I wonder how many NES/SNES/N64/GB boxes were dumped over the years.

I’ve gotten comfortable opening those old televisions up and cleaning the insides with a toothbrush and air compressing all the dirt/dust away. I haven’t needed to swap in new capacitors yet.

Do those same capacitors still exist? My last soldering work was 9 years ago. and I'm pretty stoked with the advancement there is with new soldering tools and method since I am pretty oldskool.

Been watching lots of repair vids and it seems they’re smaller now but produce the same results with much more longevity

I was nowhere near interested in Xbox due to being a PS1/PS2 fanboy, lol. I’ve got one now and it’s pretty cool play. It helps me that the thrift stores sell the games for $2-$4 and are easily available.
Edit: Forgot to mention I picked up an in box Wii bowling ball accessory with AMF world lanes game still sealed. Shoot, I opened up the ball and it had an og Wii remote inside the previous owner forget to take out, lol. Not bad for $4.50
Get my Al Bundy on in the living room

Cool. Is nostalgia one of them? I have that going on for the older 80s consoles I’ve yet to pick up. Got games for them ready once I cop.

For the "m" word. I never really played it when I was younger.

Not every one, like mentioned the classic sports games. Games like Escape from Butcher Bay. There is a way for the Series X to play them though,

That’s a good size collection of consoles. I’m still trying to get a Colecovision, Atari 5200 and a Sega Master System. They’re about $100-$130 each used but I’m always looking for them at the thrift stores trying to catch a deal.
You should get a PS1 since they’re still inexpensive. I have the “slim” version but I’d much rather have the og style one for the aesthetic reason.
