Buy them when i purchase a new laptop, my current one is pretty f*cked.

These games run on a potato... at least a potato with ScummVM / DosBox / AGS support. ;)

I know, but the CPU is finished more or less. Just overheats and throttles, can barely load webpages as well. It has gone super slow, even done fresh windows install etc. Buy a new one soon.

That simple.

I didn't even actually want an NES as a kid, our grandma pushed our parents to buy us one because every kid had a computer or Nintendo at the house.

I wasn't crazy about the Atari 2600 and preferred just regular toys.

Definitely Nintendo and the NES that got me into home gaming as well. I also didn't care for the Atari 2600; it was all arcades for me until the NES.

It was a mix of Super Mario Bros and Dragon Warrior. Super Mario Bros was my first game and I really enjoyed it but as a kid with a large imagination, Dragon Warrior helped cement my love of gaming.

Pokemon Silver/Gold was what got me into gaming early on and I still play pokemon and even watch the anime to this day. It can also be said that it formed the type of person I've become.
