Hi Bluesky! I'm Fran and I've been gaming since I was 3.
You will see a lot of gaming (especially retro and indie games) and photography posts here.
Of course, you will get food, music and memes as an extra too.

He's still doing it.
The adafruit guy has now spent several days doxxing and stalking and harassing me online. This time with a clever 'I remember other [similar names]'
He is now just making alternate fediverse accounts to ridicule me.

Damn. In 2002 I was probably using Altervista or Lycos.
I was also playing GTA 3 and Mafia.

I took this screenshot of the Ask Jeeves website in 2002. It sat on an old LaCie drive for decades.

Today's retro game is Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade for Game Boy. Based on my favorite film in the franchise. The best way I can describe the experience is "not as polished as some other Indiana Jones games" but certainly has a charm to it.
Have you ever played this one?

These boards are authentic N64 games. I also sold a bunch of these but you can clearly see no modifications to the boards. They are authentic original OEMs. They have no been modified. They haven’t even had batteries replaced. They are not repos.

These PCBs clearly have modified components. They are original boards but not original components. They have MASKROM adapters installed in place of the ROM chip. They are repos. These are what I sell.

Since I’ve been doing repo SNES carts lately, I wanted to do a quick PSA on how to check for authentic OEM games:
1. ALWAYS ASK FOR PICTURES OF THE PCB.
2. CHECK THE PCB. BACK AND FRONT.
3. DID YOU SEE THE PCB?
4. DID THE PCB HAVE MODS?
5. HAS THE PCB BEEN MODIFIED?
Hope this helps.
