After my last post, I went out of my way and tried to fix my NES.

Fallowing a FAQ in Classic Gaming http://www.classicgaming.com/features/articles/nesrepair/ it turns out my problem was loose springs on my NES 72 Pin connector. Simple enough process, although it was quite a thrilling experiance. The only problem is now it's a bit mroe tighter to instert and remove NES cartridges out of the console. Aside from that the NES works perfectly!

Now I've been deeply considering buying some more classic NES titles I missed out on. It might become an expensive hobby, but I'll try not to go over board with it. Although, I feel a lot different after seeing the inside of a 20 year old console.... Definatly don't know why I didn't do this sooner.
