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?

Yea im 70 miles from my closest SR shop too, this is just my preference but im far more likely to make an 'impulse purchase' whilst in a store than i ever am by surfing online but i guess thats the same for most ppl.

The courses are all the same and the power ups are pretty boring to say the least.

the nearest game to me sucks, it only sells PS2, PS, GC, Xbox, PC and DVD stuff. Not even in the preowned area, which is crud too. But at least they sell GC stuff, thats all i ask (and maybe unreal tournament)

You need Diddy Kong Racing, I chose it over Mario Kart. Because all in all, it is a better racer.

You'll love it.

Mario Kart is cool aswell.
