It's really nice of AA to offer these free blogs. I've decided to let this be the gaming-related blog, separate from Lesterblog. This is a score in itself, so I think I should share the recent scores I found this past weekend.First I finally found a complete original Nintendo console at the Goodwill in Athens. I think it was something like $8 for the console, controllers and A/V cable, and a separate $2 price on the light gun. In all these years I've never owned an original Nintendo console. The score I'm really most proud of came from GameStop, of all places. They had a used Nintendo 64 with power supply and one controller, all shrinkwrapped together, for $20. It's also the green plastic model, very much like the green X-box. It was another $10 for three carts, South Park, Star Wars Episode I Racer (basically Podracer though not identified as such) and John Madden N64, because one simply must have at least one Madden port for every system.I never owned an N64 either. I was immediately impressed at how close in quality it is to the first PlayStation. I guess the only real reason the PS1 is a CD-based system is because cartridges cost more to make. I don't really know at this point how much can be stored in an N64 cart but it still seems to me that CD games are bloated with useless data and things that don't really help the gameplay. I guess I'll learn more about it soon.Since this is Thursday and tomorrow is my payday, I'm close to another day of thrifting and treasure hunting. I'll have more to report very soon.
