HELLO Everyone! Time to make GOOD use of these forums! They were missing and here they are! Well. Time to talk about my past with Nintendo 64 and provide some info about this.
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...CLZZZZZZZ_.jpg Well I dont remember when I got my Nintendo 64 per say. However when this system came out, it was NICE! Built in 4 player support was a feature no other console had built in "yet". Also if you owned one of these systems, you knew how later on you HAD to buy that upgraded memory chip for the N64. http://bomberoza.webpark.cz/gfx/nintendo-64-mep.jpg Which came packaged with a couple games. That memory expansion allowed for MANY games to run at better resolutions, SOME games even REQUIRED it! I remember playing "Perfect Dark" a game highly talked about for the Xbox 360. When this game came out, it replaced "Golden Eye" so fast it made everyones head spin. I enjoyed playing this lifelike shooter game very much personally. Not as much fun as I had playing "South Park" where you threw various snowballs at people! =D Other games that evolved was "F-Zero X" which was FAR better then the SNES counterpart was where ONLY the "Stingray (Pink car)" drove the fastest. Deathmatch mode was the BEST, I think my record was like 25-30 seconds to knock everyone off.. since then I have not tried since. I used to play least like 10 mins a day of Fzero personally. Other new games came out that still run strong today, one larger game to mention would be "Mario Party" one of my favorite games to play with friends! Basically if you never played one. Its a fully loaded board game with TONS of mini games that are challenging! AI was very decent as well. Today still I will play that as a 4 player party game. ^_^v (I need to get one for the gamecube now lol) Now my next game I LOVED back when the whole "Pokemon" games were going around on gameboy, I fell in love with Pokemon Stadium! Which was the 1st game to introduce the Nintendo 64 Transfer pack! http://www.vidgame.net/NINTENDO/Nint...4_transfer.jpg This let you hook up your Pokemon Blue, Red, or Yellow version and use YOUR custom made pokemon to fight in a grand stadium just like you saw on TV! This game as well was a GREAT game to play with more players! I would still play this one today maybe, but I would rather get a new GBA and GC version to be up to date on things. =) (How many others here loved those games where you can port your info from one game to another? I know I do!) One annoying thing about the N64 was that you could ONLY have ONE item installed at a time in the controller (Its like the Xbox controller, where you plug in optional stuff) So either you had the memory card unit (For saving games), Vibration attachment (adds rumble force), combo unit (Which had both built in) Sad part is, seems N64 memory card units went bad alot or didnt read right always. Was odd. Still very fun though! I do also know a CLASSIC 4 player game is Gauntlet! I have played since the C64 days and love it! The N64 version still is alot of fun without too many flashy graphics to distract you. Where you just grab a character, level up, buy spells and items, and go destory endless waves of monters. =D Super Smash Bros, another FUN game that lives on to the Game Cube, as WELL as the PSP now (Has been ported homebrew). Just grab your favorite character, each from various nintendo games (not just Mario!) and they have their abilities as they did in their respective games. Fighting game of course, but in a comical sense where you want to knock them out of the stage to score the most points! When Emulation came around.. I was blessed by FINALLY trying out Harvest Moon 64, (Which to today I think is the best version out there!) Just building a farm.. mindless fun where you controlled the action and path of your char. I spent HOURS building up my farm. A Game where it is STILL big on GBA and GC. I think I played mostly HM64 and FZero on my N64. Starcraft, this allthough was great to play, was no match for the PC version and also you needed that extra memory unit to really explore the full power of SC. I love SC to death.. but not on N64 and not when I cant kill someone else! =( Today my N64 is still hooked up, not collecting dust, all though not as much played. I still will use it, also have a "Converter" cart, since you COULD play imports on the 64 WITHOUT modding! The cart I own just made it fit the USA 64 model. I play that with a JP Snowboarding game. Kinda fun. =) Fighting.. only ONE game I can think of that I LOVED! Ever since I played it at my friends house and more.. Killer Instinct GOLD! =DDD Who DIDNT love that high speed fighting with "Spinal" or "Cinder"? Too easy to make combos.. and if you played Street Fighter 2, mostly you could do the same movements. Jago was EXACTLY the same style as Ken and RYU in movements. WHEW.. man, I have too much time on my hands to explore my past and games I loved playing... Also one flaw about controllers is, a hard person who used the analog stick too much or too hard would notice that part could really break, thus meaning you had to buy a new one. No way around that really. N64 isnt per say "Retro" yet as MANY games can still be bought and this system is still safer for kids to use as there is no cd to scratch up.. however it did have the classic NES flaw.. you had to BLOW in the cartridge sometimes to MAYBE get a game working. Also yes.. Super Mario 64 was "ok" to me.. I guess I didnt get into that whole 3d mario after being used to 2d, however it was a classic and still played by many today. =) Whew.. anyways I think I am done for my thoughts and memories that most strike out at me for this system. =) What are your memories? How did you feel on your 1st N64? Did you have a FAVORITE game? Played the link up games maybe? Pokemon? =D Lets talk and share more memories on another classic system. =D

