Should I really take space up in my bag with this? I just dream about lazy Sat. mornings playing Faxnandu, Paperboy, and Rush 'n' Attack!

Would I be able to get a cheap system with games here?

You won't be able to get an old school Nintendo here. Your alternative is online emulators. Faxanadu kicks ass! Will you marry me? I'll convert to Mormonism for you if you bring your Nintendo.

Damn, I never beat Faxanadu...

Got up to that damn fountain in the air though. That was weird. Now you're makin ME want to go get a damn 8-bit!

What a world what a world...

As for your question, if you DID bring it I'd get a voltage adapter. You can pick them up in Yongsan if you're going to be in Seoul. Of course, I'm not actually sure if the old nintendos were rated for 240volts... you might check. I know anything with a brick usually is which means you only need a plug adapter.

Hmmm. Nintendo... *drool*

I know! I'm such a nerd. I have an old Commodore Odyssey gaming system, and I am waiting to get a special adapter so I can again relish in playing Pick Axe Pete!

It looks as if Old Nintendy is on a plane to Seoul!

Yeah I regret not bringing my SNES here with me just so I can have something to do and never, ever be on the net again. It's shoved in a box back home. Finally had to break down and get an emulator going just to get my ROTK fix (now that's nerd).
