Question

I recently bought a US FAMCOM in original factory wrapping at a gaming store for $30. I also bought my first RPG I ever played some 15 odd years ago for a mere $4. Overjoyed I hooked up the system and unfortunately the used copy was long burned out past its time No luck in ever finding this game for the NES, guess I gotta get a game boy advance just to play it :*(

Anything like this ever happen to anyone?

Why not search for another copy or just try to find a rom on i-net and play via pc+emulator?

Yeah, if I'm not mistaken, if you own the original copy, which you do, then using a backup in .rom form would be a legitimate avenue. I recomend nesticle.

Playing emulated games on a rom with your PC just isn't like playing it on the console with your TV.

It just doesn't feel the same.
What's the name of the game you bought anyway? I have a Gamestop nearby that has LOADS of used Nintendo games, perhaps I can find it around there.
