I don't remember too much of how we got it, or when we got it as I was still under 5 years old... But I remember the NES being my first system, playing Mario, Duck Hunt and Super Off-Road with my dad was the Best. We had like 50 something games for it too from what I remember. Once I got a Sega Genesis, I believe I got it the year It came out, by then Dad stoped playing games... Also by then the NES was gone, that how they paid for the Sega. Let him play any game, that doesnt remind him of DEER HUNTER... He'll ask where is the ground at cause All I see is the sky... No joke... Then it was on to N64, then ps1 (the little grey one), Xbox, Xbox 360, PS2, then Xbox1. Never kept any PlayStations or the N64. As I only bought the Xbox's myself.
