The dream is within reach
I fucking wish I was 38 again!
A few things are stopping me from that actually.
It’s Saturday night, I have no date, just a roll of quarters and a 2 liter bottle of Shasta. Let’s do this.
39 yrs here. I got my kid a gaming laptop for Christmas, but then I bought all the old Halo games for it for myself. I just got an Xbox controller for it this weekend and it has been a wonderful experience.
Guys will see this and say hell yeah.
But for real, don’t sell your games. Don’t be that guy in 20 years being like “remember n64?”
Indeed. Instead be that guy saying “Oh, man… I forgot to check the caps… the motherboard is absolutely corroded and ruined beyond repair!”
Just reminding you if you have any old consoles or other such old electronics. Remember the capacitors.
Yup, always like them before you plug it in to test for leakage /s
I just got an emulator and play my n64 wrestling games on my tv through my pc
Mind elaborating on how?
Not having an N64 or a copy of that game stops me.
This and the other WWE games on N64 is why I went through so many controllers… A lot of them had you spinning the stick to get out of stuff and it would wear down the springs until the stick was worthlessly flaccid. 😩
the stick was worthlessly flaccid.
Sounds like the title of the world’s saddest sex tape.
Never understood the love for N64. That controller was an abomination.
Never understood the dislike for the controller. Have you ever used it?
Yes, I hated it.
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?
I would have if I had the luxury of storage.
Someone stole it from me when I was 18.
Not all of us came from stable backgrounds. My father lost everything we owned when I was in the Army because he couldn’t stop gambling and didn’t pay our storage unit… My entire fucking Magic the Gathering collection. I had power 9 and a full duel lands set, many many decks. Not to mention all my consoles and games.
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.
Did you find the secret level?
Your phone has enough power to emulate an N64 and roms are free. Ain’t nobody making royalties 25 years later on Wrestlemania.
Argggh the seas of piracy are calm and rife with plunder
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.
Lots of things stopping me from doing this:
- I am currently 36 years old, I will not be 38 at any time during the year 2024.
- I do not own a copy of Wrestlemania 2000.
- I finished my pizza rolls yesterday.
Sounds more like you’re not trying hard enough
I agree. He just needs to smoke a carton of cigs and drink a bottle of whiskey and he will feel older the next day for sure!
I’m also going to bed at 10:30
Oh yeah goin to bed at ten
Such a rebel, might even sleep till 730, who knows!
I remember the hype of getting chairs from the audience in this game!
We rented this one a lot.
As a 42 year old woman with no work tomorrow, eating takeaway pizza and drinking wine whilst contemplating zelda on the DS I bought over Covid vs a cheesy movie on Hulu this made me smile. :)
Why not both. Having a movie or show on the second screen while I game is my lifeblood.
Sounds like you were living the dream.
I think you mean “the alcohol cabinet is stocked and so are the retro games”. Legend of Zelda, here I come.
WCW/NWO Revenge, or nothing.
Wrestlemania 2000 was cool and all, but WCW/NWO Revenge will always be my GOAT. I remember as a kid being hella impressed by the customization options.
I also owned WCW/NWO Thunder for PS1. Game was dog shit.
