Go to a highstreet store beginning with G, ending in Station. N64 normal cost around £15 there. Should find a reasonable selection of games in each to. Normally priced around £5 for unboxed games.

Get GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, Mario 64/Kart, WaveRace, 1080, Pilotwings, Forsaken, Banjo Kazooie... sorted

I agree. If only they'd make a sequel.

It's also doubtful that you'll find the console ust on it's own. Usually you'd have to buy a load of games with it, but it's usually worth it. You might find a gem like Snowboard Kids (2 if you're the luckyest person in the world), or Rakuga Kids.

Anyone remember Rakuga Kids?

I got my console, fully boxed with Mario 64 for the small sum of £25 a year and about 4 months ago.

Yes.

Games should all be uder £10, and the console should be about £25-£30. Controllers and that are generally about £7 each, and memory cards are cheap if you can find them.
