Top loader for life. :P
Contemplating composite mod. There is a ton of bad info out there....

You just contradicted yourself there..... if you want to use composite, you use a front loader. Even with a composite mod, the top loader video quality is pretty poor. I'm wondering how long it'll be before the Chinese sites start cloning the rgb mod for the nes.... then it'll be a wash as you'll be able to get the 100 dollar mod kit for 20. ;)
Cowabunga, do machines....ect....

It's $2 worth of components difference in the front loader vs top loader circuits but whatever you say.
::)
Manhattan Project was a legitimately fun game. Spamming both buttons eventually kills you, so it's not like TMNT 2 where you wanted to kick your friend for doing the jump slash over and over....

I just ordered the 72 pin version and started losing top loaders Ebay, I'll keep at it till I get the price I want.
I also noticed that the FAMICOM go for more then I would have thought. I have seen them in Thailand for about $45 USD and even cheeper on a local web sites. I may pick a few up to sell next summer when I come back home.

Yeah, I guess the thought behind it's appeal is you can use crazy stuff like the disk drive and the keyboard accessories and all that expansion port goodness. Objectively speaking though, the famicom kind of sucks compared to the NES. The gamepads are connected and the wires are short, it looks like a fisher price toy, ect...

I don't know what to tell ya man. Maybe they started using cheaper parts on the later models, but usually the comparison videos show *some* top loaders with as good a picture quality as the original nes and some are noticeably worse. How to tell which version you have is beyond me.
What I liked about III was we finally got some new content. You can only fight on the streets of New York so many times, to ultimately face Bebop, Rocksteady, Shredder and Krang. Sure eventually you do those things, but the stages where the turtles are out of their element were noteworthy as well as the new bosses that were some serious deep cuts in the action figure isle. Even turtles in time, which tried to mix it up with the time travel element, ended up being a greatest hits of the generic stages you go through in every beat-em-up.
