Nintendo Entertainment System, Part II
I went back to St. Mark's thrift shop and picked up Jackel, Blades of Steel, and what turned out to be a 60-pin-to-72-pin (i.e., Japanese Famicon to American Nintendo) converter with the pirate game Super Mario World 9, which is just Adventure Island II with Mario replacing Master Higgens. It looks like I can sell the converter on eBay for perhaps $25 or more, so that's a pretty sweet deal for $1. I don't see any reason to keep the converter. Maybe the pirate game would sell for something, too. As for the games, I had never heard of either, though they are both supposed to be good. Really, as a kid, my exposure to NES games was somewhat limited, when you consider that there were almost 800 games released for the NES.
