  My uncle gave me one with about 10 games back in the early 90s. He just didn’t want it sitting around anymore. Problem was, i had a regular and super Nintendo by that point… I honestly had more fun setting it up than i did playing it.

      “E waste?” In the early 90s?!? LMAO!

      I’m not sure exactly what happened to it, but death by firing squad, followed by incineration, and then repurposed into lead paint or used as seasoning at an elementary cafeteria would be par for the course back in those days.

        Or sitting in a cupboard off-gassing, oozing, and generally making the home a safer environment.

        It does remind me of the Acts of Gord's use for an N64 - as a doorstop with a note saying "This is all I am good for."
