Nintendo Delights: Customised Consoles

July 2, 2014 By ausretrogamer

There are some horrific customised paint jobs on Nintendo consoles, then there is Zoran’s creations, which are, simply put, stunning. From the Super Metroid themed SNES (Ed: oh that scorched orange!), Choplifter II camo original Game Boy, and to my favourite, the TRON: Legacy N64, complete with beautiful lighting – perfect for playing Perfect Dark or Goldeneye 007 in the dark!

Just take a look at some of Zoran’s creations and let us know your favourite via Twitter or Facebook.

The 1996 Toys ‘R’ Us Christmas Catalog

December 26, 2013 By ausretrogamer

Hands up who keeps their retail catalogues from years gone by? I see no hands. Well, I am glad that someone did. Take a trip down nostalgia lane and drool over the video gaming gear that was on sale at Toys ‘R’ Us (USA) during the 1996 holiday season.

Grape64: Build Your Own Portable N64

October 30, 2013 By ausretrogamer

If you are good with your hands and are technically oriented, you may want to check out this Instructables article on how to build your very own portable N64 unit!

Imagine playing Goldeneye on this baby! Since I do not have the necessary tools (or skills), I’ll just wait for someone to build this and sell it on eBay.
