Finds 1942: Labtec CS-180 Speakers

While doing errands I found this set of speakers and I'm a sucker for them. These are the Labtec CS-180 speakers and still require an AC adapter which is on the way, I still don't know if they work or not. One thing I noticed is that the place that I got them from (Goodwill)...

It's been a while since I gotten something new for the NES, but I couldn't say no to this deal. Clash at Demonhead is an average side scroller that's worth a gameplay but that's about it. Dragon Quest 3 Remake was actually an amazing deal I found on Amazon and was able to add...
