I haven't! All the playable X-Box's in Windsor were turned off. I asked if they could turn it on but they all said "Sorry it's broken." All of them broken!?! That's not a good thing!!! Typical of Microsoft, everything breaks!

I meant the X-Box was wasted not the 'Cube. The 'Cube was working fine.
I played the X-Box in Toy 'R' Us a while back, but the stupid thing crashed twice! Then when i went to play the GameCube in Toys 'R' Us the thing was wasted. The Controller is terrible. With so many buttons spread out all over the place you forget which is for what.
To answer your question,
Yes, i have played on one in my local EB.

I myself wouldn't compare Goldeneye with previous PC games since most FPS's then used 2D sprites with 3D levels. Goldeneye did revolutionalise FPS gaming though, proving it was possible for FPS's to have many 3D characters, good AI (which is changable if you unlock 007 agent) and brilliant graphics (for the time).
It also proved that the levels could have more of a reason to them than just killing everything in sight.
I don't think Half Life borrowed much, if anything from Goldeneye though. I can't see anything too similar between the games other than they are both FPS's.

You had to wait a while for a good N64 game to pop up, but when they did come along, they blew EVERYTHING else out of the water.
Mario revolutionised platforming and proved that games could properly work in 3D.
Zelda is a perfect balance between story, graphics, and gameplay and has been often quoted the best game ever.

Mario Kart and Goldeneye revolutionised multiplayer gaming proving that splitscreen was the way forward.
Perfect Dark would've ruled all only it was only just outdone because the latest PC's were using technology unheard of when the N64 was built.
And that's just the most revolutionary titles.
There were plenty more that the Playstation couldn't hope to match in terms of quality.
The PS had MORE good games but the N64 had the few very best ones.

50 'Great' Games??? I really can't see there being 50 great games on the 64. Maybe 20 very good games but there definantly were not 50 of them.

well, i know you said not to take you up on that, and i agree the 64 only had around say 50 great games, but you can't say you regret buying it cuz it wasn't that succesful. anyway. i dunno many people who buy anywhere near 50 games per console. on thop of this, the ps had tons of games, but only a similar numbers, if not less, great ones.

I personally find the X-box to be crap, but not cos I'm a Nintendo fan. I'm also a Sinclair, Sega and even Westwood Studios fan!
I'm not going to explain why though, cos this is the Nintendo forum, and as it's already said, this isn't the place to discuss the X-box.
