    I think if people hate N64 its probably because they were older than 12 and so the kiddy nature of the console just wanst working for them. Almost all the best games are pretty much for kids.

    Wow, you guys hate N64 graphics? I guess you must really really really hate PS1 games.

    Anyway, I would say the worst console I played was Xbox. I was at a game studios party that a friend of my moms invited her to. SO I was in a room with an Xbox, 5 games, a whoooooooooooooole lot of chocolate bars and other candy. I played with the HUGE controller for giants hands, which I didnt mind too much. Halo was ok, but the other games they had were not good. I dont remember what studio it was.

    Man, a ton of trolls came out of the wood work here. I mean, I really cant say anything to people who dont like the PS1, N64 or cant understand how cool the Dreamcast is. Saying theres a ton of shovelware in libraries is moot because theres shovelware on EVERY SINGLE CONSOLE OR COMPUTER GREAT OR TERRIBLE. This thread gets a 1 star from me. I dont know how old you guys are, but honestly youre either too old and used to gaming in the 80's and 70's or youre too young and been raised on the PS3/360 generation to realize how revolutionary the late 90's consoles were.

    The only system I've played that I can say I never want to play again, I would say would have to be the Virtual Boy.

    I can't agree with your first statement. I was 17 when the N64 came out and I bought one at launch. Even after I claimed up and down that the Saturn was going to kill it. Also, not all the best games were for kids. I will agree with you second statement though. For reference, I own both.

    Well, I dont think you read my statement too clearly, because you pretty much agree with it. People who didnt want to bu ya kiddy console wouldnt like the N64, and not all their best games were for kids, but a lot of them were.

    The Sega Master System never did it for me, and probably still doesn't to this day.

    No, I do understand your statement. You're saying the almost all of the best N64 games are for kids and I don't agree.

    When you finally grow up you will understand, for you too will find that the N64 just can't satisfy the lust for blood that all mature adults possess.

    that is a really immature statement.

    Nintendo in general has always from the dawn of their existence been geared towards kids. Even till this day. That's due to their first party titles. Mario being a major one.

    I think the problem is you probably got your butt kicked in endless rounds of goldeneye. Or you're one of those people I was talking about. Hand them a new N64 game they never played and the N64 control and it's like watching a woman learn to drive. Running into every wall possible and has no control over the character or game.

    General, garden variety ignorance we can handle.

    Ineptitude regarding citation of content from other forums ... we chalked that up to the fact that nobody ever taught you the right way to handle those types of things.

    Differing of opinions on sensitive topics related to classic gaming (repros, emulators, etc.) we can handle.

    Unprovoked displays of sexism?

    Sorry, you're done. Good riddance.

    Most people who got a N64 and was playing it around release 1996 would be grown up by now.

    I believe N64/PS1 are fifth generation gaming consoles. People who played/owned these near release date will be in their twenties and up.

    I also wouldn't say the games are meant for kids. At least not any more for kids then Nintendo makes their games now.
