I'd love to see one on online multiplayer on retro consoles/arcade machines via emulators.
The topic has always interested me, but it seems a bit intimidating...

Definitely agree. I'd love to be able to plug an N64 controller in and play some Rainbow Six with my friend back home. I'd definitely get an N64 PC controller just for that.

And this would all be possible...if he got a decent computer, that is. :lol:

I think one of the best guides you can have is "Cleaning and Maintaining your console to live longer"

maybe you can have it in sections, with each section dedicated to one console.

this is a good one. The NES and SNES I just found don't seem to work, but maybe they just need to be cleaned...

I'd like to see a tab-cutting guide for the SNES so it can play SFC games.

How about a guide to playing imports on the various systems. I know most of the 101 guides mention this, but it would be nice to have them all in one guide.

This would be nice for sure. I always see videos and articles on cleaning the inside and outside of consoles with various products. It would be nice to hear more from this site about this rather than random idiots on youtube.
Need a great VIDEO GAME PODCAST to listen to??

I'd really like a Supergun and Arcade Component guide. I have a few questions regarding the building of a supergun and compatibilty issues (i've been reading up on jamma nation x and some other other sites).
