i got my NES (not the famicom) on 24th Dec 1988 as X-mas gift, also as a reward after I score 5As and 2Bs in my UPSR

Still remember we went to Kuching Plaza (now a abandon ghost town) after our X-mas eve dinner, the only game shop there already rolling down their shutter.
But we managed to persuade him for one last deal for the day.

Cost my parent RM365 for it, with one free game.

Initially we want Contra, which is the hottest game of that time, but the shop doesn't allow it, too expensive he says. So we end up with a crappy game: Fist of North Star, which we only found out after a few years it's a pirated game pak

but still... i've finished the game for hundred of times, even thou it's crappy

UUDDLRLRABSTART who can forget that?

i completed contra for first time with the cheat, last time 3 lifes is just ain't enough for a beginner like me

but eventually after playing it for hundred of times, i can finish the whole game twice in a roll without losing a single life

but now... aduh~ playing back on DS and Wii already getting a continue screen on d first stage


another thing I remember the most is at my uber rich fren's house, where he show off his original gold color catridge, Legend of Zelda
we are all like... "omg! omg! omg! gold catridge!!!" and he doesn't even let us to touch it

it's also the first game to incorporate save game feature, where last time we have to write down the save game code in a piece of paper where it always got lost the worst will be playing some japanese games which their save game code is in jap, hard to see and hard to write

the name is mr vampire, if not mistaken, a great game imo

i played the original jap version, lost the password or wrote down wrongly a few time... then have to start all over again

learning the double kick and squat down is very helpful in this game
