I never had an N64, Got a Playstation instead. But I would really like to play some of the games on N64

How could anyone hate the last true cart based system?? Its fine by me because the prices are dropping fast on carts and I have picked up a ton lately.
I first bought the system and Goldeneye at college. My roomate and I must have played it for a month straight trying to unlock all the items and extra missions. It is still one of my favorites of all time. I have also just recently been playing Banjo-Kazooie & Mario 64 and can't believe how good they are. Especially Mario 64 being a launch title. Also a ton of other games that have already been mentioned.

I just wonder if any of these so called haters of N64 have given it a real shot or just condemned it from the start??

I dare anyone who hates this system to play at least 7-10 games from that list and say they did not enjoy any of them.

Turok: Dinosaur Hunter (1st was good, but stay away from the others lol)

Disagree. The first AND second were both awesome. The third was alright, and Rage Wars should be avoided like the plague.

Gee, finally someone comes forth after so long about the issue, thank you so much

*Hey my 1,000 post* wee dawgy!

I am really starting to think that the N64 will be my next system to collect for - the games are cheap, the total number of games released pretty low (~300), and I love collecting cart based games. There is just something about collecting cd based games I just can't get into. So I figure between the SNES and N64 I have the whole 2d to 3d transition period covered


So far - my favorite N64 game is Mario Golf. Now they have it for every nintendo system, but before - when nobody really played it - it was fun to get friends hooked. I know 2 people who ended up buying a cheap N64 just to play mario golf.

You know, you're right. Turok 2: Seeds of Evil was pretty damn good (Just played it last night)

Rage Wars is a sad site...but I need to find 3 someday to see what you mean

I've only got a couple that I've liked:
(only counting exclusive titles)

Mischief makers
Yoshi's Story
Star Soldier
harvest Moon
Pokemon Snap

All in all, I think it was a pretty poor system.
It got less 3rd party support than the GC is getting now.
and that controller? Ugh.

You know, I dont know why people complain about the controller so much, the only problem I had with it is the joystick wearing out so easily (which can be easily fixed or replaced today)...yet during all the years I have had an N64, my controller still works like a charm...but I think it's due to mistreatment of the controller from other users....but who knows..I've heard many different stories.

Yet it was comfortable to me in many situations for Action/Adventure or FPS games.

I have pondered over a redesign of what would have been a better more comfortable feel for those who did not like it.

Like a tighter stick perhaps...yet the Z, L, R, and other 6 I wouldn't change. Those C buttons came in handy alot (Like Mortal Kombat Trilogy or Zelda OoT when playing the Orcarina)

As for the size, I would have to say it needed to be smaller, because it was always a pain to reach for the D-pad in some games

I hate to clobber a good topic but this one's already been in progress in the "Classic Discussions" forum. That thread is linked to several places on the site as well so I encourage you to add your opinions there!
