So we can return us taste the rainbow

Hi everyone and welcome to another micro episode of RetroNots. We're down to the letter F

and here to celebrate the letter F with us is Caitlin Oliver whose name does not start with F. No it does not. F is familiar.

So what's up with you Caitlin who are you tell us about yourself? I am mostly known for being a world record holder in Splatterhouse the arcade version from 1988.

And we're actually at Midwest Gaming Classic Expo right now or Midwest Gaming Classic I guess it's just what is called.

Which is why it's so noisy but that's okay. You like noise you like liveliness. We're not going to talk about Splatterhouse though.

Instead we're talking about one of the other things that Caitlin's famous for which is her resplendent shell of Famicom cartridges the Famicom Rainbow.

Yeah I like to make rainbows and arrange things in very particular ways. Satisfies my need to obsessively organize.

Yeah every few weeks I see on the something awful forums RetroThread you post like a new photo of your gaming setup but it's not that different.

It's just you like find new ways to arrange things in rainbow colors and it's interesting like part of it really bugs my OCD because yes okay so Spectrum Rainbow Cool I got it.

But that's not how you organize games it got to be alphabetical or chronological but you know I'm a sick person who does chrono gaming stuff and that's not healthy.

All of my other games are alphabetically arranged every one of them but I make exceptions for the Famicom Vames very specifically because I think they display better this way.

And I can only read half the titles anyway because Mike Congee kind of sucks so I'm with you.

Pointas like how would I like what I arrange it by US title or JP title so I just stopped worrying about that and decided it looked prettier this way.

Right and I'm mostly remember what colors my games are so it's really not that hard.

What do you do with neutrals like blacks and silvers?

They are grouped though gold is my book end but the black and white ones are just grouped because there's just an abundance of black and white cards.

What did ship in gold now that I'm thinking about it?

I can mostly think of a few Namco games like Dragon Buster.

Yeah Dragon Buster. Dragon Buster originally shipped in no it was Buster. It was Dragon Buster. Once you said it I know it.

Dragon Buster definitely shipped in gold. I've seen a couple of other ones. Most of the ones I see end up reading pretty worn kind of like the Zelda Gold cards.

Yeah the back meddling didn't do so great.