It was all about Goldeneye. The only reason I bought the system to begin with. At least until Perfect dark came out. The biggest improvement that dark had over eye was the customizable and random spawning of weapons.

Perfect dark BEAT Golden eye without any challenge! (Least if you had the extre memory chip)
Played VERY much like shooter games today like Half Life and so. I didnt get into Golden Eye at all. But I DID love Perfect Dark 4 player mode. ^_^v

Memories for me..hmm...
The first games I ever got for my 64 were Star Fox 64 and Cruisin USA. Cruisin' was just fantastic. I remember when I could never beat the Chicago level. The day I beat it was bliss. And Star Fox 64. That was bliss. I don't think I ever got all the medals until three years after I first played it. Then was Super Mario 64. A legend in its own right. Great music. Great gameply. Great everything. 1080 Snowboarding. Another legend in my books. Best sports game for the N64. Busting out the ten spins on the control stick and pushing all the buttons in the right order to pull it off. Simply amazing. Playing Jet Force Gemini. First ever good Third Person Shooter that I played. Great story line. Great characters. I loved it. Of course there was also Banjo-Kazooie. I think I've played entirely through the game about five times. It never got old to me. And then Banjo-Tooie. To me not quite as good but it still was an amazing game. Pokemon Snap. Yea you can laugh. But I loved playing it. It was challenging and still fun. The racing classics. Diddy Kong Racing and Mario Kart 64. I played those games to death. And then some. They NEVER got old. Especially with 4 player Multiplayer. And then. Then there was the Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time. In my opinion, the best video game of all time. An instant classic from the second I first saw the opening. Listening to the music and watching Link ride through the sunrise on Epona. Brilliant. Simply brilliant.

Zelda I have, but havent "Played" it per say, Pokemon snap. Good memory, That is the one for people who dont know, that BlockBuster promoted. They promoted that you take pictures in game, and bring in your memory card to print them out on their printers at Blockbuster, quite interesting indeed.
1080 I played, Also I played Crusin. LOVED it in the Arcade. =D Driving in the mall. Hehe.

Ugh, hated conker.
My first games were Mario, Mario Kart, and Crusin USA. Man the N64 was a hell of a system. The best games being ROAD RASH 64!!!!!!! (sooo many hours spent playing that) DK64 Banjo Kazooie, PERFECT DARK!!!, and Wrestlemania 2000. Ahhh the golden age of gaming.

N64 feels alot better on the analog stick then the GC does.. dont know why. That and I loved the Z trigger was below, not on top, some games like Xmen are really a challenge to use that button sometimes.

I actually thought the Cube's control stick was pretty good. It didn't feel as loose or get as loose as easy as the N64's.

Oo..I remember !!
I woke up..that..great..day..in december. My brother was already up, and so I ran to my presents and opened them all without looking at them trying to find the N64. I couldn't find it!!!!!! But then...I saw a big box! I opened it..there was another box..and then another..down to a pop-tart box (smores by the way, I love 'em) and inside it was a little map my dad drew. I followed it..and sure enough there was the N64!!!!!! My dad bought like a big package also, it came with a bag..a shirt..and Super Mario 64. That day opened my eyes to games and electronics. I think that night was the first time I ever stayed up past 12:00..good times. |

Star Wars Rouge Squadron
Star Wars Shadows of the Empire Ocarina of Time. Super Smash Bros. those are the best games on that system, in my opinion. I have so many good memories with those. One time my friends and i drank soo much soda that we (4) played ssb for 27 hours straight, then we urinated for, i dunno, liek uh week. |

Perfect Dark made it all worth while.

Awesome memory. Ugh i hate you now, im starving and id kill someone for a smores pop tart. I remember my dad got me a nintendo, and i asked him about the games and he goes....arent they already in it? And after about 10 minutes of him letting me be sad about it, he told me to go get his phone out of his briefcase and sure enough the briefcase had 3 games in it. Ha, i was so young at the time that my mom pretty much had to beat super mario for me.
