Bought a Nintendo 64 today for only £30! I traded in Sonic Adventure 2 for my GameCube as well as a control pad and £4 for the console, a pad and Super Mario 64. I also bought International Superstar Soccer for £2.99 – aren’t I good?

My impressions of the N64 games –

Mario 64 – Probably the best platform game EVR or joint with its successor, Super Mario Sunshine. Graphics aren’t ‘all that’, but hey, it was 1997 and Gameplay is all anybody should care about

ISS 64 – A fantastic football game, one of the best I have played on. Controls are a little fiddly and Graphics are fuzzy and take a while to get used to, but overall a brilliant game.

I plan to scour for the Games below (for cheap prices of course):

Super Mario Kart 64
Mario Party 1 – 3
Donkey Kong 64

There are a few others I would get if the price is right, like most of the RARE games, but them aside, it is only £3 – games that I am after. Any that You can suggest?

Just got back from Gamestation in Nottingham. After braving the ice cold wind, beggars, charity people and more road works than I thought possible, I've got an N64, Perfect Dark, and a memory expansion pack. Cost just under £40 for the lot. First impressions of Perfect Dark are amazing, in places it looks like some of the PS2 games I've seen, and it plays well too.

The great thing is that there's loads of games available for hardly anything.

I've just played it and it felt more like a mini game than a full on game. Sorry.

Another game of which I'd kill to find for £1.50 with an expansion pak...

Turoks don't really float my boat, as don't many FPS

Some of Rare's defining moments so I have been told - I want these

> Mario Kart 64
