    That poster is awesome!! I found a framed copy of this one at Burlington Coat Factory for $10. http://imgc.allpostersimages.com/images/P-473-488-90/86/8621/ROFM300Z/posters/the-legend-of-zelda-link.jp…

    I like to say I enjoyed both systems growing up. Each one of them had a unique series that I have always been a fan of, although one more than the other. End of post will point out the obvious. Behold…

    I would share my collection but they're in boxes currently. I don't like either or console better honestly. I loved the N64 for Zelda OOT, Majora's Mask, Pokemon stadium 1 & 2, Pokemon Snap, Hey you Pikachu…

    golden eye was by far the best game or at least on par with Zelda. such a shame cartridge games stop as there was never a load screen instant play from the moment you turn it on.

     

    Hey have you ever considered trying to adjust the n64 to get rid of the bottle necks and use better ram chips to see how it would perform??

    I skipped both consoles, went for the Sega Saturn! xD
    Would be a lot more interesting to take apart if you ask me, it was a weird system and had some crazy games.
    Better if you import games and use a ram expansion.
    Had great 2D arcade ports, 3D was solid but it had a lot of strange limits.


    PS1 I'd have to say Spyro series was rather great with some rather obscure gems here and there.
    N64 was pretty solid too but StarFox 64 and F-Zero are still my main favorites. Some odd obscure titles for that machine too and I'd love to try the N64DD if it were ever possible.

    I could be wrong but I think its a Massachusetts thing. Like Market Basket, Trucci's or go back a bit, Riley's Roast Beef.

    I loved the Tekken series of games on the PS1! Also liked Speed Punks because my whole family could get to gether and play (we had a multi-tap and were able to have 4 payers)!

    OMG I want so bad right now..... Don't think I could talk myself into walking into a Burlington though...

     

    Come to think of it, I don't even know we have a Burlington.

    I know what you mean about Resident Evil. It's the tank controls that are hard to get used to again. I'm also new to this community so hopefully I can learn a lot from everyone.

    I never heard of using an acrylic pen to remove non-standard screw heads. Can someone explain to me in more detail on how to do this?

    All wonderful games. Brings back memories image I almost forgot about the Resident Evil Series, that was another one I used to play.

     

    Like you, most of mine is boxed up. But the good part about it is, I have all my favorite games on a retropie setup interfaced with PS3 controllers that I can load and play all those games today. image Not going to lie to you though, I tried to play Resident Evil on my setup. I'm out of practice or something, Them Zombies had a buffet with me. It seems harder now for some reason than it did when I was younger.
