HI grouplooking to go back and play an old game. I was hooked on the goonies that was on play choice 10 machines. From reading it looks like it was a game cartridge for japan only?

However i see some reproductions on the first one VS THE GOONIES listed on ebay. Does this mean I can get that game to play here in the states now?? If so what system do i need to run it?? Thanks, Jeff

The Goonies I was only released in Japan, but it has been converted to the NES. Remember, Japan uses NTSC-J, we use NTSC. They are compatible with each other.

The only thing you need to run this is the reproduction carts you saw, and a regular toaster nes. Lots of Japanese games are available now through reproductions.

Drawing is a great idea. I got my system and it works well. Goonies is coming today..I was 22 when this came out on coin op. never had an nes etc. I did have the original pong when i was a kid.. And miss pinball machines very much.!!!

I want to get a new controller. Which is the best for the orig. nes. I see a few on ebay, one has an extended cord which I like..Plus a new 72 connector for 15.99 n 5 ship..Does this sound like a good idea??

I am more concerned with the quality. I never owned one before. Am I allowed to post a link to the ebay auction on the forum???? Maybe you can look and see what you think about it??Where do you live ??I think minimum wage is around 10 dollars an hr. here. that would be 400.00 per wk. Someone making 1000 per wk. may have some college behind them..
