    I bought a used NES and thought the pins needed replacing. I could only get half my games to work sometimes. After watching Rick do his magic I learned the ancient technique to getting the pins to line up; you need to pull the cartridge out just slightly so that its right up against the front wall of the slot. All my games work now, just saved me so much trouble and money. Thank you, Rick 🙏

    As someone who grew up with a Sharp TV until the year 2000 (I'm dead serious, this was the MAIN TV, and it was NOT a big TV, below 20 inches, probably around 15) I can vouch for that brand. I had my absolute best gaming moments on that TV, and it had mono sound, lol. No SCART, NES was over RF, and the N64 used the right audio channel. It was legitimately awesome.

    My friend had one of these. Black controllers and all like 20 years ago use to play it all the time. Weird that now it’s a collector’s item. But it is really cool. The feet on the base acted like a place to set your controllers down when not in use. Also these were only available at hotels originally. So getting one was mostly because you knew someone when the hotel upgraded their tv’s.

But the lady was taking offers only and my buddy said he'd offer $500 at the time and she never called him back. She was even calling game stores asking what they would pay. I was at a GameStop and the phone rang and the clerk was confused about a Nintendo TV set they where asking what they would pay for. lol

    You might find this #NES #retro fact interesting: Zelda 2 NES released in '89 in NA. But...at different months for Canada vs the US. US was December & Canada was late August. I know because I have the Canadian release. It was my 1st dual language release. Box & manual are both in English/French. Need to find & show my copy one day.

    I somehow find it equally interesting that there's a comic book store that also sells vintage toys, vintage home video, and retro videogames. Wow.
    (5:39) "it's pretty Sharp" 😳
    (For context, I have more of an interest in comics than videogames, but then RUclips recommended this video to me and I couldn't help but to watch it)
    (11:27) If I were to go there, that spinner rack would be one of the first things I'd walk up to, since my reading interests are more towards all ages and children's stuff, though in reality, i tend to go for more obscure stuff and indie comics.

    There’s an awesome documentary on this thing on RUclips, I just watched it last month. I wanna say it was about $600 originally but didn’t sell well so Kmart took all the units and sold them for around $400. If I remember correctly.

    If you’re ever in Georgia on the south side of Atlanta there’s a store I go to all the time called Full Circle Toys in Newnan Georgia. They have a separate store in the back for retro games. The prices have gone up but the store is so cool.

    That Zelda Map is from the first issue of Nintendo Power - you could probably find an issue with the map for $70 or so. Such a cool store - I would have dropped so much coin at that store. Probably wouldn't have bought the Sharp TV though - such a neat piece of history to have. I'm sure he'll get a ton of enjoyment out of it.

    I saw one in person in an old Kmart in Hudson WI once back in the 90s wen they were closing. I think it was only for display even though they probably could have sold it at that point in the company's lifetime.
