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?

Oh tragic, instead of playing N64 games in a Gamecube we play them on the N64, Oh you can play PS games on the PS2, Why? Just play them on the playstation! If i want toplay a 64 game i play it on the 64!

We are not going through any pain we are enjoying playing the games!

Nope. Never abandon it.

Actually, the main problem is that I can;t abandon any of my current consoles, even the Saturn. It's not even that I get time to play them very often, just that there are at least a couple of games on each system that I like playing.

The next console to go will be my PSX, but one of these days it will get replaced by a PS2 (maybe when they finally go down in price again) which is why I'm keeping most of my games, even though I won't have the console.

I couldn't get rid of my N64 with all the games I have for it, in the same way that I couldn't get rid of my DC or Saturn. I did part-ex my GBC for a game the other week, but then I have a GBA anyway, so that doesn't count.

Mine is still my primary games machine (well, its either that or my MegaDrive).

I still play No Mercy, nearly half a year after it was released. I'm hoping to get Exitebike if I can ever muster the money together. Conker was amazing, if a little short lived, and Majoras Mask is still incomplete. Banjo-Tooie is just Donkey Kong+, although the multiplayer is a laugh.

I spose I should probably get a DC to tide me over until I can afford a Gamecube. But that would involve money, something that eludes me.

I was without my PSone for a month until I got my PS2. God, I missed the little tyke.

That's the beauty of Sony making the PS2 backwards compatible. It means PS2 owners don't have the heartbreak N64 and DC owners are going through.

I say keep it. I'll be keeping mine for a few reasons. Partly because it's really too much hassle to bother selling it, and secondly there are still good games on it that I don't own. Now that prices will fall I should be able to get cheap copies of classic games I never played, or only experienced a rental of - like Majora's Mask, both the Banjo games, even Waverace.

Come to think of it, does anyonr know where I can get hold of a NES with both the Zelda games?

So much I've missed out on.....

I've had a lil' break from my N64 for the mo since I bought a DC, but when I have some mates round, I always go to Goldeneye or PD. I'll never throw it away or sell it.

I've still got mine and intend to hang onto it.
At the mo' the onlly games that I've got that I will definately go back to are the Zelda games, but there are quite a few that I intend to pick up when the prices drop to a suitable level.

I did this with my SNES and now I can buy classic SNES titles (UN Squadron, DKC, Metroid, etc) for as little as £2!!!

Admittedly the N64 has got a while to go before the games I'm after drop to those prices but I've got plenty of other games to play on my 3 consoles whilst I wait!
