"Nintendo 64"

Here a question.

How long do people think the N64 has left to live?

With games like Perfect Dark, Zelda: The Continuing Sage, Turok 3, A Resident Evil game, Top Gear Rally 2, and a bunch of other wicked games this year. How long will the N64 live for? Specially with the PS2 and Dolphin on the horizon how much longer can the N64 last?

Yeah but Nitendo always make their console smaller, the original gameboy was almost half the size of the gamegear, and even if it did have colour it never had classics like TETRIS and Mario, all 5 carts!! they had games like sonic which only appeared once and other crap titles. I never owned a Mega drive so I don't really know what they were like, but I did play on them a bit, I liked games like streets of rage, there was also a aliens game I played the other day when we pulled our consoles out our lofts, it was like a light gun game but without the light gun. I don't know the game so i'll just finish saying that gameplay matters! Sonic never compared with Mario, Lara Croft never made it as Sony's heroine, because she was out on the PC. Mario Made a film, but Sonic had his own little cartoon series, and I think he still does, it's really bad though! oh yeah Mario had a cartoon series aswell, so that shows that Nintendo had the best advertisment skills before Sony stepped in.

Because if it walked it'd get mugged.

"Can I have a bun please"

John was sitting in the pub feeling a bit down, when his friend Brian walks in, comes across and says, "What's up, not drinking?"
John replied "this is my 21st".
Brian said, "well this calls for a celebration, I'll buy you a drink".
He returned with a beer, and John smiled and said "Cheers, this is my 22nd".

A policeman spots a jay walker. He walks over to him and says, "Hey, what are you doing trying to cross the road here for, can't you see there's a zebra crossing 50 yards down the road?"
The pedestrian replies, "I hope it's having better luck than I am".

To give the ants a fifty - fifty chance.

Most people can roast beef.

I have decided, since I have nothing better to do, to put up some jokes.
The ones with questions will have the question in the subject box, and the answer in the message bit, the others will all be in the message bit, and there'll be something like 'read' or something in the subject bit.

They may be good, bad or ugly, but since they're here for free you can't complain. Maybe I'll put some more up when I can think of them too.

You're right about that, and the games are brilliant, especially Perfect Dark, which is twice as good as Goldeneye.

After waiting ages for Tony Hawk to be released for the n64, it finally came out. I decided to buy the game, but when I phoned special-reserve to order it, they said it had been taken off the market. The shops keep saying they should have a new delivery of the game any day, but after months of waiting -- nothing.
I've heard rumours of a dispute between Mr. Hawk himself & Sony, but nothing substantial.

If anyone has any news of where Tony Hawk 64 has gone, I would like to know. If the rumours are true, and Tony Hawk is no longer on sale, then I would like to here of someone that has one of the rare copies it for n64, and would be willing to sell it to me.
