Resident Evil Canvas Bag
A messenger bag designed for holding a console or small laptop if you wish. There is an inner pocket with padding to protect your electronics and plenty of room for accessories and games.

Customer Reviews

A recommendation I sent someone else - edited and reposted here.
I found a post where someone was looking for a used NES, I wrote this for them. I've edited it down from my original message to the curious to remove my reviews of other systems and recommendations on how to spruce up an original system. Before I get to the review, this clone system is awesome, I've never had a problem with it. There's only two negative - 1 the included controls have stiff directional controls, I recommend original controls or better after market ones over the included ones which are still serviceable. 2 - it grips the cartridges rather well and it's really light, getting the games out takes both hands and attentive removal. I have bought another one since Ike, so I'm on my second, my first filled up with salt water so I can't hold that against the unit. On with the recommendation I wrote to someone else almost a year ago:

I'm not sure of your motivation for looking for an original NES, I'm guessing for playing the games. If that's the case I've done lots of research and even some testing and I have suggestions. If it's for colectors/nostalgia value then I'm on the wrong track, I also have a tip for an original.

I'm going to recommend a specific clone over an orginal, for several reasons:

1. New without the problems of used - reliability
2. Newer components, less power usage.
3. Easier / cheaper to get.

There's one I want to recommend.

The first one, is the one I bought (then Ike took) which is the absolute best for compatibility. It plays NES and SNES games flawlessly, and it is actually made with the same chips or updated replacement chips as the original, the Retro Duo.

This works with the Game Genie (for both systems) and other accessories a lot of the "Famiclones" don't. It supports SVideo and stereo RCA, however the SVideo doesn't work with the NES side so you're better off just using the RCA jacks. The only downfall of this particular system (where the NES side is concerned) is that it only accepts SNES controlls. On NES games the X and Y buttons become turbo buttons. Not a problem in my case, but it will be an issue if you want to play Duck Hunt or World Class Track Meet/use the Power Glove etc. The compact second version of the real SNES had a couple of weird video problems on a couple of games and this one uses the second version chips. Be careful if you chose this system, there is an older model called the FC Twin which is alright and looks exactly the same, but it is not made with the original chips like the Retro Duo is but is easier to find but has the compatibility problems the other clones have.

Most clones, with the exception of the Retro Duo have a problem with a hand full of games.

There are litterally hundreds of "Famiclones" NES knock offs out there, these are the best two in my opinion. (reference to the other edited out for this review) Judges have ruled in the US they're legal to make since Nintedo's patent is up and they don't make them for us anymore - Nintendo wasn't happy with this ruling but I don't see where it hurts them since they don't support the systems anymore anyways. If you look at other clones, which I somewhat advise against, due to questions of quality, avoid any with built in games. The games are copywrited and the knock offs with games (that aren't home-brew games) are actually pirated, as a consumer you're probably safe anyways, but there have been federal busts/raids against warehouses/sellers of pirated game versions. I personally like to stay on the up and up.

Great for the gamer in all of us
For anybody that is thinking of getting this i think it is a great idea. I enjoyed the super nintendo and the NES when i was younger and when i saw this i jumped. It has two controllers and it hooks up via rca jacks like you dvd player does. It has i shiny red finish, and has a toggle switch the middle for off and up for NES and down for SNES games. Some improvements for it though would be a eject button like the original super because the game are hard to get out of it, but other than that i think its a great buy.

NES Support Lacking
This unit outputs S-Video and composite video simultaneously. NES output will be black and white if using S-Video, so for NES you must use the composite video. For SNES, either video output may be used. Additionally, the audio from NES games may become distorted or have some channels discarded if it is connected to a surround sound system: running the audio through your TV or setting your reciever/sound card to 2-channel input should correct this. However, for some NES games the audio may not sound as it did on the original hardware. One game in particular that has audio problems is Startropics II: Zoda's Revenge. This is typical for one-chip (system-on-chip/SoC) solutions. Also the NES slot-reader is very tight and you should be careful when inserting and removing NES cartridges.

Retro Duo Twin Video Game System NES & SNES - Silver & Black
If you have any NES or SNES games, this is the unit for you. It is more convenient than having one of each unit. I realize that there are a lot newer game systems out there, but there are still a lot of people who like NES. If so, then this unit is for you.

Retro Duo Twin Video Game System NES & SNES - Silver & Black
This is the best thing that has happened in the video game industry. A company that keeps the classics alive. The Retro Duo Twin Video Game System is a must have for any video game player. What is next? A console that comes with multiple controllers and has multiple cartridge/cd/dvd/bluray inputs built into it to allow any video game? Nice!

old school gamming is back
Well, had it for about a week now and everything works fine, seems to be a solid machine. Being able to play both NES and SNES is a plus.
Sure the new systems are great, but getting back to the good 'ol Nintendo is a fresh breath. Great games like Mario, Double dragon, and Mortal Kombat just can't be beat. The best thing is, if you lost broken or just gave those old games away, thanks to Amazon, you can get them real cheap, used of course.
Brings back some great button smashing memories. If you have kids, good thing is they'll enjoy it just as much, and you don't have to worry about them destroying your more expensive game consoles.
Grab one, you'll be glad you did.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description

