Yummmm Port! But come on man, what’s with the subdued intro?! QOTD: not sure of the name but it was a baseball game that I would sit on the couch and be the ‘announcer’ while my cousins played

    Now this is my kind of QOTD!!! I actually own 2 top loading NES’s with the dog bone controllers. I would have to say Tecmo Bowl 2, Contra and Little League World Series. All great to play with friends. Great show Gary!

    QOTD: So hard to pick one, but the the NES was and remains the best video game system evah…so here are a few:

    1) Ninja Gaiden – so difficult to beat the first time
    2) Baseball Stars – we wasted entire summers running leagues
    3) Bionic Commando – not the most well known game, but tons of fun
    4) Mike Tyson’s Punchout – fought Iron Mike over 100 times w/ the code during a 24 hour stretch before beating him like Buster Douglas.
    5) Tecmo Bowl – if you didn’t call the Bo Jackson run on defense every time you faced the Raiders you were an idiot.
    6) Zelda II – just a great game overall
    7) Mega Man – the entire series rocked
    8) Metroid – hard game to beat

    Great episode. I’ll need to pick up some port on my next batch. My wife is expecting so we’re not getting through as much wine as we used to, and I’m buying way faster than I’m consuming. Somebody stop me?

    Great show, loving the deals on port 80 bones hard to believe, but is that what it’s coming to.
    QOTD Either Mario 3 or Duck Hunter with the gun controller though.

    Good ep. – I have added the ’94 Dows Vintage Port to my wishlist. Sounds like a great bottle to keep tucked away for a couple decades.
