Write your reply.

assistant: Hello All!
I got a 1985 Nintendo console with the two hand pads, one gun Zapper, and one
joystick, power pack, the console to tv connector wires and 4 games.
The console and game contacts are a bit dirty as the power light goes off and
on and no display will show up on the tv at times. They need a thorough
cleaning with alcohol and swabs. I got them to work enough to be sure that
the system and games are okay.  Sold as a package only.
The games are: DRx.Mario / Friday The 13th. / ExciteBike / Monster Party.
Make reasonable offers please plus shipping... The games are taylored to the
younger
kids...
Rob
