My new poem:
Get your guns men we're having a fight
Don't stop firing until victory burns bright
Defend it until you die! Defend it until you die!
Good graphics:who cares Fast animation: whatever
N64 always rules!
Get your guns men we're having a fight

This is so sad it made me cry as it happens everytime i look at dreamcast stuff, although i have the last laugh, fighting vipers 2 for a tenner and F355 for £12 bargins.
i'll never let my DC die nor my PS2 when it's day comes, i still have my Snes to :)

Its in that position now that all dying consoles face. Pushed to the back of shops, only half its original selection of accessories left on the shelf. Just one colour of Joypad, maybe 2 if your lucky. A few crappy third party accessories. A bunch of games, most of them second hand trade ins. Alone it sits on console death row.

Sad but true I have an N64 and the games are not cheap and the EB where I live don't have any games under the price £40 I would if I was getting and game would be get on second hand because there is nothing wrong with them.
Secondhand is bad if you are buying a CD game meaning PSone,Ps2,PC etc because the game are always scrathes.

I'm trying to keep mine alive for as long as I can be bothered, with the 20-30 games which I have for it, but some of them are for sale if you want any!
yeh it is dead take a look in the special reserve magazine there are 6 games in there.
It's dead in the industry, but there will always be a place under my tv for the good 'ol N64
The N64 ISN'T dead!
Well, moine isn't. It still plays games happily!
