Throwback project from 2005 !!

I brought my old NES back to life by turning it into a giant handheld console, just like a Gameboy. It took a lot of work to fit everything into a small case that I built myself out of Lexan. I used a cheap controller with turbo buttons and a screen from a PlayStation 1. I even managed to squeeze in a rechargeable battery that lasts for over 3 hours!

The hardest part was making sure everything fit together and worked properly without changing the way the NES played games. I wanted to keep the original sound and feel, and I didn't want to use one of those imitation chips. In the end, it turned out a little heavy, but it's comfortable to hold and definitely worth the effort!

There's plenty of choices for music I loved from games I played as a kid, but I decided to pick something a little more obscure.

One of my favorite games growing up was H.E.D.Z. You play as an alien wearing masks (made from humans 💀 ) that give you different powers. This track plays in the playground themed levels and always intrigued me for having the sound of children playing as part of the song.

For this week's #VGMWednesday the theme is #ChildhoodGames! What comes to my mind is Super Mario Bros 2. When I was younger, I went to my cousin's house frequently just to play on her NES. She's probably the one who gave me my interest in video games (as well as anime).

Out of the first three Super Mario Bros. games I like 2's the most.

If it wasn't the #SonictheHedgehog franchise for #ChildhoodGames, it was the iconic #SpaceChannel5 versus the brainwashing #dance #aliens.

I didn't even play the game... technically. Thumbed a cheat code and enjoyed the show.

Hey! What-chu-chu-chu got on this?
