The NES area tends to get a little over-romanticized, because there are definitely games in that era that did not age well. It also doesn't help that the system probably had the greatest amount of shovelware of any system, except maybe the PS2.

That said, Legend of Zelda, the Super Mario Bros. games, most of the Mega Man games, and several RPGs are still worth playing today. I would always play the Final Fantasy games on newer systems, if possible, since they fixed a lot of issues in the NES version (and FF2 actually becomes somewhat playable!).

I think we're seeing the same thing that led to the "I was born in the wrong era" dweebs who insist all music from the 60s was better. We're 30 years out from the NES's launch and now a lot of the titles that were average for their time have been forgotten, but the really good stuff is still remembered and it creates this false sense that that's representative of the console. Some games still hold up really well, but nobody gives a poo poo about stuff like Rad Racer 2 or Kung Fu Heroes even if they're not strictly bad. I wouldn't agree that it had the greatest amount of shovelware. If anything the advent of disc-based media made it way easier to churn out poo poo, so I feel like it has to be the something from/after the 32-bit era.

Jim Harbaugh was arguably more important to the Niners than Boogie was for the Kings, on the basis that the Niners actually managed to succeed while with him.

It's way beyond just Cousins. Trading Boogie was the culmination of a lotta terrible ideas.

Always courtesy flush with suspected food poisoning. Never know when you'll need to do a 180 and vomit.

I lost a good 5-10lbs last time I had food poisoning from just not eating for a few days. It owned.

Position a vomit bucket so that you can sit on the toilet and barf in the bucket simultaneously. Trying to time your about-faces to double-team the porcelain throne will end badly.

I once damaged my stomach lining so bad that I had to go on Prilosec. One thing about that medication is it makes you more prone to food poisoning, since your stomach isn't producing acid anymore. I once got it, and it lasted like 5 days of cramps, needing to go poo, then 20 minutes later the same thing.

Never take prilosec unless you absolutely have to. Because once you get on that stuff, it's hard to go off of it because you'll immediately get hit with a wave of the worst heartburn of your life as your body adjusts to making stomach acid again.

Sit backwards on the toilet and barf into the upper tank.

Edit, or just poo poo into the upper tank and barf into the bowl, but I bet you get more splash that way and that's just icky.

I think of every "great" game that was on NES generally had a sequel that improved upon the game. LttP was better than the original LoZ. Symphony of the Night was better than the original Castlevania. Super Metroid was better than Metroid. Metal Gear Solid was better than Metal Gear. Final Fantasies 4-6 were better than 1-3. While each of these games were great and worth playing, the sequels do better.

The only exception is Super Mario Bros. 3, since that stands out on it's own.

I'm slowly cleaning out my parents' attic so they can move out of their albatross of a house and I found my old sports cards today.

'91 Fleer Football looked like rear end and I think I have a full set of the '93 gameday cards they gave out at McDonalds.

Back in 04 I think it was, there were three hurricanes that all hit pretty close to my parents house and they called to ask me if I had any possessions in my room they should protect from water damage and flooding. I had them get my baseball cards and 1992 complete Dream Team Set including the holographic and plastic special team card and a few comic books. I wonder how little they are worth now compared to what I thought they would be worth.

I just hucked 4 boxes into recycling, but I found a Trent Dilfer Rookie Sensation card that I've now taped to my door.

I got a couple of boxes of hockey cards that some store was literally throwing away because strangely no one in Kansas City wanted to buy hockey cards in the early 90s. Scored several Pavel Bure rookie cards which I just looked up and might be valued as high as $4.00 a piece! Woo!

I'm pretty sure I have multiple copies of the Dan McGwire rookie card, Topps Stadium Club, because he was about to be the next hot thing.
