Sounds like your GB has taken a beating. But hey, you don't need up for Tetris from what I remember. The Power Pad is awesome. Nintendo was so ahead of their time back then. I'm sure your Power Pad still works. It's rare that they go bad unless you jumped up and down on it with brick shoes or something. I prefer the original NES over Super Nintendo any day. Something about the old school graphics and fun game play. If you ever want to unload your NES toaster ;) let me know. I'd be interested. Hey Luke. Sounds like your GB has taken a beating.

Those things are fun to show kids today. My nephew thought it was a controller for some really complicated version of DDR. I don't know how well the Power Pad works though; it's been folded up in my closet for a long long time. You got any games to play on it? I've still got Tetris and the original Game Boy too - too bad my GB isn't in such good shape. I counted once, and there's eleven points on it where if you put too much pressure the game will restart. One of those points is the up button. It's been a long time since I've hooked my NES. I kind of doubt I still have the skills I did when I was younger; I probably couldn't even beat Contra or Life Force without the Konami code any more. It's a shame, but what're you going to do? And it's not like playing modern games will help me. Those old games were a <i>challenge</i> in a way that almost nothing touches these days. Still, I'd like to see anyone who grew up with one of those pansy Playstations try to beat Contra with one guy like I used to.
