    I'm only 10 years older than these kids, and I remember having an NES (actually we had 2). The games were mostly too hard for me, but I played LOZ 1 & 2, Mario 1-3, Duck Hunt, Ice Hockey, TMNT I & II, Faxandu, Ironsword, Gyromite, Double Dragons & Gauntlet.

    I was born in 1990. These kids do not know what the duck is pressure when you are 8 and your brother keeps yelling at you because you can't get past the stupid funking stage of Battletoads that has you on a water ski over lava. That scarred me for life. My oldest brother was ten years older than me so I grew up with Nes, SNES, and N64. The greatest accomplishment is beating my second oldest in Moratl Kombat 2. Those are the events that turn boys into men.

    A couple of things: nobody remembers this but the legend of zelda when it first came out (and I mean the first week it came out) the box was a metallic gold, and it cost like 50 dollars back then, and when you got the game home, nobody knew how to play it. It was just link in the middle of a desert. LOL

    Some people returned the game because they were like this sucks! lol

    That's not the worst. I remember buying the spawn game for 80 dollars. I was like eight and saved for months to buy the Spawn game on SNES and when I finally had enough, I get home and find that not only is the hard, the game is impossible to beat. It's a broken game that unless you have cheat codes, the game is broken. I played that games for months and never made it passed the third level.

    I'm only 27 myself, I got my nintendo when I was 6.

    Most of these kids were born in the late 90's. Was anybody really rocking the Nintendo around 2003, because I sure as hell didn't know anybody who was.

    The booklet that comes with the game tells you how to find your first sword & the first 2 dungeons, with a map, and had lots of other information.

    Almost everybody had the gold cartridge. The grey didn't come out until much later.

    These "kids/old people react" videos are lame. And there have to be at least 100 of them.

    aren't you only 10 years older than these kids?

    also, I wasn't referring to the cartridge, I was referring to the box.

    one thing you do have in common with these kids is you think you know everything like they do.

    Legend of Zelda was the only customized cartridge for the NES. Part of the reason they did it was cuz the game bombed in Japan and they wanted to make it stand out more with the US release.
