Nintendo Entertainment System - The Legend of Zelda

I will never know how my dad was always on top of the coolest toys and games of the 80s. I did ask him once why he was compelled to get me all of the Transformers from 1984-1989, and he reminded me that he liked them too! I remember when the Nintendo Entertainment System first came out - this was the set with Rob the Robot and the game Gyromite (which will be featured soon). With this set he also picked up a copy of The Legend of Zelda and I'll always remember how impressed he was the moment the game started. After spending a career in the Computer industry he understood what a revolution it was in the technology, and it went on to be the favorite game of both of us to this very day.

Oh man, do you remember that first commercial? Where the guy is running around yelling, "Zelda? Zeldaaaaaaa!" and somebody's squeaking, "Tektikes! Octoroks!" I loved that commercial, and Zelda is still my favorite series.

This is my favorite all time game as well. Although I don't have any of my original carts, a friend of mine was kind enough to trade me a CIB gray cart version. Maps and everything else that came with it. I do have a gold cart as well, just the cart though.

Being who I am, I have to admire your gray cart version, as it is a variation on the more widely known copy of the game. Very cool that you have both! And always glad to meet another gamer who appreciates the roots.
