When I was a kid, i would stare at those posters for a long time trying to imagine how some of those games played

Ha, me too.

Back in those days, you could get away with giving your games titles like "Baseball", "Tennis", "Golf" and "Pinball".

Waiting for 2010 so that they can pack them in with $30 "NES Classic Memories" discs for the Revolution

I played the shit out of some of those games.. Gyromite, GUMSHOE, Excitebike a lot.. I think I beat Kung Fu 1 million times.

 

[Guzim]

Kung Fu was a sweet game.

I still have those posters in mint condition. I wonder if they're worth anything?

That reminds me, I want to get a hold of that old Players Choice Book, it had a black cover and was like 200 pages. I think it came with my nes system back in the day.

And Wrecking Crew still kicks ass.

I still have those posters. That second one drove me MAD. It had that Adventure of Link screen like a full year (or more) before the game came out. Back then the only way to find out when games were coming out was to call the stores and ask (or check the Fun Club News every three months, but that never had reliable dates anyway). You can imagine how often my local game shops heard from me asking about Zelda II...

Finally I got my hands on the Canadian version, which was out a full month before the US version. Ahh, November 1988... it was a good month...

zelda II > zelda I
that is FACT!
