Here I sit beside my Nintendo 64, as it cougths out it's last games, I will get the poor systems final games Tony Hawks 2, Paper Mario, Mario Party 3 and well that's about it.

At the start of this year I felt the N64 was still booming, Conker, Banjo, Excitebike, Star wars: Battle for Naboo and Pokemon stadium 2.

Yet when I heared Indiana Jones had been canned in this country I noticed even THQ who had kept the N64 alive for those extra six months at the start of this year had given up on this lost soul. Nintendo try (and succeed) to take are mind off our dying friend with the GBA but they like everyone know the the N64 is at death's door after producing (shock horror) a bad game in the form of Dr Mario, desperate to make the N64 seem more alive.

So there I sit beside the bed of my favourite console ever, waiting as the impending doom of the system grows ever closer. I think back to the days when I waited for Zelda Majora's Mask to come or Perfect Dark to finally get a release date.

But it was those breath taking games that made me love this system and although it's future is bleak it has set the groundwork for the Gamecube which will live in memory of its older brother. So there I sit not letting go of my contoller and I know that when this console can go on no more I won't be the only one to shed a tear.

That reminds me of how i got my copy of f zero max velocity, i got a copy of quake 3 revolution for free from the coke auction (i dont have a ps2 so it was still sealed up), then i went into EB and asked how much i would get for a trade in, the woman got the impression that the game had been purchased at that store and gave me a full £39.99 store credit, bonus!

Perhaps, but if you keep feeding a lion with crap, it will get angry and bite.
