You have to be prepared for disasters – whether it is a hurricane, a tornado, a zombie apocalypse, whatever. The end result could be that you could be without power. Forget food and water and blankets. You need to be ready to be able to play some classic Nintendo while you wait to be rescued.
Redditor robotairz has you covered. He has created a portable set-up that you can build yourself. This shock-proof yellow Pelican 1300 case is loaded with an SNES console, controllers, and games. It has everything two players need to keep themselves entertained for hours while civilization crumbles around them. It runs on batteries and even has a built in charger and LCD screen.
It cost about $425 to build, but being able to play Donkey Kong Country is priceless.

You know what they say – if you want to do something, do it right. Hence, the same can be said for collecting stuff (I’m not referring to hoarders here as they are an entirely different creature altogether). Here we are with a collector who has great love for video games, and he has put up his entire US Super Nintendo collection for sale at a cool $20,000, although he has an ear to listen to other offers as well. It is said that all the games in his collection will include the box, with 85% of them carrying a manual. Ah yes, game manuals, now that is definitely a lost art when you think about it. Seller “byuu” is the very same person behind the popular bsnes emulator, accumulated all the games in a time span of 3 years, in an effort to ensure that every ROM available is perfect, with every scan of the cover being accurate.
