Hi all. My name is Adam, I am 15, and a long term fan of NES. This has always been in my mind, the best system ever made. It had so many brick walls for designers, and so little memory, yet games like megaman, and batman came in the such great graphics, even with all of the limitations. That is what I thought was great about it. The first game I ever played was Batman: Return Of The Joker, and It has never gotten old to me. The first video game that I ever got for my own was Color a Dinosaur. You can make fun of that game all you want, but if I have that same game right now, it would make me the happiest person in the world, and I would to almost anything to get it. I love NES alot, and I would love to call myself a collector, but I don't think I can. I don't really have the money, and not so many games, but I love the system just as much as any of you here, if not more. If you are wondering, here are some pics of me. If I am going to introduce myself, I better do it right.

Welcome to NintendoAge, bro . You speak of Color a Dinosaur...I have one to spare en route (it should be here tomorrow or Friday, actually). I'm quite interested in the Color a Dinosaur manual you have lying there...if you're willing to part with it, maybe we could work something out. Enjoy your stay. Btw, nice effects in the pics .

Quite popular already when you have things people want.

You might be able to make a trade for quite a few games for that manaul. It's rather rare.

Love the pictures.

Looks like you've got a decent collection started some decent complete in box (CIB) games.

Enjoy the site and have fun collecting.

Jim

I am not so sure. Like I said, it is from the first ever video game that was actually mine, and I don't think I want to part with it, if you understand.

Hey Adam,

That manual pretty rare, 8 of of 10

Many here try to collect Game, book and box. and hunt down missing pieces.

a color a dinosaur CIB, box book and game can get well over $100. Mostly cause the box is hard to find

You're probably wise to hold on to it if it's one of those games that's close to your heart

Depending on the interested parties, anywhere from $25 to $35 would be about right for it, assuming there's no writing, no creases, etc....

Welcome to the site, Adam. Love the pics!

You can often find really good deals from other board members, so just keep your eyes peeled and you'll have a slew of games before you know it.

Welcome Adam! And thats prolly a good call on the manual, never sell something if it has any sentimental value to it. Trust me you will regret it in the end, i know i did when i sold off my original SNES and NES. Anyways welcome to the Best Site for the NES!!!
