The socket fully engages with it pressed down, an original unmodified nes in new condition won’t play games in the up position.

It’s been decades since I used a NES but I recall games not working until they were pressed down. 

Even in the states, I had been playing my c64 for years before the NES came out, and I didn't actually get one till like 87. The C64 and then amiga were way more of a big deal to many of us even stateside. I did have an Atari 2600 which was my first console, so I do I have a lot of 4-9 year old nostalgia for that as…

I wasn’t a zunehead by any means, but I never understood the Zune hate either. It was a pretty good device for its time.

The NES was barely a thing in the UK.*

Marcus Lehto (of Halo fame) has a studio working on what is ostensibly being touted as a single-player Battlefield experience - I’m hopeful that it’s something in the vein of Bad Company 1 and 2.

They slide into the front of the system, and then the user has to press the cartridge down so its brass-plated nickel connectors hit the cartridge slot’s connector pins

They did? I remember playing microcomputers in the 80's. MSX, Commodore 64. Then there where the 16 bits computers Amiga. And then the 20 bits (errh.) of ms-dos games and windows.

Was always better than the ipod. 

Responding to me has the same effect. Oh no. So does this response! Damn it. 

Couldn’t you have used a picture of a real NES for the lede image for an article about the importance of the original NES?

Hey, I would take a “new” old Zune HD!

It was deliberate, he announced it himself in all-staff mail back when Zenimax was acquired.

Gach wrote about the gatcha gotcha, even!

And if you absolutely want porn as a game, there are a ton of amateur or semi-amateur porn games that cost between nothing and “nothing, but pls support my patreon.”

It’s like they only see players as walking wallets!

Based on the art, I believe this game’s name was changed from its earlier title of “Balloon Smugglers: Renegade Gravity”

And in the case of games like this? Just go watch porn guys. It's so much easier.
