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.

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.

There are the details on the 3 most popular New combo systems and you can now upgrade them with the right original accessories.

NES games blinking? Do you think your Nintendo Entertainment System is broken? Try this fail proof gaming fix from DKOldies.com and it’s so simple, anyone can do it.

Put your game in the console deck as normal and push the power button in, if it blinks, then you just completed phase one of the plan. Good job!

Alright now, here it is. While the console is on and blinking, with the game inserted in the machine, move the game around ever so slightly to the left, right, forward or back as needed until you see the title screen appear blinking on your TV screen. Once it appears and is blinking stop moving the cartridge and  and just hit the reset button and it works! That’s it. I told you it was simple.

Every game has a different sweet spot. So each game may need to be moved differently. All your need to do is link the metal pins in your console to the metal pins in the game properly and blamo. NES 8-bit fun like is waz 1985!
