So my fiance's parents sold their old house and needed me to help clear out the garage. The house had bad fire and water damage so 99% of the electronics were killed instantly. During the search I found a 1st gen NES. No controller, games, or power cord. After a $6 universal AC adaptor from Best Buy I now have a functional NES. hurrah

nothing beats having the classic system though. i may not even use it, it will probably be cheaper and easier to play through virtual console.

I might just keep it because it's a classic. I am still going to look for controllers and games.
