The old DELL workstation I stole from my old job went tits up, so the wife and I spent some of our tax return to replace it and her aging laptop so she has a thing to DO WORK on and a thing the kids can DO HOMEWORK on.
Its nothing fancy, but its got a 1TB hard drive, 8 gigs of RAM, and a touch screen monitor. And HOLY BALLS the CD drive is flimsy as heck. Good thing it’ll probably never get used.
Took 2 damn hours to set it up thanks to Windows 10 upgrades and whatnot.
While I waited I went through her old milk crate of NES goodness and unearthed some gems:
$9.99... any offers? No idea if it works, the damn NES is MISSING the power pack/cord.
It might be at her grandma’s house, or its gone AWOL. I really want to play Super Mario 3, dammit. Maybe I’ll hit up eBay today and see what I can get one for.

“Dude you’re getting an HP” doesn’t have the same #engagement though

Just the power cord? That’s a very easy replacement, it’s probably 9V or 12V and a standard-sized barrel plug thingy, there’s probably a real term for that. In my house I suspect I’d find one in my Giant Bin of Wires from some other dead electronic gizmo that would work....

Hard drives suck. I hate that every cheaper computer still has that garbage.
Also, AIOs are so freaking annoying to try to maintain. Might as well get a laptop or a white box that you can upgrade.
Lastly: I bet you can download and run these on an emulator.

Yeah they’re like $5 on eBay. I might just order one.

I think my NES and games all got sold in a garage sale.

That Zelda looks in pretty good condition. You could probably sell it for $30 or so on eBay.
