I actually decided since we were planning a carboot sale between me and my sister that I would sell my N64 and games at last. I had about 12 games and the Mario 64 N64 pack and I sold the whole lot, almost all but the N64 and the 5 of the games during the first 5 minutes of setting up by the really really early buyers. I sold each game to begin with at £5 a piece then down to 4. Then when i was down to 4 games and the N64 I was wondering whether i would actually sell them, then luckily 2 9-ish kids persuaded their dad to buy the 4 remaining games and te N64 with Mario 64 and controller for £30. So i got just over £55 for the whole lot. But of course that wasn't the only thing there we sold during the morning (had to get up at 615 and be there at 6:30 for the early morning rush to get there, 10 minutes after we got there there was a huge queue to get in to sell stuff. Me and my sister shared the total profit 50:50 (£107.30) and got £53.65 each (i told you coz not everybody can work it out). So it was quite a good time altogether.

I've got a GC and I don't even use it anymore, plus it's complicated to use the wires now that i have digital tv. Plus my fav games OoT and majoras mask are already available to me on the GC due to special disks.

You'll miss it when you realise you can no longer play Body Harvest, Jet Force Gemini, Banjo Kazooie, Snowboard Kids... :' {

You will miss your N64 one day.

Especially as it's such a milestone system.

Banjo being the only one on there i had, plus one of my best friends (i have 4, i consider all 4 more important friends than my other ones) has banjo kazooie already, so i can always just play it there, along with my unsold copy of mario kart 64 and original grey controller which i let him borrow, now he can buy it from me as he wished to purchase any games left over, which there were none except this.

There's a Snowboard Kids game in development for the NDS. I cried with tears of joy when I found that out.
