My mom painted this on wooden canvas and gave it to me as a Christmas gift. She's truly the best!!

After 5 years of going to garage sales, flea markets, goodwill, pawn shops, and every place in between, I have finally completed the quest of finding every single Nintendo 64 game ever made.

This was a challenge because the games are now 30 years old and exponentially increasing in value year by year. Even while on vacation or family outings, I would stop by whatever hole in the wall I could find to look for some rare treasure.

At first, this was just something fun to do and got me out of the house when my son was born, but as the years went on, I realized, “maybe this is achievable?”

I want to thank my wife, Bethany , for always letting me drag her to retro video game stores & putting up with my nonstop random trivia facts and ramblings. Also, my buddy, Rick, for always being someone I can talk to about life and loss, grief, baseball, and good times. Collecting is just more fun with a bro who’s on the journey with you.

What a dream come true.

RIP Meemaw and Peepaw

My newest design and print finished off today. Follows up from Peach's Castle last year. (Last 2 photos)

I seem to have gained a passion for bringing N64 in-game items and levels to "life" or at least physical objects! I think it adds a neat dimension and hits that nostalgia.

I initially tried this last year but gave up after a decent effort. Restarted about a week ago and got stuck in. Approx 25 hours of work in the modelling etc. Print time of 16 hours. 11 colours and a bit over half a kilo of filament.

I've tried to keep as true to in-game as I can. Read more and check it out if you like on the model page over on makerworld. Here

played this Zelda OOT after release as a kid, and this was peak graphics, and the town overlook details was so next level.

doing a playthrough now on pc and it still holds up

I don't think I will, i'm saving up for a 5X upscaler and I think that's good enough for me. Unless there are major improvements that a 5X and a normal N64 can't replicate, I might get one.

I finally got this Pokemon Snap Kiosk Open and what I found was insane. It had not only one but 2 full boxes of Power Cards! It has the original signage, instruction leaflets and the original paper instructions that employees would have used to set up the cabinet. I didn’t think that it had any game carts in it but lo and behold the Cabinet contained BOTH Pokemon Snap AND Pokemon Stadium Demo carts!!!! I’m beyond excited about it. One thing that I noticed about the games is that they are clean, like really clean. I don’t think that they were ever played. I took my loop and looked at the pins on the boards and they are mint. I’m almost positive that neither of them where ever inserted into an N64. If that’s true, do you think it would be worth having them graded?

I'm curious as to how much money I cost my library in paper cheat code printouts in my younger days. Kids these days have Google. It's just not the same.

He came in clutch with this one! I’ve been wanting Majora’s Mask and he surprised me with this. It was a $20 dollar limit haha he went over that for sure!

My wife and I went to yard sale today and found this in bubble wrap. Though it was late morning, the summer heat could've cooked this. The bubble wrap definitely protected it from direct sunlight.

Trying to decide if I should keep or sell it?
