Nintendo NES coffee table
mvsfan:
True, the coffee table is just slick. thats about the neatest piece of furniture ive seen in a while.
this would be a great gift for a kid who lives in a gamer household provided he knows what a nes is.
thats not really a problem though. lots of people my age are parents now, and some lucky folks have managed to hang on to their NES and Ataris like me.
if i have kids hes definately getting that old 2600 Jr to mess with along with the new stuff. im not giving him the 2600 though if hes anything like i was and treated games rough. ill let him beat up his PS5 instead.
anyways, yeah. awesome project and great finishing.
good luck selling it.
I live in the US and could never afford the shipping. best bet is to sell it locally or put it on ebay UK.

thats just a testament to the nes though how durable it was.
i used to bounce those controllers off the walls (one even went through a window by mistake once) after the 99th time i died in a row.
that first one i got in "85 went through hel. it lasted about 4 years till it finally gave up.
the second one i got i made it a point to not treat it rough, but the analog video went bad anyway and player 2 control port stopped working. that was in 1993,
and i was in the right place at the right time. toys r us was clearing out their whole stock of NES toploaders for $30 and i didnt know it at the time but that was one of the best buys i made.
ive always babied the toploader and still have it today. i use it all the time.
Im sure you already know but its much improved over the toaster. no more blinking games.
mvsfan:
yeah now though you can buy all kinds of nes clones. i just dont believe they have the same reliability as a real toploader. but i guess when mine goes bad, ill be in the market for a clone since the toploaders even are going on 16 - 17 years now.
thanks.
