Any N64 gamers here? Since the Saturn was rubbish, that's where I made my switch (pardon the pun) to Nintendo. Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time were just momentous. Then you add in Mario Kart 64, Cruisin USA, Diddy Kong Racing, Donkey Kong 64, GoldenEye, Tony Hawk, 1080...

They had an N64 at the after school program when I was at primary in the early 00s. Played heaps on MK64 and Super Smash. LEGO Racers was also fun.

About a month ago, went to a mates place and we were playing Super Smash on the Nintendo Switch. Wow it’s changed from the N64 version, but those nostalgic feels got me.

Bingo! Most people think I'm either a girl called Sarah or that it's a reference to the Hall and Oates song but nope, it's a Panic! reference. They were one of my favourite bands when I joined the site

Including your ex skipper Far Kern.......

Lol.

You wont be laughing when they cancel the cricket

I’ll be simming the cricket games for the cricket board, so we won’t lose out.

I know there are a few Tennis text based sims out there you could try.

Ah P!atD was massive during my emo teenage years, and still holds a place in my heart. Saw them last time they were in Aus, Brendan Urie is a wizard. Also, reminds me of this...

Brazillian players coming directly from Brazil are always a hit and miss in the Premier League.

It used to be a completely different game tactically. Brazilian players needed to get used to a new culture, new language, and new positions. Many weren't prepared to overcome all those challenges.

Is that from 'Airplane'? What a movie!

Here, the movie is known as "Fasten Your Seatbelts; The Pilot Is Gone"

Have you ever played Battrick? One of the original cricket sim games.

I remember watching an episode of Celebrity Who Wants to be a Millionaire. This American big shot (he'd appeared on the first season of American Survivor) came on the show - he was basically one of those Yanks who reckons the sun doesn't rise until he gets out of bed. Anyway, the question for $100 was, "What is 11 x 12?" He looks at all the options, and then says confidently, "Lock in B - 123." So it's locked in, and then he says with a horrified look on his face, "Actually, unlock that." Too late - he walked away with nothing .

Remember that fragile player that the Swamprats have, no not Far Kern

Might have to be more specific, about a dozen of them

I have not, it seems to be a similar concept to something cricinfo had about 15 years ago.

That is the only song I know of the band, and it's still on my iTunes.

Rest in peace Fountain of Wayne singer and guitarist Adam Schlesinger. Poor bloke died this morning aged 52 from complications associated with coronavirus. Terrible news and gone far too soon. He is most famous for writing this iconic song

Yeah, I believe it took inspiration from the soccer equivalent: Hattrick.

I've been playing it for about 15 years (!!!) now, and although it has certainly lost a lot of its novelty, my team is still ticking along.

The idea of building and training a team, and then entering it into the sim adds a layer of complexity on top of these randomly generated ones.

If you’re into cricket, check out the cricket board, working on turning the international season into simmed games. I’m looking for team managers for national sides.

I wasted far too much time on those games. I play one other cricket game abd a rugby game now.

A first-gamer! Good luck as you embark on your SFA career!

It's unfortunate that he'll have to suffer through a loss in his first game. Hopefully you have better luck next week.
