How frequent is that usage though? Plus the more often you swap carts or leave one in it, the more you bend the pins. 
Nice sprite BTW. |

My NES works fine, after a bit of tweaking and sometimes cleaning the connections on the carts. As for what YD said about the save batteries, LttP's the only one I have trouble with, but I think that's more because the board is loose within the cart.. Usually have to tilt it just right for it to even play. One reason I was happy for the GBA port of it 
Anyway, back on freaking topic, Xk make a good little pixelly NES. Hooray. |

Obviously they regularly used it as a ball for their soccer games.
Old things break down. I got my NES when I was a baby, but it had to be repaired a few times. This hasn't happened in about seven years though.
The batteries in a few of my SNES games are dying. My files get randomly erased. The 308 deaths of beating LttP will live on in my memory.  |

OR, you replace the 72-pin connector. pretty easy to do if you have the replacement. (search google for dustin's 8-bit repair center) Nice picture BTW. looks good. |

Or you take the thing apart and adjusts them with a screwdriver. Or you buy a new one.
Or you convert your console into a top loader one (some have done that).
And yeah, it is nice. I would love to see a NES cart too, that would own. Especially for my own NES ROM collection.  |

Off Topic: The 'Old One' isn't entirely useless when the pins get messed up. Unplug it from the power, then poke the pins with a long, thin object. Push them up and down. It got mine to work, slightly more... |

That's ecause that's the top-loader version they came out with later to replace the older version.
They also had bone-shaped controllers (much like SNES ones)
Personally, the old one (despite the flaw that renders it useless after a while) is much better than the top loader  |

It looks very good. The weird thing is my NES doesn't look like that... It looks more like this...

Wow, nice pics. I like the last version most of them. 
That sig or whatever it is reminds me of a quiz. |

To see the version I blatantly copied off of looked at while drawing my own (and stole the gradient and made a slight modification to):
Mine's smaller though |

I like the second one much better 
Looks good with the shiny edges, much less harsh looking than the black edges, too But the black outline still ensures that it will look good on any background  |

Cute!
Looks better against the red background I'm currently typing in though
I don't have a NES, and never had one so I can't tell you how accurate it is (I can't think what a NES even looks like.. please forgive me!) but it looks good to me.
Only possible critique -- make the internal lines a different color than black, maybe a dark grey, or a white on one edge to show a shiny highlight! |

I was bored.
(added blockquote so those with layouts on can see the entire thing and not just the colors) |
