I've beaten some hard-ass NES games like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle games, the Ninja Gaiden games, Batman, the original CastleVania, the first two Double Dragon games, Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, and Friday the 13th. The one game I gave up on was Battletoads. I made it to Volkmire's Inferno before I tapped out.

I have two NES systems. Both of which have damaged pin connectors. I tried cleaning/readjusting them, but it didn't work. Instead, I bought a knockoff NES (which is legal since Nintendo's patent expired). It works fine on most games, but Battletoads freezes as soon as the second level begins.

Is it worth buying an original NES system to go back and challenge Battletoads again or should I just accept that that's the one game that beat me? I know I could buy a new pin connector set, but those are unreliable or so I've read. And the instillation is... well, I'd just rather open up my wallet than do the handy work.
