My first ever console was an N64. I know, I started late. However, my first handheld was the GBC, and I have been hooked on GBC, GBA, NDS ever since.

Same here, but with the PGB first (Pocket GameBoy). It came with DonkyKong II or something (I don't recall the actual name, but it was a small yellow cart with Diddy and Dixie).

SNES is probably still my favorite. I remember buying one with Final Fantasy II with a couple months of savings. I then plugged its output in my Commodore 1702 Monitor and routed the sound to my cheasy stereo. I thought I was such a hardware hack :)

In my honest opinion, you're not a true classic gamer unless you have played on an nes. I remember the good ol' days when all my friends had genesis and snes and all I had was nes... up until 1999 when I got my Playstation. So I can't really say that I appreciate many of the games that came out on snes and n64. Aside from final fantasy, zelda , megaman X to X3 and a few others, it really wasn't that good of a system. And don't get me started on n64...

Didn't they have "We Card" back then? Or does your state's law prohibiting sale of alcohol products to minors not apply to isopropyl rubbing alcohol?

The back of the NES carts recommended that you don't use solvents like alcohol or benzene, so I just used a q-tip dampened with water. I would always get the most interesting looking green residue after cleaning the cart. I would subsequently spend about 15 mins blowing into the cart and the system, banging on the system, and sliding the cart inside of the system so it aligns properly, etc. Rental games were a bitch to get working though.

True, but the manual for Nintendo's NES Cleaning Kit recommended using isopropyl rubbing alcohol if water doesn't work.

Man, the trick was just opening your nes, and bending all the cartridge connector pins. Made it a lot harder to insert/remove your carts, but they worked 90% of the time after that.

Heheh, I tend to be backwards with everything. I had an N64 before I finally got a SNES (I just had the Genesis during the 16-bit era.) And I've beaten Mario Sunshine twice, but still haven't gotten around to finishing the N64 version of Mario 64. :)

I found the best thing to do is to get a game genie. Where you piggyback the NES cart onto the Game Genie. The games seem to work better that way.

I was a Nintendo fanboy back in the day, but I think I like Sega more than Sony and Microsoft.
