I had always assumed the golden light came from two gold Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time cartridges, so this kinda checks out.

With that shiny sticker on front. It's amazing how few games had custom cartridges.

I'd like to have a word with whoever wrapped those cables.

I would definitely be happy with that. Some great gaming to be had on the Nintendo 64.

You guys ever rent a game console back in the day?

Man, that was top tier -- You'd get to play games way better than your current console had and it all came in this fancy case... I played through most of Megaman Legends with my brother in one life in one weekend because we didn't have a memory card!

Sure did. When the N64 first came out it was a blast. Wave Race 64, man was that fun stuff and looked hella good at the time.

Bro, no games though? Hope you can take out a loan to afford super smash bros

Did it get expensive or something?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, all N64 cartridges are super pricey these days since they stopped making them so long ago

Damn, I haven't looked for N64 carts for years. Like 90% of the ones I still have were from when I was a kid.

Hang on to them! They jus tieso appreciating in value. I still have my original smash cartridge and it’s one of my prized possessions
