/vr/ - Retro Games

Games you can't remember the name of thread, since there isn't one in the catalog.

Puzzle game where you need to connect a gear at the start of a grid to another at the end with various size gears. I THINK it was under the Bubble Bobble trademark.

I'm attempting to take apart my NES so I can clean the contacts, but the thing stopping me right now are most of the screws are stuck.
I've tried both a phillips screw driver as well as a flat head and it didn't work. Used a pliers with the flat head and the screwdriver was spinning and wasn't slipping off the screw, so I assume the screw was spinning too, but it doesn't seem to be getting any looser. Any advice?
How well does the melted pen trick work? I don't want it to cause more damage.

GHHHRRRAAGH IT'S ALL FLOODING BACK

EVERY DAY I PARTICIPATED IN THOSE DEV ROOMS

JESUS CHRIST I used to BATHE in Capcom so much that my friends called me a "Capcom fanboy." Sure things were getting creaky in the last few years but MML3 was the final fucking straw.

Capcom is truly dead. Who else can you think of that is worse, besides the obvious EA or Activision? At least Sega TRIES with Sonic. They fall on their face half the time but at least they fucking TRY. At least Konami doesn't dangle a fish in front of us and then beat us to death with it, and tell us it's our fault. I mean, holy shit. I can't think of one good thing Capcom has done in the past three-plus years.

FUCK.

>go to a few garage sales today
>Last one is a bit out of the way but an estate sale
>Figure what the hell and go over to check it out.
>Meet with sellers, mexican mother speaks very little english, ask if they have any electronic games
>She goes in, comes back out with a box full of old NES-Wii games
>Little kid behind her is bawling his eyes out, mother turns around and starts yelling at him to go away, turns back to me trying to sell me the box for $20

Couldn't do it. /vr/. Couldn't take that poor kids childhood away. Why are some mothers just so horrible?
