lair Golf Wrestle Mania Bubble Booble Teenage Hero Turtles Teengae Hero Turtles Arcade Paperboy Chip n Dale rescue rangers 5 assorted LCD handhleds, all 1995 or later. :) this was at 11:30am when the car boot sale first opened. She just went back for some more at 12:30 :) Notice that there was no NES console in that lot. I think the seller probably got the NES out of the loft, mistoook the blinking light game not loading problem for a broken NES and threw it away.

Title: Re: My wife just handed me a load of NES games Post by: shadytool on July 11, 2004, 06:26:33 AM censors? ninja is bad?

Title: Re: My wife just handed me a load of NES games Post by: Sureshot on July 11, 2004, 07:00:22 AM Obviously they were scared of a Ninja uprising in every council estate in the country :P They probably thought using 'ninja' wasn't entirely savoury for a kids program, pretty OTT if you ask me.
Title: Re: My wife just handed me a load of NES games Post by: shadytool on July 11, 2004, 07:07:22 AM yeah, just kinda thought that was weird.
prolly not any better over here though. in fact its worse Title: Re: My wife just handed me a load of NES games Post by: Lord Nepenthean on July 11, 2004, 12:50:16 PM I think they were censored in Peru too, but it wasn't "Hero" turtles.... I can't remember off the top of my head what they called them there. If my Peruvian friend weren't on vacation, I'd call her up and ask her....
Very nice find, though! Seldomly do I find that much stuff at once, and even less often at that nice of a price! So what were the LCD games? Tiger handhelds, or some other brand? Title: Re: My wife just handed me a load of NES games Post by: thx1138 on July 11, 2004, 02:31:20 PM one was Grandstad but modern, one was some awful calculator / tetris clone and there was an MB games Battleships. Man, when I was 8 years old MB Games electronic Battle ships was bigger than my laptop!
and there was some Return of the Jedi crap too. It was all crap really. but she bought them cos they had batteries in :) |
