Geekery in General 229: Nintendo Player's Guide
Monday Mar 18, 2019
Monday Mar 18, 2019
Remember when the 8-bit NES was king? And if you knew all the secrets and tricks you were the coolest kid on the schoolyard? Al remembers those days. Well, he doesn't ever remember being the coolest kid on the schoolyard but he does remember when knowing a cheat code or how to beat that annoying boss on level 5 could win you a few friends. In this episode Al reviews the Nintendo Player's Guide, a big black book with all sorts of useful information.
NOTE: This episode was completely off the cuff and unplanned. I mention the book being a pack in with some of the Nintendo sets. I might be wrong on that.

Al has a love/hate relationship with plug and play games. In this episode he takes a look at an unmarked, unbranded plug and play he picked up at a thrift store for a whopping 53 cents! The only thing lower than the price are his expectations.
