| 34.1 | possible place to buy | HBO::SWARTZ | | Mon Dec 14 1987 12:44 | 4 |
| I was up at Pheasant Lane late last week and Entertainment Warehouse
just got a new order of the basic system in. Try giving them a
call; they may reserve one for you. Don't know there number but
if you have trouble finding it call the Mall's management number.

Ames, in Peterbourgh NH had them on the shelf Saturday
the 12th. They were on sale though for $79.99 so it
would be worth it to call first.

LaMere of Westboro has them on sale this week for $78.99.
I call the store yesterday and the clerk told me they will
be in on Wednesday. Check with them.
LaMere

| 34.8 | Try Caldor's | AIS11::VINDICI | It's the Journey, Not the Destination | Thu Dec 17 1987 14:53 | 6 |
| I purchased mine last week at Caldor's in Bedford, NH. They had about 15 of
them on sale at $79.88. Maybe there's a Caldor's closer to your location.
Good luck!

| K-Mart has certain NES catridges on sale for 19.88 this
week. Unfortunately, I didn't get the ad until yesterday and the
sale started Wed. It continues until Tuesday. Even if they do
sell out, they'll probably issue rainchecks.
They didn't mention any specific games, but the ad picture had
Baseball, 10 yard fight and others.
Happy hunting.

| 34.12 | THE best selection | SCOMAN::BARNES | | Sat May 14 1988 11:53 | 7 |
| I bought my control deck and most of my cartridges at TOYS 'R' US
in Auburn. I've found that they have the best prices and the best
selection of all the places I've tried (and I've tried quite a few).

| < Cheap Game Prices? >
I just picked up ZELDA for $30.00 new at Rietta Ranch Flea Market.
This guy is there every week and had (at least I thought) great
prices on new and average prices on used games. He also had a good
selection. Rietta Ranch is located on Rt 68 Hubberdston Mass and
is only open on sundays (very crowded by 10:00 am)

I would like to purchase a Nintendo system for my husband
for his birthday. It's not til July, so I have time if I
need to mail order.
The question is: What is the best price you can find on
a NES, where, and when can I get it?

| What are the Nintendo systems going for now? I'm real naive when it
comes to Nintendo. There are different types of Nintendo setups,
aren't there? Could someone please list approximate (and current)
prices of the various sets?
We are thinking of getting a Nintendo system for our daughter for
Christmas but it would probably be smarter to buy it before mid-fall.
I'd like to know the approximate amount we're going to have to dish out
for this so I can start saving for it now.
Thanks!

| 34.18 | Make sure you get a game! | BCSE::WEIER | | Mon Jul 23 1990 09:40 | 11 |
| Kristy,
The most common system is probably the one with the 2 controllers
and the gun. It's debatable whether or not the gun is worth it - there
aren't a lot of games for it. Anyway, with 2 controllers, the nintendo
deck, the gun and Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt, it should cost about
$100.00.
Best buy is probably Lechmere because -- if you can find it cheaper
anywhere else, they'll refund the difference. Child World is pretty
good as well.

| 34.19 | Gun - Maybe . . . SMB - Yes! | STRAIT::WALTON | kerjillions of stars. . . | Mon Jul 23 1990 10:04 | 26 |

Re: .17, .18
Kristy,
There are three types of Nintendo base systems:
basic set - Game Pak and 2 Controllers for about $80
Action Set - basic set plus Light Gun and Super Mario Brothers/Duck Hunt
cartridge.
Somethingorother Set - Action Set plus Power Pad ( a pad that you jump
up and down on to control the game ) and the addition of
a Track and Field game on the SMB/DH cartridge.
While I agree that the light gun is not really worth it, the fact that
you get Super Mario Brothers with the "Action Set" makes it a good buy.
SMB is definately a classic Nintendo game and a lot of fun. In my opinion
the Power Pad is useless. Its novelty will wear off quickly, especially
for adults, but may take a little longer for kids.
Since you have found this notes file, I'd suggest you read up on a game
before buying, it can save you mucho $$$ in cartridges that just gather
dust.

| 34.20 | Not necessarily a gamepack! | BCSE::WEIER | | Tue Jul 24 1990 14:51 | 11 |
| Dave and Kristy ...
It is no longer true that you automatically get games with the NES.
BE CAREFUL! A friend of mine just bought one and got the set and
that's all. No Mario Bros. They are intentionally marketing them
without games - probably so that you can get them cheaper. So watch
out and double check that you really DO get a gamepack with it.
... I like the power pad, not nuts about the gun. All a matter of taste I
guess.
|
| 34.21 | | WECARE::KRISTY | Rock-n-roll Woobie | Tue Jul 24 1990 16:08 | 8 |
| We ended up purchasing the Action Set, complete with Super Mario
Bros/Duck Hunt for $100.00 at Kay-Bee in the Pheasant Lane Mall. They
also have a fair amount of games on sale for around $10-25 or so...
Now I'm off to the Classified Ads note to see if I can find any other
games that we'd like... Thanks for all the help!
