For instance, those of us old enuff to remember the Atari 2600, Colecovision, TI99/4A & so on, probably couldn't have gotten rid of those games/consoles fast enuff when they became 'played out'. Now I'm starting to see people selling some of those older systems for a nice little amount and I think the earlier systems would definately be considered pretty much collectors items by now if they are in good shape. It kinda makes me miss my old Atari 2600. What do you think? Kevin<< I'd like to add that anyone who sells or trades their old systems has a screw loose unless of course that is the only way they can afford to buy more games. I guess I am a pack rat by nature, but I still have my old woodgrain 2600 and even a Vic 20 in its original box (with a boxed tape drive). Admittedly I only break out the 2600 in a fit of nostalgia or when I acquire a "new" game for it, but those evenings are always enjoyable. More recently I have begun collecting old systems and games like mad. I could probably name the ones I don't have yet easier than the ones that I do have - the next system I have my eye on is a CD-i. Call me crazy, but I do believe that all these old systems will become more and more valuable over time (just look at what a Vectrex costs these days). Plus retro gaming really puts things in perspective - I can't wait for the day when I can pop in Goldeneye or B-K and they will look as dated as Combat does today. On a somewhat related note ("compiled!") I agree with those that wrote favorably of the Virtual Boy. Sure, I get a headache if I play for more than ten minutes, but some of the games are really innovative and will probably be considered groundbreaking when gaming truly goes into virtual reality. The only real problem I had with the system (considering that I picked it up for under $30) is the lack of multiplayer. Perhaps if the system had been met with success, Nintendo would have come out with some way to link multiple VBs together. Oh well, it's not like I know too many people who even own a Virtual Boy anyway. BTW: Have any VB fans out there ever come across or know where to get the rare VB import games SD Gundam Dimension War, Space Squash, In Mouse's House, or Virtual Lab? These are the last games I need to complete my collection.

Sell my old systems when a new one came out. My NES for a Turbo Grafx-16, my Turbo for a Super NES, my Super NES for insuarnce money. Those were all big mistakes. It cost me so much more to track down all those systems (and games) I got rid of because I was bored with them at that time but later wanted to play again. Now I'm keeping all my systems no matter what, I'll starve before I part with my Jaguar or PlayStation.

I've never taken apart a Nintendo brand controller, but I have taken apart the Super Pad 64 by Interact. I would think that the Nintendo ones are similar. There were no springs inside. The resistance is provided by rubber boots underneath the plastic buttons. The rubber boots are mounted on the circuit board. I'm pretty sure that the buttons are loose and can fall out.

Unfortunately, Nintendo only makes the standard size memory pak. You'll easily surpass the capacity if you have a couple games that use it, especially the sports games, which are total memory hogs with all the stats. I've been using the Interact 4x memory pak since December last year, without any problems. I've also tried the Nyko brand, which didn't work at all with Madden 64. I don't know how any of you survive with only the standard capacity memory pak. 4x is really the minimum you'd need, unless all your games use built-in EEPROMs. matt ma [ To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" ] [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Jul 1998 14:33:24 EDT From: Subject: Re: [N64] Taking apart N64 controllers In a message dated 98-07-29 14:25:49 EDT, you write: > What kind of paint are you going to use?
