  2. Be careful or you’ll Linus Tech tip your equipment and i think you voided the warranty. Lol. I had to play one game and stick another game on top to keep it from popping up.

  9. Nestalja, I don't remember the 80's that well but I still remember my original game boy and nentendo game councle. I'm to old, this makes me feel old and nestalja XD. Funny side story, I stopped playing my original Nintendo game councle once I got my saga dream cast, it was so much better and it could play CD's, I never did find out how to connect it to the internet though but South Park ralley was my favorite game on it and after that was fighting force 2.
