Nintendo DS Lite Metallic Rose
$129.99
I was very pleased with the Nintendo DS that I purchased. This was a used item, but it works just like new. I was happy to find that it was in excellent condition and came with a nice protective case with space for games, etc. My daughter who is 11 loves playing her games and I have a couple of games that I enjoy as well!

Nintendo NES System - Video Game Console
$459.99
When I was growing up I didn't have an NES. I went straight from an Atari 7800 to the Tandy PC (DOS 3.1) and didn't look back until recently. Having seen a bunch of the classic games I finally decided to give the NES a try. I ordered the console with some games that were critically acclaimed, and checked it out.

I was surprised to find that the console connects to the cable input, like the Atari of my childhood. Having seen nothing but RCA cables in consoles since, it was interesting to see again. The games come on very large cartridges, as big as my hand outstretched if not slightly larger. Sometimes the games wouldn't work, the picture wouldn't come in right, so I'd have to work at it. It turns out that the console has springs that make it easier to remove/insert the game, but they get worn after a while. So sometimes I have to shove the cartridge a bit harder to get the game to play than I would if the console were new.

The controllers are simple, just a rectangle with 2 main buttons, 2 menu buttons, and a D-pad. It's just a rectangle too. Nothing like the ergonomic controllers we see today. But to be honest, it feels just as comfortable as a modern controller, and I like it.

The games are rendered in 8-bit, both in video and audio. That doesn't stop the games from being great, though. I am aware that there is a huge library of games that I haven't played, good and bad, but the three I tried were Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Brothers, and Contra. I gotta say I love them all in a different way, but I'm most partial to Contra. It's one of the hardest games I ever played (30-life code notwithstanding) but satisfying.

Overall, if you haven't had the chance to play an NES, I'd definitely check it out. It's not a perfect console and none of the features of a modern console are present, but if you call yourself a gamer you have to know more about the NES.

Nintendo DS Lite Crimson / Black
$129.99
I love this so much, they say" your only a kid once" HA, Hee.
I swear, I'm still a kid at heart I'm 43yrs. I have my Nintendo Ds because I asked for one for x-mas. I know,but but every niece in my family asked for one why not me too. So on the 12-26-08 I got this game so I can play it on my nieces Ds's only with there permission & a promise to re-charge it when I'm done. And on my birthday this year. On Feb I got a crimson red one I wanted the silver. But it was the best gift ever. I now own 9 games, so far. I love puzzles which I'm doing the reviews on this site. I love a good mystery-Million Heir,My Weight Coach, My Word Coach, ClubHouse Games is a real great games to play like bowling,darts,cards,Zenses,Rainforest,Word master if you like anagrams,USA TODAYS-PuzzleCraze,Cross WorDS more puzzles,& similar to pinball game Labyrinth.
What I love about this size & games to go with, When I'm stuck at the train station,air port,grocery store,hospital,even at the mall,in the car if you have an adapter, or even at a friends house during at dinner if there is nothing to talk about. You can always pull it out start playing. My mom says "I swear your just as bad as the kids when they tune me out." I look up and reply I got a strike (in bowling) "Did you say something" ??? I did hear her,so I just close the game and listen. When she's done back to my bowling.
