The NES games look like they were opened only to see if there was a game inside so most of the plastic wrap is still intact.

I also bought a Not For Resale Jetforce Gemini, but sold it already.

Terrific find!!! I've been looking for McKids and Talespin for a long time locally and have had zero luck. Super Soccer is also a guilty pleasure of mine. Tons of fun.

My son... gives me Helpful Nintendo Hints that are far too complex for the adult mind to comprehend. Here's a verbatim example: "OK, there's Ganon and miniature Ganon and there's these things like jelly beans and the miniature Ganon is more powerfuller, because when you touch him the flying eagles come down and the octopus shoots red rocks and the swamp takes longer." And the hell of it is, I know he's right. - Dave Barry

What's the deal with that NES controller? It has black buttons and the D-pad I really don't think is official because it's hard to use it diagonally.

Why does the Metal Gear game cover look like it says Meta Gear?

Looks like a reprinted cover or it's folded? Seems like Solid says Soid.

"Why does the Metal Gear game cover look like it says Meta Gear?"

I... don't know. I will check that out later today.

EDIT

I have it here with me actually and it definitely says Metal Gear Solid on the cover. Not sure how it looked that way in the picture.

I think I see it, it doesn't look like that in person. The picture was taken with an iPhone.
