    I think METROID was about the only NES game I completed in a single sitting, crazy enough, rented it back in the day, and a friend stayed over who eventually fell asleep while I kept playing 😝I was obsessed, oh I took breaks to pee and eat, I don't know how many hours passed but I finished it. Those days are long gone lol. One of my favorite's for NES along with Legend of Zelda.

    Bob's Garden Play sample no commentary (Mr. Do! clone for AMIGA)
    Here I quickly and poorly sample the game using AMIGA emulator FS-UAE for PC - Bob's Garden - An excellent clone of the arcade classic Mr. Do! for the Commodore AMIGA. I love Mr. Do! with my favorite version being on the Colecovision, however, back in my AMIGA days I was thrilled to find this little gem for any ESC/OCS Commodore AMIGA since it was PD/Freeware and turned out to be a very playable version as well.

    Very cool. As far as real hardware I do not own a Famicom, I DO have one of those adapters you can use plug plug a Famicom cart into a NES or compatible system, that said I only have a  single Famicom cart at that itself is a cheapo knockoff multicart with mostly bad titles 😆I guess another option is using my original Nintendo or my Retrobit RetroTrio clone (it plays NES / SNES / GENEIS carts) and I could use my EverDrive N8 Flashcart and load Famicom roms off it. I will likely never own an original Famicom since my collecting is highly curbed these days but I always like the looks of them compared to the North American NES and the carts, don't even get me started, from label art to the compact size I was amazed by Famicom carts and was always disappointed we didn't get that design. Nice and interesting write up, thanks for sharing.

    The real question is… is there an adapter from HDMI to coaxial? It would probably have to be a box you plug in the wall, but I wonder if it exists at all. Probably not. All my CRTs except for one are coaxial only.

    Well, I suppose one could use the method in the first post but plug the output RCA cables to the INPUT of a trusty old VCR and output the Coaxial TO TV 😆

    I think I have the DC release of this but never actually tried to play it LOL! Are they 3D platform action type games or ?

     

    It is listed as single player Action Adventure. It is a 3rd person 3D environment some platforming elements, I guess something like Tomb Raider but with dark gothic themes, probably more comparable to something like Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver which is another example of a great one if you are into these type of games. I played the N64 followed by Dreamcast which was definitely my favorite until this updated PC version came along.

    I recently updated the oldest desktop computer in my office with Windows 7 and it works like a charm with Windows 10.

    With a few older laptops I have found over the years, honestly I have had no issue running Windows 10 on anything that came with Windows 7 / Windows Vista / Windows 8. 

    Meaning installed fine and stable, for sure where possible if I have some spare parts I upgrade with a trickle down affect on other machines, I like to take it up to 8 GB memory and replace the hard drive, especially a slow 5400 rpm with just about any sized SSD at least to boot off of. Not always possible of course depending on what I have spare but yeah this Sony Vaio with just 4 gb and 5400 rpm Hard drive definitely does the job in  pinch. Admittedly I DO tweak and customize a lot, suppress telemetry and disable Cortana etc,  these are my default actions I have always done on Windows kicking useless start up programs and background tasks to the curb to save every precious resource. In daily serious use I prefer not to use a Windows machine with less than 8 gb ram and at least an i5 CPU (Or AMD equivalent) but the old nerd in me gets pleasure seeing just how far I can push these old machines while gaining some use out of them, especially these old tank built laptops that others have discarded without thought. 😀
