@@fcukugimmeausername yeah I think all the funtastic range are pretty awesome but the watermelon red and fire orange are very tasty.

@@FlashbackTNT thanks mate. Same to you and yours! Keep that Everdrive out at all times it’s a great gateway to the past. 🤣🙏🏻

@@djcat64 yeah something fun about helping others at this thing. I did it once for a friend back in the day but they struggled with Silver PP7 bizarrely. I bet you could get some savage time on Facility though!

@@djcat64 hey mate you may remember me from way back. I have switched up alias a few times. I was Milage007 on the N64Forever forum many years ago. We used to have some good exchanges from memory. Didn’t we have a crazy time trying to speed run the Train level on Goldeneye as well? Getting some awesome times. Hope you are well mate and thanks for commenting. Glad you like the content.

@@28_Spokes thanks for the feedback mate I appreciate that. Plenty more in the pipeline. Cheers.

@@RetroDeckyGamer appreciate that mate, thanks for stopping by.

Thanks for the positive feedback! Yeah they certainly missed a trick with this one.

@@bttfspencer thanks mate, I appreciate that. It is a nice space to zone out and play some games. Yeah the N64 display is quite special, it stores it in quite a safe and uniform way whilst still keeping some of the N64 art visible. 🙌🏻

Thanks a lot. 👌🏻

Have you pre-ordered an analogue 3D ? I think I may bite once they release funtastic colours . I’m sure they will like what they’ve done with the pocket , wait to see what the reviews say about them , I have a megaSG & superNT which are spot on

Thanks for the kind comment mate and feedback. It’s still early days for the channel and it seems the difficult thing is getting eyes on the content. When the views have been there the feedback has generally been good. Fingers crossed we can build from here. I’m open to collaborating but yeah I would wait to be asked rather than try and bulldoze anything. Cheers.

@@33PA33I haven’t yet, but they look great. Waiting to see what they are like first.

@@FlashbackTNT thanks mate! It’s worth a go, there is something there, but yeah I feel like a trick was missed with this one and if they stayed true to a more arcade type experience it would have been better. Nice about the Amiga, I’ve never been on one of those. I didn’t realise it came out on that system also.

@@FlashbackTNT thanks mate. Yeah I will give Quantum another try. I am probably being biased because it is the worst James Bond film there is IMO. They haven’t lived up to Goldeneye you’re right but they did make some good games nonetheless since. I enjoyed the ones on the PS2 quite a lot even though none were based on a film as such. Yeah I’ll let you know about Bloodstone, maybe do a video but turns out I am going to need a laptop with some more fire power if I want to get better quality visuals for anything beyond N64… 😒 but yeah I had a quick go on the first level and it was very smooth, looks clean etc and the movement of Bond felt good for a third person game. I do have the Pro Skater 2 remake on PS4 actually I bought it and didn’t put much time in at all but one I do need to. It’s just in the queue as we say… 😝 Glad you enjoyed it mate. The Smash was a great find for CeX, if you roll the footage back and see the Mario 64 next to it, that’s the condition N64 games tend to be more often than not when I see them when out and about… 🤣 Cheers. 🍻

@Makavelithedon64 shame about the laptop situation, but I actually enjoy the over the shoulder view you've been doing recording the screen. It works well in my opinion and allows us to hear your thoughts or voice over thoughts. Haha yeah, they're usually battered, but I have had the odd Nintendo cardboard game out of my local CeX that's been great.

@ thanks mate that’s useful feedback. Maybe what I can do is try and get a little bit of a better angle at least so it’s more square on whilst I contemplate a new laptop. Glad you’ve had some success locally in CeX, always nice when it happens. Going back to Smash, unsure why the price has come down a bit, I think across the board some prices have come down, people are not spending as much at this moment in time. Kind of a trough in the cycle compared to peaks seen during the Covid years. If you’re ever selling anything nice don’t trust an eBay auction put it that way. Been some really nice stuff going for crazy cheap prices lately. Great for buyers, bad for sellers. Buyers market for sure right now.

