Vintage Computer Games From Nintendo - N64

Time for some more vintage computer games!
Here's my old Nintendo N64 64-bit console. It still works, along with almost all the cartidges.

Here are some of the many cartidges I still have. I have a lot of racing stuff. The NASCAR game rocks.

Star Fox rocks.

Here's a controller.

Here's the cat, checking the controller for quality and responsiveness.

I decided to remove it from the TV it was on due to the way it's little cable thingee causes the signal from my antenna to be weaker. Since I got the new digital converter box for my old-fashined analog TV, the Nintendo cable hookup caused the signal to be just a tad too weak. I'll be hooking the N64 beast up to another TV as a new project.

Dog's Revenge - Michael Vick Dog Chew Toy!!!

Ok, time for poking some fun at a professional (or, formerly professional) athlete who screwed up. Now he's a professional license plate maker/rock pounder/chain gang banger.

Get your dog the Michael Vick Dog Chew Toy today. Help your dog get a good workout. This toy is the toughest toy your dog can tackle. It flies, bounces, and floats. It's a winning toy that will last season after season.

Your dog will be glad you did, especially if the dog keeps up with current news events.

Atari 2600 Vanguard Game

Oh how I love old video games. Here's a blast from the past - The Atari 2600 Vanguard Game

Ahh, does this ever bring back the 80's or what?

Oh, Look Who Won Another NASCAR Sprint Cup Race

There he is, JEFF GORDON, winner of the latest NASCAR Sprint Cup Race.

OK, usually at this point I'm typing in ALL-CAPS about how great he is. Or, maybe about how great his teammate JIMMY JOHNSON is. However, today I'd like to point out how great they are using lower-case letters. And, using the facts.

Jeff Gordon has pretty much won at least one race at every NASCAR track currently run. This week, he won at Texas. Texas was the only track he hasn't won a race at. WAS. Like, in the past.

Also, he has 82 victories now. This is the 6th-highest of everyone who ever raced in NASCAR. That means only 5 racers have more wins. And, he's only 37 years old. Mark Martin, one of his teammates, is in his 50's. So hopefully Jeff will eventually have more wins than anyone ever in NASCAR. GO JEFF!!!! Ooops, those pesky ALL_CAPS - CAN YOU TELL I'M EXCITED?????

Just awhile ago, I was thinking Jimmie Johnson (one of Jeff's great teammates) would become the new NASCAR God. Looks like maybe it could be JEFF GORDON?

This sport is so complicated to make predictions.
