With the arrival of the PS2 and the gamecube and the Xbox, a lot of consoles will be forgot eg the N64. When this console was released it was criminal not to have one. With great games like Golden eye and Banjo kazooi it should still one of the best sellers. It wiped the SEGA SATURN of the charts and was only heard of before it was released so why is the N^$ in the Bin with the rest of the computer consoles. (Mega drive and Master system) These both had great games like sonic and bomerman. i need a reason!!!

Its still tiding me over to the arrival of Gamecube.
It was a great console - AND IT DOES LOOK BETTER THAN A PSX! - Why oh Why couldn;t anybody see that - MGS, the PSX best game, looked shocking compared to Goldeneye, and early N64 title!

N64 is fast becoming a retro console these days. It may have great games, but technically it doesn't cut the pace any more.
Blast corps was an excellent game. I played that to death, wiped all my recods, and did it all again. Several times I did that.
I really should have bought a better quality memory card....
Anyway, it's well worth doing. The moon level simply rocks.
Majora's Mask. There's another one I have to complete sometime. Only thing is, I've rented it twice now, and reached the last temple - so I can't justify buying it.
Banjo Kazooie. Same again. Rented it once, got to the sixth out of the eight levels, and couldn't justify buying it after that.
Mind you, I did want to. I sent my brother down to buy it went it was going for a tenner, ex-rental. The moron came back with a copy of Diddy Kong racing instead. Not a bad game, but I had already finished it...

If I didn't have an N64, I certainly wouldn't buy one now. That said, I'm still getting great enjoyment from my N64.
I recently picked up Blast Corps for £10 or so, and it's a great game. With trucks and robots you smash buildings. Excellent! With a truck carrying a nuclear missile to clear a path for, it can sometimes get a bit frantic. I'm looking for the last 3 scientists at the moment, then I believe there are some extra stages for me to find. I also found a level that looked like a pool table yesterday. You had to use the Ramdozer to put a crate of TNT in each pocket. Top stuff.
I bought Perfect Dark a few months ago, and have yet to give that a great deal of attention.
I've finally borrowed Majora's Mask back from my brother, so I can start that again, and hopefully finish it this time.
And yesterday I 'won' two ebay auctions, and will have Jet Force Gemini and Pokemon Stadium coming to me soon enough.
Plenty to keep me busy until May, that's for sure.
