I am so using the red shell on you.

Hooray! After about two years of sitting in a plastic bag, the Nintendo 64 I purchased from a pawn shop is back in service, with no ugly wires visible except for the controller! My amp is sufficiently old/crappy that I have to do serious gymnastics to get the DVD player, VCR, CD player, N64, and TV all speaking to each other. As it turns out, I left the TV out of the audio loop, so that my beloved husband doesn't go bonkers trying to watch TV with four remotes.

Someday this whole "wiring" thing will go away. Just not soon enough.

Mario Kart was pretty cool, but my absolute favourite game is still Zelda 64. :D

Ah, memories...

(Too bad you missed out on StripMarioKart!)

No, too bad for ME ;-).

In MarioKart 64, I had a nasty habit of hiding in battle mode. I won several battles that way (hiding and letting my opponents blow each other up).

The N64 is probably my favourite console ever. So many memories. No decent RPGs, but awesome in just about every other way.

Ah! Mario Kart is the best! I'll have to find it when I get the 64 from a friend of mine. If I ever get it from him. That reminds me, I should get a hold of him so that I can get it from him. *Mental note made.* [Now where did i put that mental piece of paper.]

You really need to buy a Harmony remote. It'll change your life and make your Mister very happy.