Rooms: The Main Building is a single player puzzle game for Nintendo DS/DSi that challenges players to find their way out of a confusing world of more than 100 2D rooms that are inexplicably jumbled into tiled segments. The game utilizes a sliding tile game mechanic to move through these settings, as well as a set of special items like ladders or phones that can be overlaid on the play area to bypass problematic areas. Additional features include a level editor, and the ability to share levels with other players over a Nintendo Wi-Fi connection. Rooms Like None You Have Ever Seen In Rooms: The Main Building players walk into a mystery like none they have ever experienced. An invitation abruptly arrived at your doorstep diverts you to the entrance of a world that is physically scrambled, yet filled with mystic beauty. In that world, you need to reach the exit by sliding the pieces of rooms in the same way as a slide puzzle. At the same time you must use fantastic devices to navigate through each of these rooms. The solution is only a doorstep away. Getting there is the easy part. Finding a way home will be the adventure. Sliding tile puzzle play. View larger. Gameplay Rooms: The Main Building is a point-and-click puzzle game that utilizes the classic sliding tile puzzle mechanic to challenge the player to move through a gameworld made up of more than 100 rooms that have been inexplicably rearranged. To escape these rooms players use the DS stylus or their finger to click on the blank areas next to the section of the room that your character is in. This shifts your character to that section. But think ahead and plan accordingly to avoid problem areas or circumstance that may block your path. In addition to spatially oriented thinking, special items can also help you through your journey. For instance, use a ladder to climb vertically to a new room section, or teleport to entirely new areas or rooms via one of the mysterious telephones available throughout the game. These items and more can be found at various spots in the play area, or in the central area connecting rooms, know as "Rooms Street." Here you can also interact with non-player characters and get a better understanding of how this jumbled world came to be. Share Your Rooms Nintendo DS/DSi players of Rooms: The Main Building can not only create their own game levels, but also share their creations via a Nintendo Wi-Fi connection. Be a part of the Rooms: The Main Building community and see if you have what it takes to solve challenges created by players across the globe.

Unique puzzler with great music!
I play a lot of puzzle games. While I generally prefer the match 3 sort of games this one appealed to me as it reminded me of a puzzle type I played a lot when I was little. This game is just like that game that used to come in Cracker Jacks. It had a bunch of squares with one missing so you could shift all the little pieces around to try and get the picture to come out right. Sometimes you have to work and re work to get it perfect and even the simple ones can stump you for a while. I can't tell you the number of hours I wasted doing these types of puzzles! Probably not as many as I put into my DSi but that's beside the point.

The graphics on this are pretty good. The people look like 3D models on top of a non 3D environment (reminds me of Glory of Heracles). I'm not an expect so don't know if they are 3D but that is how they appear. The puzzles are very fun and quite clever and do get progressively harder. There are pieces that remind me more of a platformer or action game as well (although not too many which is good because I could not be any worse at those types of games..my kids consider me quite pitiful!)

The music is great so far -- very unique and suitable for the game itself. There are a few sound effects that are neat as well.

The only issue I could see is that some of the graphics are quite small. I am playing it on my new DSi XL but feel like on a DS Lite it might be really tough to see some of the items and pieces of rooms.

Overall it got 5 stars from me for not only reminding me of a favorite childhood pastime but for being unique in a puzzling world where we get so much of the same or, even worse, lame and insipid games that are either too hard or too easy. If Elmo were here he would be asking "which one of these games is not like the other" to which you could heartily respond Rooms: The Main Building. If you are awaiting Puzzle Quest 2 pick this one up in the meantime. It will do nicely to pass the time!

A worthy challenge for puzzle fans
I love puzzle games but I'm not that great at slide puzzles so I took a gamble on "Rooms" based on the first two reviews. When I received the game, I found out it's much more than a slide puzzle. It isn't just a matter of sliding tiles into their correct positions. This game has plenty of little "helpers" like transporters and a train. The latter involves lining up two railway depot tiles horizontally and the player can travel between tiles without moving them. These add variety to the puzzles. There are at least 4 mansions to clear (I'm only at the beginning of number 3). The puzzles graduate in difficulty but the change isn't so radical until you get to the 4 to 5 star puzzles. Even then I just take a little more time to reason out what to do. If you like more of a challenge, there's a time challenge mode too and a trophy room to display bragging rights to your friends! If you're like me and aren't a genius at slide puzzles, don't let this prevent you from considering this game. Its biggest drawback: I can't get anything done because I keep playing it! This game is positively addictive.

A winner in my book!
I just got this game yesterday and let me tell ya, its already got me hooked! I'm already into the 2nd mansion (there are 4 in all plus a bonus one). If you like the "slider" puzzles (there were a few on the Professor Layton series), then you'll like this game because that's basically what it is, but with a little "magic" added to it. Just when you think you got the puzzle finished and find that your stuck, you look it over again and get that "a-ha!" moment and then figure out how to move the rooms around again to get out of the rooms! Its easy to catch on to and a fun storyline to watch! I definitely recommend this game for people who like puzzles!
