Nintendo NES Overclocking Guide
Deven "Epicenter" Gallo writes "I've perfected a process by which to overclock the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) to run games smoother without slowdown. The NES CPU normally runs at 1.79 MHz, I've reached a stable maximum of 4.2 MHz, about a 230% overclock. The games do not run faster than they should, the CPU never overheats, and most games are perfect up to 3.3 MHz!" Here's the guide on how to perform the modification, along with photos and demonstration videos
...and go do this right now. Looking...looking...looking...ah found it! Now if only I can find some games...I think I've got one of those crappy knock-off bible games somewhere...

say in the late 80s. Sheesh, I'd rather read another microsoft bashing article on here then this.
o/~ I used to do lots of things...
I shouldn't really admit to this, because its an Ultra-Bastard thing to do, but when I was younger (12?), we hired a Nintendo, with a 500-in-1 cartridge and dialed a pizza. We played it ALLLL night, trying the 40 different variants of Super Mario Bros, etc.
Before we took it back, we jammed bits of our Hawaiian pineapple on the cartridge, and then inserted it into the console...
We returned it the next day, complaining that it "didn't work very well" and got a refund.
Try blowing on that sucka...

Which reminds me of the time my mate was eating a chocolate bar, and spat/oozed chocolate all over the inside of a floppy disk and put it in the Acorn at school... then we held our sides laughing as student after student corrupted their disk of precious work.

Kids, don't try this at home...
>What are some games that could stand to be played on an overclocked NES?
Doom 3

How about you dont post when you can't see a joke?
Or, did the parent post somehow touch on your childlike ego?
