€40 isn't bad for that little bundle. Welcome!

An N64 being a console of someone's childhood makes me feel old...

My childhood console was the 2600, bet you don't feel that old anymore. I must be due to have a midlife crisis soon, sell of my collection to fund a hair transplant or something along them lines.

2600 for me too, was my first ever console. As for mid life crises, I think A&R collecting IS the mid life crisis for those that way inclined...recapturing lost youth/inner child etc etc

When you look back how far things have moved along in thirty years, I hope the next thirty will be just as good. I think it was Oisin who made a statement a while back about games being like movies. It would be like saying you're too old to watch a movie, it's a form of entertainment like many others. You're never too old to read a book or play the guitar, so why are you too old to play games.

I'd agree with that, the 'adults shouldn't play games' thing is just a sociological perception that's wrong...it's a consumable media in my eyes & just as relevant as movies/books (assuming you're playing the right games obviously!)

True :0)

I started A&R collecting with a repeat purchase of an N64 by chance, back in '99, so I would have been 27, not quite old enough for a mid life crisis!
And the likes of Super Mario World is a stunning game regardless of decade, as timeless perhaps as chess... maybe?

As generations go by I'm sure it will be the accepted norm. If you think about it, it's a form of entertainment in its infancy. How long have books be around, musical instruments or movies for that matter.

I think it's €36 on Amazon but you'd have to pay 3 to PM.
If you've time to play, lemme know if it's worth it.

MrVestek

So I did actually get some gets this morning. Forgot I had even ordered these. Super Mario 3D World cd soundtrack and Nintendo Folder and Bookmark set.



Edit: Forgot to mention that I got them from Club Nintendo.

I've played a little and so far it seems interesting. It comes with a code to gift a free version of the game to someone so I'll message you it to try for yourself when I finish work.

Going to be too busy to do this later, at least no where near a computer, so closing this mother down and opening up da offsping....
