It's so obvious, even a fool could see it, the Playstation and Playstation 2 are aimed at adults and these are the consoles we should be playing. Give your N64 to your little cousin or your brother and get a Playstation.

The evidence is easy to spot, just look at the titles on offer. The Playstation boasts many adult orientated games such as Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Muppet racing and Seasame Street. How can the N64 compete when it only has childish games such as Perfect Dark, Goldeneye, Turok and not to mention the kiddies games Quake 2 and Conkers Bad Fur Day.

Ok, to be fair, the N64 has a few adult games, like Mario (far too difficult for kids to complete), Banjo Kazooe (how do you expect kids to solve those puzzles?) and Diddy Kong racing (children have problems controlling the planes) but compared to the overwhelming odds of Playstation titles such as Super Bombad racing and Disney's Dinosaur, it doesn't really fit in to any adults life at all.

So that's why I say, give your N64 away to some kid that deserves it and be content to play all of your adult games on a truly adult console.

It certainly is ol' Sniper. Rock solid too. I completed it all the way through, but you have to do it alll again on a higher engine class. I can't even do the first race....mind you racing games are one of the games I am bad at. Give me a Zelda game and it will be complete in a week.

oh yes the debug mode, thats mad!!!! But in general the game is faster, i read it in N64 magazine, and Nintendo win hands down in the fast racer depatment, F Zero rules but lacks in the graphics department and Pod Racer just rules

Wipeout is just how can i say not as good as i hoped, too well nuts really, i didn't hate it but didn't really like it!
