    Yep.  Watched those GI Joe cartoons followed with Transformer cartoons.  Ah the good ol' days.  Now a days people see that, Tom & Jerry, and Looney Tunes and it's all, "That's offensive and violent."  Blah.  What ever happened to good old slapstick comedy?  Oh dear...please don't let modern society see the 3 Stooges...someone might get a knot in their drawers.

    The N64 was the last of the cartridge systems.  I have to admit that I admire that console.  It has some great games both 1st and 3rd party.  Midway supported it very well as did Rare. I have a lot of good memories on the console with the RUSH series and the Rare platformer/adventure games (Gemini, Conker, Banjo, Perfect Dark, etc.).  I could listen to the Cruis' N World theme all day long and not get tired of it.  The only aspect of the N64 I had issues with were with the controllers.  I would wear out the thumbsticks in about three months.  And it was hard for me to find aftermarket controllers that were comfortable.  It's just a neat and unique system to own with fun choices of colors, only cartridge system to make use of an expansion port (for something other than a CD-ROM), and is overall pleasing to use.  The controllers are surprisingly comfortable and easy to use and they don't cause cramps.
    I've never played RE on the N64, only on PS.  I'd like to know how it stands up today.  Oh...F-Zero on the N64 is a no-brainer.  That's a must-own N64 title!

    I guess it's just me then.  I'm more of a what can I take that I'd get the most out of person.  I don't think of just games on long trips.  That's why I chose a PSP.  A bit slow in the web browsing department but it would work.  There are lots of free wi-fi hot spots nowadays.  And if I want to switch from a game to a video the PSP would allow that.  
    If I was allowed to take more than one I'd have to pick GBA SP model with at least one Pokémon game.

    I had an original GameBoy for road trips when I was a teen.  I didn't have a Lynx.  I don't consider battery life anymore.  I would use a car adapter.  Had one when I lived out of my car for my PSP.  I loved that thing!  It had movies and games.  I had entertainment, I was content.  If I had to choose just one now, and I had plenty of content for it, I'd have to go with a PSP only because of its abilities to get online, play games, play music, and play movies.  Its sort of the all-in-one portable platform.

    We have two confirmed cases here in Missouri...one in St Louis and the other in Springfield.  Neither life threatening at the moment.  Our area?  Nothing but there is not a single store here that has toilet paper, paper towels, or tissues.  No diaper wipes either.  It would make more sense to me if stores ran out of food...not paper products.
