@ThanosReXXX Just to tell you about the mod of the Genesis Mini. Hakchi has a new version 3.8 which supports the Sega mini fully. It is extremely easy to mod. It is the same as with NES/SNES minis.
@Anti-Matter How many times you have to post the same art?
@Anti-Matter EASTER bunnies, NOT muscly, six-packed rabbits...
@Zuljaras Hear, hear. He probably won't, though.
Thanks for the info. I'll look into the hack, it's just that I have a couple of other things to take care off right now, and there's also more games to play than Sega ones, so I'm not in any rush. I'll get to it at some point, though.

@ThanosReXXX Did you watch the video on page 35 of the coronavirus thread? Because my comment was about that. It's not about what you think of the death penalty or lethal injections, that's not the point. The point was that they were making 'fun' of the fact that you get your arm swabbed with alcohol before a lethal injection. The joke being that we're too obsessed with 'germs' and 'infections' these days. But like I said, it's not about preventing a dead guy from getting an infection. There are apparently several benefits of using alcohol, like making it easier to insert the needle. My point wasn't about the ethics at all.
@Octane Oh, that. Yeah, I already got that. I just didn't think it was important, and because of the whole death penalty thing, you kind of set me off on the wrong path, because I couldn't see the connection between the two. Anyway, riddle solved, then.
On a side note: I did not watch the video, because I already knew that show. I'm a fan of Carlin's work, so I've seen most if not all of his performances already.

Seeing these Easter bunny pics kind of makes me thankful I never got my picture taken with one when I was little.
@reporterdavid Haven't noticed one. On the subject of LEGO Super Mario, the Mario figure kind of amuses me. The way it can move eyes or gives you stats about coins and such on his shirt.

@Sunsy My local run tends to run about 6-8 at a time. It was a bit less a couple of years back as they were renovating some of the movie houses at the time. It paid off; those have recliner-like seating now. I try to get in one of those if I can. XD
There's still a single house theater that was renovated and is still operating not too far from where I grew up. The prices are pretty reasonable too.
@bimmy-lee I'd like to see a couple of paint cans in there. Just as long as the blowtorch to the head also makes it in.
@Sunsy Yeah, I was willing to start one , but none of them said "Nintendo in general".... it was all based on systems..
I love it when I have some kids. Its really fun, specially during these corona times.
Have a nice day. Voiceactor: The Pirates! (Sony/Aardman 2012) - The Passion: A Brickfilm (Neema 2019) - The Torchlighters: The Story of John Newton (Vision Video 2022) - [NEW] Minno's Laugh and Grow Bible (Minno - 2024)
@bimmy-lee Carnevil was a good one too. Tough as heck though. Even more than House of the Dead.
Problem with the arcade cabinet, is that it will always seem like a ridiculous purchase for anyone you live with (unless you still room with your college roommates). To you it’s a fun toy and conversation piece, but anyone else will think you’re going through the gamer version of a mid-life crisis. But it would be a fun investment.
@NintendoByNature That’s great. Sounds like you’re in a good place. Have you decided on any particular vibe to your island? Like tropical resort, National Park, etc...
@ThanosReXXX That’s cool you have the Genesis Mini. I’ve been coming around to the idea of getting one.
I was also looking into purchasing a Turbografx-16/PC Engine mini as long as the emulation is solid, since I’m unfamiliar with pretty much every game on the system. Do you have any experience with that system?
@NotTelevision ehh not teally. Im just loading up on housing and furniture(play items all over the island. I checked with Isabelle yesterday and she said I have 1 star lol. I haven't had the kk concert yet so maybe that'll help. I just assumed I have to load up on housing and all sorts of attractions. I have pools, play grounds, soon so be soccer fields. All sorts of play items on one side. Everything else will be trees, flowers and housing
@NintendoByNature - Yeah, I think that’s a safe bet. Even if it’s not, it probably will be for SOR fans. I had my dates mixed up this morning. It’s out 4/23, a week from this Thursday.
@ThanosReXXX - Those videos were funny. I think I’ve seen most of the creepy bunnies, but the toy that makes a mean face is great. I would love to terrorize my kids with that. Scaring the crap out of your kids is one of the small rewards for all the hard work.
@Tyranexx - The blowtorch is in, as is the tarantula. So is walking barefoot on lightbulbs. The troll earned the deluxe revenge package.
@NotTelevision - Haha, it’s so true. Even before kids, it sounded insane every time I tried to talk to my wife about buying arcade cabinets. She was never really against the idea, but there’s a tipping point somewhere in those conversations where I start to feel like a six year old asking mom for toys. CarnEvil was tough, but also weird and funny. We had to spam quarters to get to the end, but it was worth it.
@bimmy-lee ok cool , I heard i was going crazy. I thought it was next week but thought maybe something changed. I should at least beat SoR3 before I dive in. I beat 2 countless times but never 3.
@NotTelevision Well, if you have the means, and if they're still available, then I can highly recommend getting the Sega Genesis Mini. It's a wonderful little mini console, and the controllers are great too, as is the pack-in assortment of games, so you can hardly go wrong with it. Plus it's apparently just as easy to hack as the NES and SNES Mini, so you could always add more games if there are some others that you'd like to see on there.
As for the PC Engine/TurboGrafx console: no, I never owned one, but I have played quite a few of its games, mostly through emulation on my modded Wii, and I must say that it's sadly a highly overlooked console. I'd even go so far as to say that it's the Dreamcast of the 16 bit era. It's a 16 bit arcade gamer's machine, with many great conversions of arcade shooters, and a lot of cool exclusive games such as adventure games, platformers and RPG's.
And the mini version of it, like the Sega Genesis/Megadrive Mini, has quite a lot of games on it straight out of the box, something that Nintendo didn't really nail with either of their Minis, but seeing as I hacked those anyway,
I don't mind all that much.
Anyway, I'd say it's definitely worth a purchase, and I myself am also getting one, so I'm going to expand upon my collection of minis. All I need now is to get my hands on a Neo Geo Mini. Besides currently not having the funds, I also wasn't able to secure one over here, so I have to find other ways of acquiring one.
To give you an idea of what's on offer on the console, here's a video, including the official commercial for the console's release, back in the day:
(DISCLAIMER: there are some duds in there, but most of the games are more than entertaining enough)
One game not shown is Dracula X, aka Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, which according to many, is THE best Castlevania game of the time, if not of all times. It isn't included in this video, because the video is only about cartridge games, and Dracula X is a CD game. It is included on the Turbografx-16 Mini, though, along with several other Turbografx CD based games, so for those titles alone, it's already worth it, in my opinion.
@bimmy-lee The evil unicorn is part of a collection, and they're called "Feisty Pets". Here's the official video from the creators. It's pretty funny, in my opinion:
