Kid Fenris posted:Question: what's the silliest piece of video-game merchandise you've bought? Don't count stuff you got as free promotional trinkets; this would be something you specifically sought out and purchased. I own a 3DO. Hmm, that's tough, most of my silly garbage is promo things, and most of my silly purchases are actual games, like multiple copies/ports of games I already own (hello, Super Street Fighter II Turbo) or the two PSP games I bought for the bonuses and still don't actually own a PSP (R-Type Command and Persona.) I do own two Dan Hibiki figures.

the hot dog tasted like a slim jim or something and they have a strange idea of what chili is supposed to be. the 3 onion rings were pretty great though. the drink had jelly in it and it was like drinking a chao

ScummVM has updated, boasting support for Myst, the first couple entries of the very early Sierra Hi-Res Adventure series, and whatever the hell this is, along with a general switch over to SDL2.

I was wandering around Shibuya and decided to stop a restaurant I saw a sign for. Once I went in and sat down, however, it turned out that I went into the wrong door since I had stumbled into a Japanese run Italian restaurant. The experience was very different from Italian food anywhere else in the world. Every place puts their local taste on a style of cuisine. It's just the nature of what ingredients are available and what connects with the locals. But it's always disorientating when you encounter it.

I know an adventure game is obscure when I can't recall its existence off the top of my head. And it was released by Corel during that brief period when everyone thought they could be a computer game publisher, too...

Zaphod42 posted:That.. should be a chili dog... but it looks like raspberry jam? This is the country that calls brown paste "curry." Looking at the chili dogs in the cartoon there was always a loving olive on it. Who puts whole olives on their chili dogs?? No wonder Sonic sucks. And then you had TMNT where the pizzas looked like margherita style where it's 90% sauce and some splotches of cheese but even when they introduce "toejam pizza" it's just got green peppers and pepperoni on it.

Nothing beats the pizza from the american cartoon TMNT though, with its physics defying inifinitely stretchy cheese. Growing up watching that show set me up for a lifetime of disappointment as no pizza on Earth has been able to hold up.

Found a copy of a classic floppy disk I had as a kid:  I guess it's a puzzle game? Adventure-ish? A series of rooms you have to escape by setting up Rube Goldberg machines, basically. It's not a great game, but I beat it for the first time ever last night (the whole game has a strict 15 min. time limit and my old DOS machine always ran the clock at the wrong speed).

I have the proper N64, but how hard is it to do the RGB mod for the N64? I know there is a goon who does that services on SA Mart, but between shipping the unit out and the price for service, it almost 50 more then just buying the RGB mod and trying to do it myself.

You can build your own circuit, buy a premade circuit from here or here. The DIY one is more difficult on the account you have to gather the parts and assemble it yourself. The first prebuilt circuit link has most of the stuff done for you, you just wire it up. The 2nd is a bit more involved, but works on all N64's. 8-bit Miniboss fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Oct 18, 2016 |

By the way, since the PS1 PSIO comes back in stock next week, what the best component cable option for it? I will wait to order one until I know that I am able to get the PSIO, but I know the PS1 just need cables.

Does your N64 have a serial # that starts with "NS1"? If it doesn't, it gets way more tricky and expensive since you need to get specialized board since the later models of the n64 don't natively produce rgb signals in the video chip. Otherwise it's just as easy as making the same DIY rgb amp set for a SNES Mini with the only issue being trying to get it all to fit between the bottom RF shielding and the mobo.
