No doubt. Its still one of my favorite computer systems. And not only because of the nostalgie. :)

Just as NES will always be my favorite console:

Still playing some games like Contra, for example.

BTW, you can play them free on-line, in your browser: http://www.virtualnes.com/

Hmm... Dunno. Its working for me. You got Java installed?
And if still no luck try open it in Internet Explorer. I had a few problems with some games in Firefox.

i had one, mine actually ran on AA size batteries ( maybe it was a copy, but the game looked and worked the same)

that wouldnt have been too hard!

I had one of these, my friends had game boy and game gear so it was kinda hard to swap games with only a few people having one!
