I thought the same thing Troy. Unless he was on a battery backup supply ( I highly doubt it).

I would like to know who his electrical provider is since they can go 18 years without a power outage!! Impressive!

I believe the original AC adapter for the NES had a maximum output of 1.3amps, according to various sources on the internet. I'd be curious enough to hook up an ammeter and find out exactly how much the current draw is both at idle and while playing a game.

I’ll bet that anyone reading this story can share many fond memories of their original Nintendo console. For some, it may have been a member of the family. While we all can remember the old “pause the console until tomorrow morning because Ghouls N’ Ghosts is too freaking hard” technique, the Nintendo console at the focus of this article would have consumed twenty years’ worth of electricity. I wonder how much that would cost? I think I’ll have to consult my recent Duke Power bill for the rate conversion. Anyone know what the amperage was for the original NES?
