- Question: How many NTSC games are there for the NES?
- Answer:
768
Note that these counts include games that were released under different publishers, like Caltron and Myriad 6-in-1 (same game, different publisher).
- Question: Where can I get information about 3 versus 5 screw carts?
- Answer:
The original reference for this was written by Dain in the Volume 1 Issue 2: October 2007 issue of the NintendoAge e-Zine (pages 6-8).
Since that time, many new variations (and flukes) have been discovered. Info for these discovering can be found here:
- Question: Will there be an AGE Expo this/next year?
- Answer:
It depends. Right now (9/25/2009), we're trying to find a location in the South, perhaps in the Raleigh/Durham, NC area or closer to the Wrightsville beach area.

- Question: Is there a list of known scammers?

Yes. MrMark063 maintains an extensive list of people you should avoid dealing with. Please visit the NintendoAge Hall of Shame 2.0.
- Question: Is it better to start off collecting cart-only or complete-in-box (CIB)?
- Answer:
This isn't a definitive answer, and there are exceptions to this advice, so choose the path that makes the most sense to you.
If you think you'll ever want boxes and manuals, it's typically cheaper in the long run to collect CIB to start with, buying up bulk lots.
Hunting down boxes and manuals, at a later stage in your collecting, typically requires buying complete games just to get an item you need (since many collectors won't split up a game just to part it out).
If you only want games for playing, then collect cart-only.
