Thanks to the magic that are flea markets and pawn shops, I found a working Nintendo from 1985 and a few games a couple of weeks ago. Knowing how much you cool cats love video games, I figured I'd share the retro goodness I uncovered through the magic of the outside world. Any thoughts on what I should get next?
From left to right:Karnov, Ghosts and Goblins, Street Fighter 2010, Double Dribble, Ikari Warriors, Punch Out!!, Mickey Mousecapade, and R.C. Pro Am
From left to right:Solomon's Key, Super Mario Brothers 2, Donkey Kong Jr., Pac-Man, and Super Mario Brothers/Duck Hunt
My video game childhood is on the floor of your place.
I played the hell outta Karnov, Mickey Mousecapade and Ikari Warriors.
Man, Ikari Warriors must have been one of the first NES I ever played. Before my friend's Mom drove us to school we'd play that game until she honked like mad for us to get going. That was way before I had an NES to call my own.
Ahhh, memories. =)

Also in response to your question on DarkAir's blog about what is his first language, I'm pretty sure it's Spanish.
