It's meant to be dead, but i really like to have some of the games that have come out recently to add to my collection, and very soon the price will go down.
SO who's kept there's and who hasn't?

Well oh dear. Nintendo seemed to be of little use to you before and now that they are not using cartridges anymore it seems like thay will be of no use to you.

I just have to say, an N64 cartridge couldn't do much as a doorstep. It's not even an inch wide. And if you used it standing up it would be very unstable, not to mention dangerous. Oh.....you risk taker.

I'm not saying it was a load of pap, as I did say it was full of good ideas, but it did nothing for me. I wasn't inspired in any way to pick up the game and play it again, personally playing the game was a chore, and it did feel as though I was being dragged through kicking and screeming, I very rarely was able to play the game withot throwing the cartridge on the floor and using it as a doorstop whilst I dessimated enemy lines with a sniper rifle, or blew go-karts hundreds of feet in the air with red shells.

For me it was a bland, uninspiring game, and not on a par with any of the other games available for the N64.

Hey, Namostar. Zelda:TOOT is my favorite game ever as well. It was just so good. Perfect Dark is close, but only because of the multiplayer. I'm not saying the single player was poor, just that the multiplayer was ace.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't hear it. I didn't hear it. Zelda: TOOT is great. Zelda: TOOT is great.

Zelda on the NES was brilliant. I can pick up and play that anytime as well. You know, the one with the gold cartridge.

Oh that gives me an idea for another James Bond game. "The man with the golden cartridge." Nice!

Are you saying that Zelda OOT is in your opinion, a load of pap? Have you been to the docter lately? OOT was considered by many as the game of the year in 98, and it is the best game I have ever played on, EVER!

Zelda OOT was the most dry, bland game I have played for years, that's when I realised I had grown out of Ninty's games, it was filled with good ideas, but I was bored and uninspired by the game as a whole, but I can still pick up and Play Link's Awakening anytime on my GBC!!

Bonus, I owned World Tour but I bought Wrestlemania as well which was absolutely brilliant. And how could I forget the 2 Zeldas (ok so Majoras mask wasn't brilliant) and Super Mario.
