Maybe, but when it came out I remember thinking about how awesome it looked. 

That's true for just about any console.  When they first come out I love the looks, but very few consoles have aged well in terms of styling.

The N64. I remember when the first pics surfaced. All I could think was "Why?!?!?!"  Fucking gross :(

- Legend of Zelda., Parallel Worlds Redone 1.1 (or if you really like challenge then the normal, non-redone version).
- Secret of Mana 2, 3-player version.
- Super Metroid Redesign. (maybe other hacks aswell).

Ick. I never got the hype behind PW. It's miserable IMO.  And metroid redesign is painfully difficult. Like my hands actually hurt after playing it. I think Zero Mission is a far better crafted hack.

I'd stick with as many translated titles as possible. Secret of Mana 2, Bahamut Lagoon, Treasure of Rudras, etc.   There are very few ROM hacks worth playing.

In terms of the N64 I think all the coloured shells look nice, although the Pokemon themed ones are pretty disgusting as a design. Clunky and yuck haha.

Will do Wiggy, that was the plan anyway. I think I'm just going to end up paying the extra cash for PAL versions so I can lend them around to my friends, it just sucks that they cost so much more :(

It's probably because finding the donors is a lot more expensive (if you're buying them from someone in the US). Does indeed suck though :/

Does this particular maker allow buyers to send in their own donors?  Might make it cheaper...
