I use the scart adaptor from my cube on my 64 (and will do on a snes if I ever pull my finger out and get one) probably the best way to do it now as my rf lead for my 64 bit the dust years ago (and it didnt look good on non crt tvs)

I played Golden Eye not so long ago on my LCD and it was a massive blur, I've got a plasma now but haven't tried it again, I hope you get better results because it ruined the nestalgia for me :(. Yet games like DK64, Mario 64 & Kart, Doom, Quake ect all looked fine.

Here is the latest addition to my growing Sega Game Gear collection :)

These white game gears where never commercially released, they were given out as gifts to developers in Japan. Widely considered as the "Holy Grail" of game gears ! Cost me an arm and a leg, could easily have bought a PS3 and a 360 (well pre-owned anyway) for what I paid but I am extremely happy to finally own one !
