Perfect timing with this thread, I just picked up a Factor-5 NES player this weekend along with 7 games. I'm really pleased with the console, the controllers especially are responsive and it's nice having an AV out for my TV. The main drawback is it's finicky with some games, especially dirty ones. I went to town with qtips and Windex but I am SOL it seems for The Three Stooges and Robocop. All in all though, the factor 5 is not a bad deal, especially at 20 bucks. I'm having lots of fun scouring eBay and Retro gaming stores for low priced gems. Just ordered the original TMNT for $1.99, and I found Skate or Die for 99 cents. Something tells me I am going to spend a lot more time collecting these games than actually playing them...

This is what my next order of NES games is looking like - I'm curious if you guys could have a look and let me know if anything sticks out as being too overpriced or not worthwhile to order - disclaimer: Jeopardy is for the wife. I'm trying to keep it just over $50 because it's free shipping. http://www.jjgames.com/cart/remove_purchases?purchaseid=843776

Hey, we have the exact same TV! It's just by good luck that I'm finding out Trinitrons are best for retro gaming. Can you use a light gun on it with no issues?

Miyamotos RGB NES posted:I can't even understand the appeal of clones. Half emulation/half slapped together hardware, less compatibility, sound issues, made of high-gloss red plastic that looks like crap, for virtually the same price as the actual system. Why do they exist? I do believe this is the exception to that rule: http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/ed6b/?cpg=cj&ref&CJURL&CJID=2470763

I think I'm set for a while. I included Jeopardy to appease the wife. Sadly she probably won't be able to play it until about 2013 once I've gone through the rest...
