"Long live the Nintendo 64..."

As great as Gamecube is, the N64 will live on in memory as a truly wonderful, magical console.
It gave un true analogue control, four player, and some other stuff.

Its death see the death of cartidge based (proper) consoles - the GBA carries on that legacy.

Rest in peace my dear friend you will never be forgotten - at least for another couple of years.


10 N64 games you should own:
The Ocarina of Time
Goldeneye
Perfect Dark
Super Mario 64
Paper Mario
Conkers Bad Fur Day
Majora's Mask
Mario Tennis
Mario Kart 64
Blast Corps

Tahnkyou for listening.

There'll be no more posts from me today, im off home (i is now at uni where i should be doing work rather than be on this forum) to sit on the toilet and read NGC.
Thankyou, goodbye and i'll be back tomorrow.

Rogue Squadron was the best-est N64 star wars game, and of the ISS's 98 ruled.

Long live the Amiga! Coolest computer during early 90's

On the subject of N64...live long...RIP...forever...whatever,

How many of you still regualrly play on your 64's?

I do, and I still buy games for it - I just got Turok 3 and Wipeout 64 yesterday.

I though Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire was an underrated game. I still remember getting it one launch day and being blown away by the great graphics and faithful Star Wars music (and I remember being totally ripped off by Dixons for my N64 bundle, but what the heck).
The gameplay was nice and varied, with some terrific levels on-foot, on a speeder bike and in your ship, and there were a few naff levels, but I loved it.

Plus, lets not forget the N64 versions of ISS. Still the best in my vast ISS experience, better than Pro Evo.

San Francisco Rush was also a much treasured game for me, mainly as it could be played 2-player simultaneous, and the tracks were full of real-life San Fran landmarks and cool short-cuts. The handling wasn't great, but I got used to it.

Pilotwings is a magical game - its relaxing up to the point where you thrust the controller through the screen coz you were 1 point away from a perefct score!

It did get get pretty dull pretty quick though - but its the type of game you can dip in and out of regularly.

I was dissappointed at MK 64 (DKR was way better, I reckon) but the Multiplayer was sublime, which is why its the list i posted.

The trouble with Pilotwings 64 was the MASSIVE boarders at the top and bottom the screen, it really was like looking through a letterbox.
And I think you're right about Mario Kart 64 not being as good as the SNES version, with its over reliance on the power-sliding boost move and the controls didn't feel as responsive as I would have liked. I guess it really was impossible to better the SNES version.

I thought 1080 was gay, Pilotwings lost it's magic very quickly and Mario Kart 64 was terribly inferior to its predecessor.

Ok lets peplace those 10 for a 20.

And its goes som=ething like this:
the previous 10 then,
Banjo Kazooie
Pilotwings 64
Waverace 64
1080
F-zero x
Diddy Kong Racing
Banjo Tooie
Donkey Kong 64
Mario Golf
Mario Party 2

Feel free to add to the list as you see fit.
Any recomendations will be greatly appreciated.
