On a tangent, I picked up a raspberry pi 4 for xmas with the hope of turning it into an N64 box via retropie. All hopes were soon dashed when I discovered that it can only emulate at about half speed and the audio is excruciating. If a mature system such as retropie can't get N64 running then I wouldn't hold out much hope for random Chinese boxes such as this. Of course the ideal machine would be the Switch but Nintendo keep holding out on N64 games there...
When I was a lad my favourite Australian football team's iconic jumper had only one logo on it: "Speed Kills" from the government agency trying to prevent traffic accidents. I always thought it was ironic because they were the fastest team in the league.
Bennett Foddy didn't make VVVVVV. That was Terry Cavanagh. I highly doubt he made Ape Out as well - he's the QWOP guy; the Getting Over It guy.
That crank though... I first thought it would be some gimmick where it's the only way to charge the battery. Hence you really have to make a "play date" with yourself and commit to it.
Not sure whether I'm disappointed or relieved now...
Edit: so I bought Ape Out on the weekend and I have to admit I was wrong about that one - Bennett Foddy is listed in the opening credits. Don't give him Terry Cavanagh's stuff though!

Re: Gallery: Flicking Through Sega Master System: A Visual Compendium
Before N64 rocked my world, I was all about Psycho Fox on the Master System. There was just something about it that was mysterious and awesome.
