Yesterday, I thought "What the hell! I'm gonna have a go on Goldeneye!" Being a bit rusty i couldn't even beat Dam on 00Agent, but that's beyond the point. The point is I had so much fun playing my favourite FPS, for any console. I had a go on a few levels and went away, feeling as happy as ever.
Earlier today I was playing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, desperately running about like a headless chicken, looking for the final big poe, as I already got the nine others (Any help welcome :-D), nevertheless, I was still having a huge amount of fun on one of my favourite RPG's out.
Then I realised, all this talk of the N64 being dead isn't true at all, the games are still classic and always will be. Then it struck me, it's like the SNES and NES. When you're playing your GameCube and you've sold your N64 about a year down the line you'll think "A game of Goldeneye would be so good right about now." This is what happened with the SNES and the NES. When I was playing on my SNES I sometimes thought "WHERE'S DUCK HUNT!!??" and when playing on my N64 I still thought "I miss you Link to the Past, Actraiser, Killer Instinct!" I maybe go off to a corner to cry or something, but the point I'm trying to get across is that when you think a console is 'Dead' it is merely having a rest.
The console is secretly biding it's time, ready to make you think "WHERE ARE YOU!?" or something else quite strange on that level. But consoles are more famous when there younger brothers take over. Let me put it like this. Say you sell your N64 to get some GameCube games, you don't think that you might want to play on those games again, but when you do go back for more, you realise you can't because that console in now. This show replay value in a game. Even today I want to play games like Yoshi's Island, Actraiser, Link to the Past and Killer Instinct.
So when you think and say the N64 is 'Dead' think about this, if your Grandma is dead, you bury her, but if she's sleeping do you bury her? Not unless you're very evil or very drunk. So think twice before selling your N64, I will, it's staying put in my house.

*Sniff* *wipes tear from eye* That's the nicest story i ever had heard *Cough* Anyway, glad you all agree, there's nothing better than people agreeing to your posts, except people arguing of course :-D
I agree totally!
I personally NEVER get rid of any of my games because I know there's always a moment when you fancy a go on something!
Retro gaming ROCKS! Going back playing those old games again once they have passed there sell by date is just such good fun!
Plus I've got something like 44 N64 games now, and I still buy new ones occassionally. If I decided to sell em I'd get virtually nothing for them so why bother?
I'm keeping my stuff till I'm old n grey! Then when I'm an old fart and the grandchildren come over, and there raving on about their Nintendo console 10 or PS whatever, I can whip out my NES, SNES, N64 and show em what true gamings all about!

Good post Rickoss, and I strongly agree with it!
Last summer, I realised how great some of my SNES games were, and I wanted to play them again. But I then realised that I didn't have them, as i'd let someone borrow almost all of them for a month or two!
I had no intention of selling, and still don't. Even though I have had people interesetd in it!
I also missed the likes of Duck Hunt when I sold my NES and games for £50, to my cousins!
I'm not selling my N64 for the same reasons, and I haven't even got all the games I want! There's also quite a few I own that I still haven't completed, including Agent Mode on Perfect Dark! And i've had it nearly about 18 months!!
So it doesn't look like i'll be selling my N64 EVER!!
And i've also planned to link it up to a TV with the GameCube at the same time, via some leads I can get from SR.
Anyone who's even thought slightly about selling their N64 should seriously think again!!
