NES vs SNES

I used rubbing alcohol on a q-tip. Worked like a charm.

That too.

It's fairly simple - NES controllers are more masculine therefore LucyDuke likes them. SNES controllers are more feminine therefore most of the males here defend them.

Thought you knew me better than that, Narz.

That's my standby. It's worked great for years.

Not that much, and it's a small price to pay to actually play a game or two.

Even better option: open up your console, remove the 72-pin connector, take a tiny flathead screwdriver and bend the pins back into proper position. The problems the old consoles had were due to the way the games were inserted. It's a design flaw and nothng more; fortunately one easily remedied. For best results of course, you want to clean your cartridges properly too.

As for which console I prefer, well, I 'd have to go wth the SNES. Not only was it designed better (free of the above-mentioned necessary maintenance) but there was a wider variety of really good games. Granted, some of the NES best games hold up to or surpass some of the SNES good games, but the latter console just had more good games.

So, you are masochistic Lucy?

No. I like going outside sometimes.

Go fish is a balls out cool game and superior to any thing on the NES or SNES.

OK, as promised my bronze NES controllers:

I used a poor choice of mold (this rubbery thing) so the molds were significantly warped, but in the end I actually liked the sort of "bronze age" quality that made these controllers look like something pulled out of an archaeological dig. Definitely did not do what I originally intended though, which was a highly polished perfect looking bronze replica of a NES controller. I definitely did not pursue sculpture as a career choice, thankfully.

That's so freaking awesome. Imagine digging those things up in 4,000 years time...

Genesis.

does NES have Mortal Kombat?

No but Sega Genesis did. SNES had this crappy censored version of it with no blood and guts. That's blasphemy.

How is shooting a bunch of aliens (and asking questions later) deep? (Contra)

It's not deep. Simple concept, yet a great game.

The Genesis had an awful version of MK2 with no blood code, piss-poor graphics, requirement of an add-on 6 button controller to use all of the moves. SNES was miles ahead on MK2 all of the things not included in Genesis version.

Never-Ending Stories are absolutely better.

And thinking you just picked up a bunch of crusty poop.

Yeah, I have a SNES and everyone from my floor on my dorm hangs out in my room to play it
