Got an NES clone...

[17daysolderthannes]

I have a FOAC/NOAC and it has all pins routed and has worked with all games I've encountered... the sound is a bit different though.

which one is it and how are you sure it has all the pins routed properly? Castlevania III and certain versions of Gauntlet are the only way to know. Also I think Rad Racer II glitches with most systems for another reason pertaining to pinouts, so thats another one to test. Something like 97% of NES games work flawlessly to slightly glitchy (slightly off colors or sound glitches, neither of which would be noticeable to a first time player), and of the 3% many are extremely rare licensed or unlicensed games (like Action 52 and Cheetahmen II). The three I listed above are the only popular and somewhat common NES games that don't boot or aren't playable (I think Gauntlet boots, but graphical glitches screw it up pretty quickly).

Couldn't bring myself to actually own a system with the Nintendo logo on it

Sigh...and then people wonder why people of diferent races can't get along.

Honetly, you won't buy a game console all because it says "Nintendo" on it? Are you four or somthing? Why limit all the great games you can play all because of a company logo?

Maybe it is about moral. Nintendo's fascist rules against third party developers, the fact that they showed Sega's games to the government to show how "bad" they were and then publishing uncensored games themselves and that EU sued them for having too high prices in EU compared to the rest of the world. I dismiss the current video game generation partly because of moral, since Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo all have bad moral. Luckily, I find plenty enough of great games to play on other consoles.

But if you buy old Nintendo games off ebay, car boot sales or such, Nintendo don't see a penny of it
In fact they are essentially loosing money because you're not buying their expensive wii download versions!
No sense on missing out on classics like Super Punch Out

[Zebbe]

Good point. But Super Punch Out can't hold a candle to the original.

[Tanegashima]

wow, I guess being a little sarcastic about nintendo means I'm an evil racist. Well, considering I have an N64, and Gamecube, I must be one hell of a hypocrite.

Its a joke, I mean, if I were totally "loyal" to sega, why would I have a TurboDuo, Neo Geo, and not own a dreamcast?

The original is called, Ending Man S-500, the thing is 15 years old, belongs to my dad and still kicking... it has nothing more than a black blob in front of the cart slot and every single pin of the 60 pins is connected. I have the inners of a same system in my MD2 shaped box.

It sems Nintendo pissed everyone off back then. Its Publishers, retail outlets, its fans all had complaints.

well, um, err, you see, the NES has SEVENTY TWO (72) pins, not 60, so its a famicom clone. AFAIK the only game that isn't compatible with a famicom clone is some Japanese only release, but your 15 year old clone probably was a more thorough hardware job since that was still when you could sell a clone for a decent amount of money.

Where did you read that from? I remember reading that Liberman, or what ever his name was, saw his child playing these "evil" games, and thats how it all whent down.

I read it on the internet somewhere. I remember hearing this Howard Lincoln saying a game like Night Trap would never be released on a Nintendo console, despite they were actually considering it a few years earlier for the then in development "Nintendo Play Station". Talk about turning the cape for where the wind blows.

I can't afford either the PS3 nor the Wii .

And the most ridiculous thing is that Night Trap really isn't that bad! OK, so the girl's in a nightgown, its not revealing at all. Now, it does show her being held down and having this big metal thing shoved in her neck, but its done in a very B movie way and is more comical than graphic (plus I don't recall any blood). And, more important than anything, you are supposed to SAVE her, not commit this act on her. I say who cares anyway, it gave Sega the right to say that their games were for a more grown up audience and not a little kid's toy (which personally I don't think anything besides Sesame Street 123 and Fisher Price *something* should be referred to as kid's games). Screw that crap about Final Fantasy VII bringing in adult targeted games, Sega had been doing it for years.
