After seeing the multiple postings throughout the site of people not able to find a final copy of Nintendo Power magazine, I did some hunting locally.

I was able to find 6 copies available for fellow members.

If you can't find a copy locally, and don't want to spend the $25-$50 price on eBay and Amazon, let me know.  I will sell these copies for $12 shipped, and shipped in a Priority Flat Rate Padded Envelope, so my profit is almost nothing.  This is for US members.  For international members, the shipping for Priority Flat Rate Padded Envelope is higher, so the cost will be $20 total, if that means of shipping is acceptable to your country. 

I will continue to search around, and I hope that other members will post what they can find for others before they are all gone.

SIDE NOTE:  This is an attempt at helping out other members, so please do not request a copy so that you can flip it for profit.

Yes, I know.  Here I go again.  I jumped on another Craigslist seller's post and was smiling all the way through.  Admittedly, I didn't know what all games where included when I headed down to buy the lot due to bad cell phone pics.  But can you guess the moment that the shaking and excitement started...?

So, listing description:
Older teen in a smaller town south of here posted a CL listing for 45 NES games for $40.  I will say that many were in dire need of some 409 and a rag, and I have not tested them all yet, but here is what the lot contained.

Notables:
Castlevania II: Simon's Quest [Oval Seal]
Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse
Donkey Kong Classics [Oval Seal]   - $7 on VGPC
G.I. Joe: The Atlantis Factor  - $14 on VGPC  GO JOE!
Metal Storm (some label damaged)  - $17.50 on VGPC
Metroid [3 Screw w/Oval Seal] (x2)  - $7 on VGPC
Spider-Man: Return of the Sinister Six (minor label peeling)   - $7 on VGPC
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project  - $10 on VGPC
AND FINALLY............

R.C. Pro-AM II  - $35+ on VGPC .  Sometimes selling for much more, and in great condition after cleaning.  The total asking price was barely more than the single most valuable game!

Remaining games (and many were duplicates therefore trade bait.  Check my FS/T list):

10-Yard Fight [3 Screw], Adventures of Dino Riki, The, Astyanax, Base Wars: Cyber Stadium Series, Bases Loaded II: The Second Season, Bigfoot, Blaster Master [Oval Seal], Captain Skyhawk, Casino Kid, City Connection [Round Seal], Golf [3 Screw w/Round Seal], Karate Kid, The [Round Seal], Kung Fu [3 Screw w/Round Seal], Laser Invasion, Legend of Zelda, The [Classic Series] (ripped label), Life Force, Mickey Mousecapade [Round Seal] (x2), Millipede [Round Seal], Pinball [3 Screw w/Round Seal], R.C. Pro-AM, Rad Racer II, RoboCop, Seicross, Short Order/Egg-Splode!, Silent Service, Silkworm, Stealth ATF, Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt [Seal of Quality] (x2), Tecmo World Wrestling, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Tetris 2, Tetris [Nintendo], Ultimate Stuntman, The.

Yeah. this was seriously worth it.

Posted under NES, Advantage

Bear with me if the format just isn't right, considering that this is my first blog post. 

As I was physically reorganizing my collection tonight, something really struck me.  As I was aligning consoles with games on their respective shelves, I realized that I really didn't need or want to display a NES console on that shelf.  I want to display the controller that I enjoyed for so many hours.  Yes, I liked my NES in the 80's. but I loved my NES Advantage.  It really does bother me that I left it stashed in a box when I joined the Army.  So much of my stuff was missing by the time I got back home, and my NES and accessories were part of the missing.  For years I convinced myself that a controller meant nothing, but the moment I held another NES Advantage  and enjoyed another great game, I realized how wonderful an "accessory" can be.  Do you have a favorite controller, gun, etc.?  Tell me about it.
