Man, the Game Genie made some of my most played out(or crappy) games playable again(or at all). Even the good ones that I had beaten a few times were like new once I popped this machination of God onto it.

Things were best when they had those offbeat codes that you could find in GamePro and eventually online(<3 Code Creators Club). I had a lot of fun with the 'Buzz-Buzz' code on EarthBound that prettymuch opened the game to you. Zelda LttP was pretty sweet too, playing through again with all the best stuff from the beginning, it was like a new game. I was always big on the RPG codes too, especially like in FFIII(SNES) where you could get Terra to use General Leo's skill 'Shock.'

Of course, it wasn't licensed, so LOOK OUT! Ooooohhh....! I've never had any problems stemming from it's use so far, and it's been what, 15 years?

I use to have one of those cleaners. Thought I was the man lol

[Areala]

Man enough to be using a pink Naki NES cleaning kit. That's pretty secure in one's manhood to my way of thinking.

The eliminator is right-handed or left-handed?

He could have had his own comic or videogame!

[Areala]

Much like Link in the original Legend of Zelda, the Eliminator is left-handed except when facing a certain direction, when he becomes right-handed.

I remember the eliminator. It was a piece of crap for us.

[crillin]

The Eliminator was replaced with Q-tips and rubbing alcohol at least for the games, for the system i just got a few sheets of card stock, folded one, applied rubbing alcohol and there you go, diy eliminator lol. also found a fix for the "left to right game shifting" when the system stopped working...kind of a pain but i just took apart the NES and bent the pins back to where they had a tighter grip on the cartridge leads. i know this is blasphemy for some (disemboweling the NES) but hey, it worked

Going through some boxes in my moms basement the other days found my eliminator still in the packaging

I got some more.  Still wish I could find a ROB Robot advertisement.

Wow, those ads are classic. I love them.

The knitting peripheral was shown at the Consumer Electronics Show in January 1987 and this is what I believe was the flyer.  They claimed this actually worked although Nintendo decided against it.

The Nintendo Advanced Video System was shown at the Consumer Electronics Show in 1985.  This was Nintendo's idea of an American home console that  was dropped.

This would have been better to post on April Fool's Day just to really confuse the hell out of everyone.  Such an odd peripheral to even consider launching in the US at a time when the system itself hadn't yet reached critical mass.
