UPDATE:
If we're going to do this, we would not start an actual store and put a lot of money into it. We would most likely work with a company called cafepress, which will take care of ordering, printing, shipping and customer service (if needed
).
We will not buy like 20 t-shirts, 10 mugs etc. and sell them ourselves, but instead we will get a percentage on all merchandise sold. The plan is not to start a money machine, but to have a little fun.

Earlier today I discussed with Jabo (PJ64 author), Azimer (Apollo author) and Schibo (1964 author) about selling merchandise with 1964/apollo/emu64/emutalk/pj64 logos and art work on them, and they all agreed to it as a great idea. What do you think?
A skilled gfx artist could design new logos, for them to have the same style. One product could have several logos, or just your favorite one. Like a mouse pad with the Emutalk logo on or a t-shirt with all your favorite N64 emus on the front on back of it.
Who would you support through bying these products then? Primarily, the authors! How is that for paying a little bit of respect for the thousands of hours spent on these great emulators? Also, you would support all the websites hosted by Emu64 as it would help paying for the server.
What kind of merchandise would we sell then? Here's a list of ideas...
- T-Shirt
- Long Sleeve T-Shirt
- Ladies T-Shirt
- Tank Top
- Sweatshirt
- Pen
- Mug
- Cap
- Bucket Hat
- Boxer Shorts
- Mouse Pad
- Keychains (Slougi's idea)
- Stickers (Keith's idea)
Well, what do you say? Would you buy a product and support us? Vote at the poll I've setup! Also, feel free to suggest anything, and bring new ideas to our attention. Thanks for participating.
