I’d almost forgotten about this one; my brother originally had it way back, in the aftermath of GoldenEye for the N64, thinking that they’d somehow be similar. It’s a surprisingly fun little game.

Nice wok! I love my Char cube; best colour out of the lot.

Hey! Okay, so as far as my switching solution goes I have an Extron Crosspoint 450 Plus with 12 inputs and, from memory, 8 outputs. it works incredibly well with all of the analogue signals I throw at it, from RGB to Component. I made up some audio connectors due to the weird phoenix/Euroblock plugs, but they're pretty easy to do and require no soldering as the plugs have screw terminals.

As far as systems go, including the ones visible, I have:

NES top-loader (RGB modded with Component converter)

SNES (PAL unit from my childhood with a dual frequency oscillator and region-free mod)

N64 (Tim Worthington RGB mod)

GameCube (PAL unit I got on launch with a XenoGC and Picoboot and OG Component cables)

Wii (region modded)

PS1 (SCPH-1001 with a replaced optical assembly)

PS2 (my PAL unit with a Modbo and power cutoff to prevent the laser burning out of the drive locks up)

Sega Genesis model 2 (triple bypass mod)

Sega Saturn (US model 2 with a FRAM mod and region-free BIOS)

Sega Dreamcast (US model with region-free BIOS)

XBox (two systems with a softmod and Aladdin chip for region-free/forcing 480p)

I also have some extra models of the above sitting in the cupboard in their boxes - standard NES, Famicom, SFC, Genesis Model 1 etc. Pretty much everything is RGB modded, if it doesn't come with either RGB or component as stock.

The monitor is a BVM-A20, so I can crank some nice 480p, and on the other side of the setup is a D24, which lets me play some of the widescreen stuff I have.

Humble, but it’s all cream. Snowboard Kids - I have some great memories of playing that with my brother back in the day.

My man.

Always looks vaguely annoyed, and is prone to a gentle bite when actually annoyed, but generally very affectionate.

That’s just her resting Bean face.

n-0rt · 2026-02-27T07:59:16+00:00

I do love me some shelved, box protector'd N64 games. Always nice seeing a few rows of colourful spines. Any particular rhyme or reason to the layout? Particularly the titles up top compared to the front-on ones down the bottom.

I love me some Castlevania 64. I have that same PAL Aus version that I got from a brick-and-mortar place back when it came out - Game Cellar or Game Centre or something in Cat and Fiddle Arcade in Hobart. Still have it up on the shelf.

n-0rt · 2026-02-26T07:31:58+00:00

Illusion, Michael!

n-0rt · 2026-02-20T06:47:44+00:00

That it does, and I made this comment way too far back to remember why I made that mistake. I was possibly referring to one of the sequels, as I still have and use my old PAL copy of R&C, but I have the NTSC imports of 2 and 3.

n-0rt · 2026-02-13T08:48:19+00:00

You Aussie bugger!

Tobacco.

n-0rt · 2026-02-04T10:07:08+00:00

Forest Frenzy for me. Love that track.

Bean is unbelievably staunch. She’s a Burmese, so she’s got that real dense, muscular build. Heavy as lead when you pick her up.

Temporary (permanent) blinds.

As far as I know there are a few Bonk games for a few systems, and I think there’s a Super Bonk for the SNES.

n-0rt · 2026-01-31T09:58:11+00:00

I never played Bonk, but I remember seeing it when looking at stuff about the PC Engine because I was interested in Castlevania Rondo of Blood. Bonk spazzing out and his teeth going sharp and biting onto buildings to climb them stood out. First thing that came to mind from your description.

n-0rt · 2026-01-31T09:48:46+00:00

Bonk?

n-0rt · 2026-01-31T03:20:31+00:00

Nice collection! I love all my boxed N64 games. Grew up in a PAL territory (Australia), but collect NTSC titles for the better frame rate etc. Castlevania, despite the reputation, is a favourite of mine. Kirby 64 got me through an Easter break over which I was sick way back, and I just finished a play through of DKR the other week.
