Get ready to learn something new about your favorite console you thought you knew everything about.MegaMania has observed that his Grape funtastic PAL console (Serial #NUP 1611072) displays N64 games better that his standard charcoal grey model. He offers three sets of photo comparisons in support of his observation:Notice the speedometerNotice the castle wall under the archwayNotice Mario and Luigi's named and initial on hatThe notion that all or some funtastics have better video output made its way into at least one European gaming magazine according to a post on a Finnish website by uber collector (and N64Forever forum member Finngamer.
