I really don't know for sure. My family has moved so often that I couldn't begin to tell you where it might be. Perhaps it's in my dad's garage or something.

You should dig it up. If it doesn't concern you, you could probably make ALOT of money if you flashed that thing at a couple of members here. What number was it just out of curiosity?

The gold ones don't have numbers

And welcome to Thor... I'm wondering when was the last time you booted up an 8 bit Nintendo...

Thanks! IIRC, the one I got was grey, along with the rest given away to the finalists. The golds were the ones given away in Nintendo Power via the drawing. That was actually the reason the finalists even got carts, Nintendo didn't want to do it, but my dad of all people talked them into it the day before the finals using the Nintendo Power giveaway as the logical reasoning. Pretty cool really, my dad changed Nintendo history and didn't even know it

As for the last time I played a NES, probably '91 or so.

Definitely! I plan on coming to town Thursday before the thing, and for the nights that I'm there, I'm all for going to dinners and hanging with people. Cool to reminisce about the NES days, so many good memories of those games.

Heh, how much do you think this NWC cart would go for, considering the story behind it?

Regardless, welcome Thor.

Fear the Ditka! Who is Ditka btw? Is it the old Bears coach? If so, that would be cool. If not, I have no idea who we're talking about

Welcome to the site Thor. I am so bummed that I won't be able to make it to the expo this time around. I'm hoping I'll get a chance to meet you in 2009 if we're both there.

haha thor... there was supposed to be a ditka game released for the NES, but it never was released. jason (nationalgamedepot) made repros of it that will be on sale at the expo. until u, it was the most impressive thing about the expo IMO. "hurricane ditka" was from a SNL skit about the chicago superfans, because yes, he was the bears' coach!

Ah, well I see myself learning lots of cool stuff from you guys

Someone should dress in a full Chicago Bears uniform + helmet + cleats just for the lulz. Maybe tackle anyone who loses while playing

Hehe cool I guess, because I've always liked games, even if I didn't play them for many years. Brings back good memories, and it's nice to talk to people with similar interests and good memories.
