I must have watched it every day for almost ten years. Was by far the best thing on television.

I still watch it almost everyday unless it's the new OP, oldies are still the best but in the middle of old and the new OP are some decent episodes.
Hank Scorpio was on the other day, one of my favourites

The Hank Scorpio episode was always my favourite when I was a kid. Always loved when it came on

There are very few episodes I'll watch after season 10. It's just not the same show really.

My favourite episode, as a kid and even now ... hmm, I guess ... Treehouse of Horror V (the one with the Shining, the time traveling toaster and the teachers start eating the students - dat Uterbraten)

Don't broadcasters just buy the rights to air certain parts of The Simpsons archive, like set seasons and whanot? So, it might be true.

Simpsons and WWF the 90s were deadly. It even had the most deadliest rivaliest rivalry ever, Blur vs Pooasis.

I dunno which treehouse of horror it is but the one with presidential election is priceless and I almost never like treehouses.

Favourite episode is a hard question though. The cartridge family is most definitely up there, cat burglar was so great but mountain of madness gets it for me tonight folks.

Anything with the late, great Phil Hartman is worth checking out, brilliant stuff.

Jingle All the Way? That has Sinbad in it too so doubly great.

I am, of course, referring to Simpsons episodes, some films of his were awful but not his fault, like Bilko

And then his drug addled wife shot him in his sleep, bugger....

Jingle All the Way was on the other day. I think Phil is great in it, he give one of the greatest one liners in the history of the universe to the man who has the best one liners

Hey what's not to like about it. It's got a kid drinking hard liquor and a raindeer getting punched.

The show really started to go downhill once he died.

Partial to the pinchy episode myself.

Just received Wizards & Warriors 3 and Digger T Rock, both for the Nes, in exchange for Pop'n Twinbee for the Snes, as I had double of that post Christmas.
Happy days!

I second that motion.

murphyebass

Just picked up a very big part of my childhood for 60euro on adverts. Won't sell this one like I did my last one. Stupid move that was!

Included was console, 9games, 2controllers, rumble pack, leads.





Got this as the connection to the telly looks like directly in to the telly which I assume means I need to time it in. Is there a cheap cable I can get to make my life easier or is this on the best/normal for N64. I had one years ago but can't remember what was with it. Also I'll be using the flat screen we have LG LED telly don't know if that helps/not. Have no other telly.

Nice, its nice when you recapture some lost youth in buying a console you had years ago. You'll want to order one of the svideo cables from consolegoods though (get a pal one assuming thats a pal n64 because the ntsc ones are different), that rf cable is just nasty.

CiDeRmAn

There are plenty of inexpensive av cables available online, shouldn't cost more than a few euro.
Same composite cable will work with Game cube and Snes, as well as N64

Its well worth getting the n64 svideo cable, there's a huge jump in quality over the bog standard rf & av cables

Cheers for that I'll look at their site in a minute.

It really is nice to recapture the n64. Even seeing it in the flesh again was a weird feeling. Holding the cartridges for the first time in over a decade!

Had a look on consolegoods. They have one for 5.90pounds.
Bit dearer than a few euro ciderman

Any cheaper elsewhere anyone?

Is that down at the old shopping centre? Must drop by next time I'm passing by.

Happen to know if they have any of the PS2 adapters actually? Been looking out for a second.

Yeah it's in the old shopping centre. Didn't spot any of the adapters but I'll let yous know if I come across them.

Seriously, just get the consolegoods cable. You might save a few euro on a AV composite cable but that few euro could have gotten you a huge increase in graphical fidelity on every N64 game you will play. AV composite, particularly on the N64 looks terrible. It will be the best thing you will buy for your N64.

Also the only place that makes PAL N64 s-video cables is consolegoods so you will have to buy it there, but as I said, if you are going to stick with a PAL console it will be the best purchase you will make.
