The Sharp NES TV

DK — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 18:42:53 +0000

The Sharp Nintendo NES System was released in 1989 and was noted for having a clearer picture than the original NES. This is a Nintendo Entertainment System made by Nintendo specifically for the Sharp Television. It came with 2 NES controllers and either in black or red. Sharp and Nintendo worked together with the NES and later with the SNES. I just heard about this system today when we came across some of the controllers and I didn't know what they were. We will have them out for sale on the site soon. http://www.dkoldies.com/Nintendo-NES-Controllers-s/25.htm

DKOldies.com reviews everything related to gaming and video games. This review is about your local gaming store, whatever it may be.

Let's face it, online stores are taking over and sending local mom and pop game shops into the stone ages. If your lucky and still have one of these landmarks in your town you should treat your self and tale a visit.

I love local game stores and am not talking about Gamestop, that place is a shell of a gaming store. I'm talking about the family owddcstlres out there keeping the old games alive.

If you own or have a favorite store post a comment and let everyone know who they are.

Use Nintendo Controllers on your FC Systems

DK — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 17:44:07 +0000

There are new Nintendo systems being made today to play old NES, SNES and Genesis games. The systems are great becase they allow you to play multiple system's games on one console. The problem is the controllers that come with the system are just average and do not bring back the memories like playing with an original Nintendo or Genesis controller.

The good news is these systems are compatable with the original controllers and are not expensive. Here I will list which controllers go with which systems.

FC Twin system
-NES & SNES Games
-SNES Controllers
-FC light gun

The FC Twin will play original NES games and SNES games. It uses SNES controller (SNES) ports so you can swap the FC controllers for the original Super Nintendo controllers. To play light gun games like Duck Hunt or Hogans Alley you must use the FC made light gun made with SNES ports and you can not use the NES light gun. The FC gun is sold seperatley and works well.

FC3 System
-NES, SNES & Genesis Games
-Sega Genesis Controllers
-FC3 light gun

The FC3 is 3 systems in 1 and can play NES, SNES, and Genesis games. It uses Genesis controller ports so you can swap the FC3 controllers for the original Genesis 3 button or 6 button controllers. To play light gun games like Duck Hunt or Hogans Alley you must use the FC3 made light gun and you can not use the NES light gun. The good news is this gun is bundled new with the system and works well.

GN Twin System
-NES & Genesis Games
-Sega Genesis Controllers
-FC3 light gun

The GN Twin is 2 systems in 1 and can play Nintendo NES and Sega Genesis games. It uses Genesis controller ports so you can swap the FC3 controllers for the original Genesis 3 button or 6 button controllers. Like the FC3, to play light gun games like Duck Hunt or Hogans Alley you must use the FC3 made light gun and you can not use the NES light gun. The FC3 light gun is sold seperatley and works well.
