snes

So I didn't come from a rich family. I never got video games as a kid the day they came out, or even the year they came out. The SNES was released in 1990. I got my SNES in 1995. It came from a garage sale, and had a crack in the side of it.

The woman who sold it to my mom said there's a nickle stuck inside, but it still works. My mom put some tape over the hole in the side, and it did still run.

And that's how it still is to this day. Not that I use it often. In fact, I can't remember the last time I turned on my actual SNES. The carts are more of memories for me.

Anybody else do this? You hook the game boy camera into the super game boy. You hook the super game boy into the SNES. You run the video out composit cable (the yelllow one) into the video in feed of a VCR.

Then, you get a cassette recorder plus a 3.5mm audio cord on one end, and composit audio on the other end (it's going to be red and black, but you can hook them up just fine to the red and white inputs).

You record whatever the audio is supposed to be on cassette first. Then you rewind, start recording, on VCR, hit play on the cassette, and act out the scenes. Trying to match up the voice up to the lips.

.........I made a lot of weird videos as a teenager in the late 90s. One was just a bunch of action figures talking about pasta. As you slowly learn that one of the action figures is racist against Italians.

Another was me doing pro wrestling moves with my buddy, until one of us hit each other in the gut so hard, that he started spraying poo out of his ass (despite still wearing pants). We used chocolate syrup for the poo, because if it's good enough for hitchcock, it's good enough for me!

Anyone else do this?

For me it's Pilotwings ✈️, SMK 🏎️ and TMNT 🐢

Is it just me, or do you also leave your snes/emulator running a game while you do other things? I find it relaxing listening to the sounds and having demos played on the tv. Sometimes I leave Super Mario Kart all day long :)