@@gullpayne thanks mate appreciate that.

@@gullpayne totally agree. It’s difficult as my collection is mainly 64 and I am incredibly fussy it’s very difficult to find nice stuff in the wild for that. But picking up PS3 games etc where it’s no difficult to find good condition upwards as much, yeah in the wild for sure. 👌🏻

@@Chief1605 thanks mate. Yeah I agree those limited editions are great and a focal point in any N64 collection for sure. I think as somebody from the UK we were probably the most unlucky, as well as the rest of Europe when it came to N64 games. E.g. North America getting so many more exclusives (Indy being a tough one to accept), getting more coloured carts (red, blue, green, yellow and other black carts other than Turok 2). Australia even got the yellow cart for DK64 at least but not UK. Nintendo of Europe really didn’t care too much about that to my mind which is a shame. Then there’s all the other stuff like the controllers we didn’t get etc (Extreme Green). Loose funtastic controllers sold boxed or blistered…

@ yeah we definitely got a rough deal - although some cool pal exclusives too like the majora’s adventure set. Hunting the Australian pals is a fun challenge too - I’ve got the yellow DK cart loose but no box, also noticed the other day I had an Australian variant of Banjo Tooie, which has a green cart label instead of blue one (like the ntsc version)- found it excessively exciting

@ yeah you’re right about the Adventure Set, though the cost of those now is eye watering. I think a sealed on went for ~£10k the other week. If you’re enjoying your N64 hunt and use Facebook the N64 PALS group is a very resourceful place. 👍🏻

@@33PA33 thanks for the tip, I’ll look into that. Cheers. 👍🏻

@@kennethgriffin7921 I agree with the first part. Disagree with the latter. But everyone has their own views on it. I continued playing it over the years as it’s always been a special one for me. I imagine it would be hard work going back to it after 20+ years away though.

definitely more interesting than grilled cheese!

Thanks mate, appreciate that. Glad you enjoyed the content. Yeah you’ll have to pick one up at some point, surprised you haven’t got one already! Look forward to seeing your room when you get to it. Billie is probably the safest bet isn’t it. Agree about keeping the kids out. That’s why I have the child lock at the top… 😅 Great to hear about you and your son gaming and hope I can have similar experiences in the not too distant future. Nice that your son has played Mario 64! Agree about the Essentials. Still some more to come so I guess you’ll see a few more on the channel and on the shelf when I pull my finger out and put the shelves up. Thanks for stopping by and commenting again mate! Cheers. 🍻

@@brainycabde interesting. I guess I knew that without knowing it if that makes sense. Thanks for stopping by, much appreciated. Will be doing a run through on Egyptian very shortly for old times’ sake then move onto some more content for the gaming side to the channel. Agreed, one of the best games of all time for sure. 👌🏻

@@ijhuana thanks mate, appreciate that. Spot on with being how it was designed for.

@@FlipMelo-g9z I don’t have a Switch unfortunately and haven’t played it on there so I can’t give useful feedback on that. I have been tempted at times to get one. I can’t imagine it plays like the original fully though so yeah it is quite possible to experience some difficulties with it. It was never fully the easiest the whole aiming thing, but I’ve always stayed in touch with the N64 / 007 over the years so it doesn’t ever feel too alien to play.

@@oLD_KaNuToR thanks mate, much appreciated.

@@gullpayne thanks mate! 🙌🏻

@@FlashbackTNT thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed! I completed Spider-Man 2 earlier this year, fantastic game, story, everything. Thoroughly enjoyed that. Rez 2 remake is good also. I haven’t tried the 4 yet or bought it but might do soon. Yeah I’m not really fussed about a Shenmue III remaster, though it might be good, I would just hope they crack on and bring the next chapter in the story. It’s just a gripping story but just left in limbo not knowing what happens is like a killer. It’s like being left on a cliffhanger but for years of your life! Yeah I’ll give 50 a go soon. I watched some gameplay footage and it looked good that’s why I thought I’ll pick it up. Try to be selective and grab things I’ll enjoy playing. Gauntlet remains as difficult as it always was to find good condition upwards!

