    Smile I just bought the Nintendo 64

    Hello!

    I am new in this forum.

    Just wanted to say that I just started my retrogaming collection buying the Nintendo 64, Mario 64 and Dr. Mario

    In the next days I'll look into some other games. I'd love to buy Blast Corps (seems really funny) and Wave Race.

    Bye

    If you have friends that are worth a damn, you must get WWF No Mercy. Just trust me.


    Although I hear Bomberman 64 is supposed to be amazing with multiple people.

    Congrats!

    The N64 is a great console.

    Many underrated games as well.

    If you can get the N64 Expansion Pack, get the official one. It's the best.

    Get Harvest Moon or Yoshi's Story for your Missus.

    For yourself, I'd recommend the awesome StarFox 64, Goldeneye and both Zelda games.

    Thank you all for the great suggestions you are giving me.

    So on: Blast Corps, Bomberman64, Starfox 64, Goldeneye (I am not adding Zelda because I hate this title, sorry eheh).

    Many thanks to all of you!

    omg WWF No Mercy...that game is like...god's gift to the N64 for wrestling fans.

    If your girlfriend likes just all around fun games, go for Diddy Kong Racing and Mario Kart 64. Those are some fun games.

    Some advice for the collection (for the not so obivious choices)
    Harvest Moon 64
    Mega Man 64
    Majora's Mask (no it doesn't suck it is...different)
    Star Wars Rouge Squadron
    DK64 (with offical Expansion pak)
    Jet Force Jemini
    Diddy Kong Racing (still better then Mario Kart IMO)
    Body Harvest
    BattleTanx
    Space Pirates of Silicon Valley (so unique)

    That's a good start

    Beetle Adventure Racing is a must have if you're in to racing games at all.
    Also, the N64 versions of Doom and Quake II are very good and very different from the PC games.

    aww really? oddly enough I cannot find a copy for less then 20 dollars. I buy Wrestlemania 2000 for a dollar yet I can't find No Mercy for less then a 20. Why do you have to be so good No Mercy! WHY!

    I second this. So many hours spent playing that game one summer. I had my 64 at launch and loved it!

    Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness if you're at all into the series.

    If you don't want to spend ten bucks for No Mercy, just pick up Wrestlemania 2000. In fact, many people I know who are serious about wrestling games prefer Wrestlemania 2000. It has much less slowdown than No Mercy. The game is less dark too.

    The major things that No Mercy have over Wrestlemania 2000 are running grapples (which are very important strategy-wise in matches with friends) and the addition of a ladder match. Be warned though, thanks to the great slowdown whenever there are four characters on screen, the tag team ladder match is excruciatingly slow.

    If you want to pay extra to get a better gaming experience, just get Virtual Pro Wrestling 2. It is part of the same line. It came out before No Mercy but has a lot of different moves and a tweaked engine. Of course, the roster consists of mostly Japanese wrestlers, as it is an All Japan Pro Wrestling product. You also need to use a Gameshark to play it, or cut the plastic tabs on the back of the cart. However, the gameplay is tweaked a little to make the game faster paced while still allowing for long epic matches. Nothing beats a Virtual Pro Wrestling tag match with four evenly matched humans. I've had some epic 45 minute bouts. It's my third favorite game of all time, actually.

    We actually have a set of "Marketplace" forums that are geared towards buying/selling, auctions, and feedback for other members you've dealt with.

    When you've had an account here for a little over a week they should automatically become visible to you, and you could then make a proper selling thread that would almost undoubtedly attract more attention than a bump in here would.
