Hurray! My new NES cartridge connector came in the mail today! I installed it and it works like a dream : ) Gone are the days when I shall live in fear of the dreaded blinking red light and his horrible blood-curdling monotone gaze!

I looked at the new peice and despite the fact that it wasn't 27 years old, the only visual difference was that where as the metal prongs that connect to motherboard on the original used only a little metal bump that was about 1mm wide to connect, this new one used the whole tab, to it was like at least 7 times wider.

The only downsaide right now is that the connector is so tight that it take me like 5 minutes to get a cartridge out of my NES lol.

So far my NES exploits include getting one level higher than where I usually get Game Over in Super Mario Bros. (World 8, Level 2) and getting 98 lines in Tetris. SO CLOSE TO 100!!

I'm still scared to play Zelda though. I really don't wanna play for like hours and hours just to turn on my system one day to find that my data has been erased :0

Now when's that copy of Punch-Out gonna get here . . .

That's for now.

Peace.

EDIT: Ha! I got 101 lines in Tetris! w00t! The blocks went back to blue : ) That's definitely the farthest I've ever gotten in that game.
