You know what, I think we had the same old brown couch! Wow! We were always a system behind, Atari when NES and SMS hit the shelves. NES when SNES, and so on.

i recently found the old nes box in the attic. I got it in 1990 together with mario bros, tetris and nintendo world cup!

Wow, you were late in the game, no?

Mine came with Super Mario Bros, no zapper and no Duck Hunt even. One controller. Later we added Rob to the setup (talk about a worthless perhipial!)

No. I didn't get it when it first came out. The very first releases like you said didn't come with duckhunt and they did come with Rob I believe (or at least the really expensive sets did) Also the first zappers were grey in color instead of the bright orange.

My neighbor had the nintendo first. I begged and pleaded to get one and I finally did for christmas.

North American bundle packages

For its North American release in 1985, the NES was released in two different configurations, or "bundles". The console deck itself was identical, but each bundle was packaged with different game paks and accessories. The first of these sets, the Control Deck, retailed from US$199.99 (equivalent to US$401 today), and included the console itself, two game controllers, and a Super Mario Bros. game cartridge. The second bundle, the Deluxe Set, retailed for US$249.99 (equivalent to US$501 today), and consisted of the console, a R.O.B. accessory, an NES Zapper (electronic gun), and two game paks: Duck Hunt and Gyromite.

For the remainder of the NES's commercial lifespan in North America, Nintendo frequently repackaged the console in new configurations to capitalize on newer accessories or popular game titles. Subsequent bundle packages included the NES Action Set, released in November 1988 for US$149.99 (equivalent to US$273 today),[20] which replaced both of the earlier two sets, and included the console, the NES Zapper, two game controllers, and a multicart version of Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt. The Action Set became the most successful of the packages released by Nintendo. One month later, in December 1988, to coincide with the release of the Power Pad floor mat controller, Nintendo released a new Power Set bundle, consisting of the console, the Power Pad, the NES Zapper, two controllers, and a multicart containing Super Mario Bros., Duck Hunt, and World Class Track Meet.[21] In 1990, a Sports Set bundle was released, including the console, an NES Satellite infrared wireless multitap adapter, four game controllers, and a multicart featuring Super Spike V'Ball and Nintendo World Cup.[22]

Two more bundle packages were released using the original model NES console. The Challenge Set included the console, two controllers, and a Super Mario Bros. 3 game pak. The Basic Set, first released in 1987, included only the console and two controllers with no pack-in cartridge. Instead, it contained a book called the The Official Nintendo Player's Guide, which contained detailed information for every NES game made up to that point. Finally, the console was redesigned for both the North American and Japanese markets as part of the final Nintendo-released bundle package. The console was released under the name Control Deck in North America and AV Family Computer in Japan. The package included the new style console and one redesigned "dogbone" game controller. Released in October 1993 in North America, this final bundle retailed for US$49.99 (equivalent to US$75 today), and remained in production until the discontinuation of the NES in 1995.[14]

I was banking on a comment more like: "Pffft...out of focus and over exposed. The compositional is horrible, too."

Sorry Brian, my internet was down for 4-5 days. I feel like I've let you down...

Its cool! you still got a chance to take a shot though.

[Tempest]

Fine. But I really don't have much.

1. Why aren't you in the picture instead of your sister?

2. Do you want some wine to go with that cheesy grin?

3. You were a cute little kid... What happened?

4. Do you still have that lamp? I think I saw one just like it go for $1200 bucks on Antique RoadShow.

Sorry, that's about all I've got...
