i'm sure you could find any number of people on this board who would sprinkle your lawn for free.

If this is a real topic, then I got some great deals on old school NES/SNES games the other day on eBay. My fiancee and I have finally gotten our hands on a working NES (her family won't give up the one they have, and understandably so), so now we're working on a "greatest hits" collection for each of those systems. If you think that's cool, then you are a-ok in my book. If you think that is not cool, then I feel sorry for your inner child.

Can't you just buy most of those and play them on the Wii?

edit : I'm pretty sure this is fake topic in response to the stolen sprinkler.

The best case is to play them on the PC, where you can use a much more powerful CPU with a good 2D upscaler, which turns old NES,Genesis, SNES games from

You can buy some of the classics (Mario, Zelda, etc) on the Virtual Console. But Battletoads (created by Rare, which is now owned by Microsoft), or Bionic Commando, or other great are unlikely to ever grace the VC.

If you need to sharpen the detail on Super Mario Bros to derive pleasure from playing it, then...
