    Nothing is stopping you from this right now

    Except the cost of the console and games. :(

    Also, Beetle Adventure Racing > Wrestlemania

      You guys don’t keep your childhood consoles?

      Your phone has enough power to emulate an N64 and roms are free. Ain’t nobody making royalties 25 years later on Wrestlemania.

        Well, yes, I have a gaming PC as well. (and a steam deck) It just ain’t the same without the OG controller. Need to get a USB one eventually but I’m poor.

        I do still have some of my original carts as well. Same with a bunch of NES carts I got from my previous job. Been eyeing those modern consoles that work with NES carts because that would be nice to have in the living room.

      They are pretty cheap. Around 50 bucks. With the box around 150. SNES is expensive compared to it. Also, Diddy Kong racing > beetle adventure racing.

      Ahhh beetle adventure racing! Brings back memories. I found a legit “cheat” way to play by doing something like turning and then clicking handbrake? A few times and it would take super sharp turns depending on how many times you click handbrake no matter the speed you were going. Allowed be to beat the game and unlock all cars pretty easily.

          I want to say yes, but honestly that was such a long time ago. I remember there was an “out of this world” secret car but I don’t remember much else.
