I loved the Nintendo DS lite and the Wii.
I mean they were not near the best consoles.

Well every gamer has a different kind of console they like. I still love the old consoles the most, I would rather play games on them than on a PS4. Nowadays I just use Nintendo emulators on my PC to play the old games I used to play, I only miss the feel of the controller :/

I play anything from Atari to PS3. If you guys ever need help on game collecting or how to maintain/clean your consoles/games, I'm your guy.

I'm a nut for all this old game stuff, so I'm going to try to not make a wall of text of a post but here...

To start off answering the question, I still play my NES a good bit. I have one of my three (2 "Toasters" - one with SCART RGB mods, and one Toploader) systems by my PC in front of the Apple II, and I think Rolling Thunder or Castlevania III usually sits in there to be played whenever. Pretty cool you found a Zapper, but remember - they only work on CRTs as with most light guns, so bring that beast of a TV out if you want to use the thing. Here's a few pictures of some of my NES stuff, I just saw this thread when I woke up and I'm not digging out the rest of my collection because I'm going to be stubborn or whatever...

And in general, yeah I collect a lot of the stuff. My job as it's been for a year or so now is hardware repair at a game store and/or working the counter if nobody else is available, and I've seen my way around everything from a Toaster NES with a bad 72-pin connector to a Neo Geo AES with RAM issues and a few bad traces on the mobo. If not Skull, then I can probably help with any questions, I've been collecting this stuff since 2008.

Yeah, maybe, but he's never on. @BurritoBeans has a pretty large collection too, if I recall correctly.

I saw. My stuff is from all over, some of it is from retro gaming conventions, stores, or ebay, wherever I could find a decent price.
