Had to google him, never heard of him!

Weird ass quote though!!

However fear not yot!

Completion is near as once my desk grommets arrive the olde crt & console unit shall be completed.

After that I am just waiting on the nod to go and pick up the “crown jewel” to go in the corner.

Though I must admit I am dreading carrying it up the stairs.....

I'm pretty sure Patton is referencing the same public service announcement from the 80s that I dimly recall involving a similar scenario with anthropomorphized mice.

If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.

Well bar the crown jewel I am calling this project complete.

The bits finally come to finish my console station and so I finished it up today.
The only problem is the TV I had set aside for the purpose is DOA  :angry:

Luckily I have a little grey one which is working fine until I can find a slightly bigger black replacement.

So heres my modified console cabinet with NES, SNES, N64 and PS2.



So me n the Ms been having some fun with Duck Hunt tonight.
Its funny really the console is older than my Ms but I have been waiting all these years to play Duck Hunt with a Blaster and I wont lie I rather enjoyed it LOL
I could never afford one as a kid and Mum would never buy me one!
Here we are 25+ years later and I finally get to play!!  ;D

Managed to get a replacement TV, 20” and black.
Pretty good picture quality to once it warms up :)



Also fixed the Scope, Not exactly sure why it was not working but the battery contacts were pretty corroded so I stripped it down, cleaned it all up inside and polished all the contacts up and now working again :)

Still no news on when I can pick up my new cab though :(

Totally, for sure. Fish and snakes are practically the same animal. Ask anyone who has studied snakeology of fishenomics and they'll tell you.

Make your arcade sign look more like the Mario flag. Just figure out which Mario you want to use. I'm partial to the first one:

Never was a big fan of Sega. Sonic was fun (though it's way to fast for me now), the rest I actually don't even know. SNES all the way back in the days!

Ive always been a Sega fan boy.
Sonic was great, But I also love Streets of Rage, Golden Axe and Road Rash! :)

I just need to aquire a Mega CD next but that should be easier to get than the 32x was!

Though I have much love for the SNES to.

Got another 2 additions for my collection today!

My Sega fanboyism may be showing now lol



Ime well chuffed with the menacer, I paid less for it than they are typically going for on the bay and the box etc is in great condition.

The only problem was the previous guy forgot to take the battery’s out....



And yeah they were bad!

I had to take it apart to get them out, they had almost glued themselves in along with the clam shell!!

Anyways cleaned all the contacts up and after a bit of TLC and a hour finding 6 AAA bats shes working again :)

Not had a chance to try out the CD yet but tomorrow ile get it going if I can sort out someway to plug the 3 adapters in!!

Ive ordered a all in one adapter but its coming from France so not sure how long that will take but should be a million times better!!

Wish I could get that lucky!
They are quite hard to come by over here as are the CD’s and the menacers.

Theres usually a few for sale but they are mostly crazy expensive or damaged.

I guess none of them were really popular, especially the menacers so they are not rare as such just not common either!