Yeah shame the number is cropped out. He will have done it using the 300 rounds you have in the watch, but just perfected how to use it sparingly to do just enough to kill or blow up the brakes on the train. The details these speed runners went into to find the fastest way of doing things is mind-blowing. Eg looking at the floor when running because the game has to do less “rendering” and it saves fractions of seconds. Obviously the clock on 007 only works to the nearest second but if you amply reduce the time it’s the difference between a 1:48 and a 1:49!

@@bullfrogjay4383 that’s a great story. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Good luck with the others and enjoy!

@@RichardWyatt7596 yeah that’s the way you need to go. No idea who discovered that out of you or I. I did give you credit on the Control 00 Agent run for blowing the surplus desks up. Probably ought to have for the drone guns at the start too! 🤣

@@gullpayne thanks mate! 👍🏻

@@gullpayne thanks 👍🏻

Cheers 👍🏻

@@RichardWyatt7596 thanks. Good part of the film that whole Archives escape and tank scene in St Petersburg.

@@dopplegangerdavid yeah, as I said it takes a few attempts. Mainly for Doak being in one of the ideal locations at the end. But I suppose also you need to get lucky with how the AI of the enemies react. Like they have different ways they try and shoot you don’t they. Sometimes I went in that room at the bottom of the stairs and all 3 in there would just shoot me immediately. I guess the unpredictability of the game is what makes it quite charming. 🤣

Yeah a great shout that is for protecting health at that stage and saving time also. It’s the strategy deployed in the world record as well so clearly the most optimal. All about getting that throw right! I expect in pressured conditions I’d just end up throwing it on the floor right in front of me or something… 🤣 Glad you got a throwback out of it mate!

@@b.9425 thanks mate appreciate that

@@FlashbackTNT thanks mate. Much appreciated as always. I know it’s going to get a bit bigger I expect the old mo! Yeah those blue ones were great. They don’t really stay still for long do they Nike. Constantly releasing new shoes / designs and the old stuff just gets left behind. I could get one more shelf underneath yeah and have considered that. I guess I’m just mindful it will become a lot more reachable for my son. I wouldn’t want him trying to swing off it, though he’s not at that age yet, he could one day. I think I’ll go across like I said and perhaps go down in the future if further space is needed when I can explain fully not to use it as a climbing frame… 🤣

@@SwiftGuyver. thanks mate! Glad you enjoyed. 💪🏻

@@gullpayne thanks. Nice to have some Nintendo red strips in the collection.

@@gullpayne yeah definitely worth checking out any that you haven’t already. Some great titles.

@@goatbone cheers! Interesting. I haven’t played that I don’t think. Something to think about and one to possibly try soon. Always nice to hear a title in there you’d never expect. Thanks for stopping by. 🙌🏻

@@N64tress Give it a look. It wasn't something I would have even noticed back in the day but now I appreciate puzzle games a bit more and it has a cool techno soundtrack. I've played it with mates taking turns so much fun.

@ nice. Sounds good. I’m currently working on a bit of a vlog for the next video on the channel with a bit of content out and about and a few things that are going on and coming up. I might squeeze a quick review of it in there. Or maybe do another episode for it on its own . Will get me to play it either way! Cheers.

@@gullpayne thanks, much appreciated. Thanks for stopping by. Will check out your channel later. 👍🏻

@@SwiftGuyver. thanks mate. I guess a lot are fairly predictable for obvious reasons but the order isn’t always. Had to put that one out there.

@@N64tress Yeah I think there's at least 5-6 games that would be in pretty much everyone's N64 top 10. I feel that's to do with the library being relatively small compared to other systems and the best games on the console literally being some of the most critically acclaimed titles of all time!

@@SwiftGuyver. yeah spot on that mate. 👌🏻

@@SwiftGuyver. thanks for the comment, much appreciated 💪🏻

@@markstanley9176 thanks for tuning in, the kind words and the sub. Glad you enjoyed it. More content to come on the channel. Best.
