The N64 controller is the perfect controller for N64 games. People that usually complain about haven't actually used it I find. Or try to after using a more traditional controller for years

I will definitely keep them in mind for my next book. I have a similar-ish book to yours but couldn't afford an artist, so did my own not-so-great cover!

Currently looking for a link to download The Goonies extended cut. Sometimes called Inferno cut I think. So if anyone has any links please send them my way

I own an XBOX (I bought as a cheap alternative for playing my 4K blu-rays) and I'm honestly not sure which one it is

Pretty good last four. I have not seen Scalps or The Vampire Doll, worth a watch?

I think i dislike all those designs. Just all very ugly

It's not got a big catalogue so not too many hidden gems. I'll go with Mischief Makers (2d platformer) and Wetrix (3d puzzler)

Not only is it great, it's still completely unique as far as I'm aware. Surprised it's never had a sequel too

Its been a while, maybe I should give this a rewatch. Growing up, this film had such a reputation before I'd even seen it

Nintendo 64 is still my favourite console. First one I bought with my own money and I love that era. First PlayStation was great and despite never owning one I have a soft spot for the Sega Saturn

@serializdapp.bsky.social Saturday! Still enjoyable but Pole to Pole and Beast In Me not quite as e joyable as I hoped so far. Can You Keep A Secret? better than expected though
