I begged my dad for weeks for my N64. Why? Because everyone else had one and for me to be able to hold a conversation i'd have to get one. When I did I bought a few games - completed them - and then a few more. Somewhere between the topics of Goldeneye's ultra-amazing gameplay and 1080's cool trick attackes we lost hold of the real topic at hand. I had become a sheep - following the fashion .Half my school had one and the other half where green with envy. I was extremely happy when 'I' came to school one Monday with a massive smile because 'I' had found the Turok 2 big cheat! I became the most popular boy for 3 hours untill the entire school knew and the feeling of being the leader died away. A few months later Nintendo Mags came out with the Dolphin!

We all were excited at the fact that Nintendo will deliver better graphics and better gameplay. What we didn't realise was that as we slaved over the pictures of what games should look like we lost interest in our N64s . I do occasionaly play on my N64 and look for life but it now seems a waist of time and when I hear people behind me saying they want an N64 I think 'What is the point? The new one will be out soon!' but really when the GameCube does actually come out, a few months later, we'll all forget about it and wait for the next.

I am not saying the N64 or the GameCube will be a waist of money but I recommend thinking before buying. It does look amazing and the graphics look out of this world so eventually down the road I will buy this wonder of a console though I think I'll wait a while after when it comes out - to get the full potential out of my PC and N64. I just now have to wait until Zelda 2 comes out for me to follow the fashion and complete it first.

I don't which planet you come from, but on mine, not many people own a N64, and to find someone else who owns one is quite hard.
In my town anyway.

A waist of money? Now that's something I'd really like to see!
