How old is your NES console?
How many hours of play does it have (estimate)?
Wow, after thinking about it, mine must have 1200+ hours of play
after owning it for 17 months. That's an average of 2.3 hours a day.
I think the longest that I ever played non stop was 6 hours (The
legend of Zelda).
The shortest was I turned on the game, decided that I didn't want
to play and shut it off, roughly 3.6 seconds.
Can you give your stats?
Ron.

| 292.1 | til I fat thumb my last life! | WLDWST::DRAKE | Thu Jun 29 1989 13:56 | 9 | |
I've had mine about 3years and have about 2400 hours of playing
time. This include the time off between jobs when I was unemployed
and nights we played until visual distortion set in or we were so
tired that we were FAT THUMBING every other critical situation!8^)
I've played about 8-10 hous max and about 5 minutes min. when the
thing would jip in baseball with bloopers into the gap and my guys
doing the dummy dance!

| 292.2 | Never turn it off! | RAVEN1::TIMMONS | Fri Jun 30 1989 17:32 | 14 | |
We've had ours over three years. Very often my son will keep playing
the same game for 2 or more weeks and never turn it off, just pause
it and start again the next day. Often other kids in the neighbor-
hood play it when he is doing something else, (like long lines).
About six months ago some games would not play. I took it apart
and found that the connector that the game board goes into is "U"
shaped, and fits onto the system board. This means that if you
push a game in real hard, you push the connector away from the
game board. I cleaned the contacts, but, the trick we learned
was that when a game, doesn't work, don't push it in harder, pull
it out slightly.

| 292.3 | I dont use mine | GUCCI::HERB | Wed Jul 12 1989 23:15 | 9 | |
I was was one of the first people to buy the nintendo with the robot.
I have all the old games. Unlike most people my nintendo sits upstairs
collecting dust. Probaly cause I bought a amiga. Too bad you can
not program your on games on a nintendo. My shortes games was about
2.5636 seconds because I was playing nintedo basball and heard the
music for the 1,000,000th time and got sick.

There is a company in Calif. coming out with a card that plugs into
the NES and the serial line of an IBM-PC. They have a compiler
for the PC that compiles games for the NES and down loads them
so you can test the new games without burning ROMs. I will try
to contact the company for info and start a new note if I get
info.
