Nintendo 64

I bought an N64 a couple of years ago and so far so good. It is in perfect condition, even though I play games on it for long hours every day. For me this is the best system there is because of the following reasons: USE OF CARTRIDGES ----------------- This is one aspect of this console that makes it tops. Unlike many other consoles which use cd’s( need cleaning and could easily get scratched) the N64 uses cartridges. There are so many advantages that come with using cartridges. For instance, there is a very small chance of them getting damaged and they cannot get scratched, there is no ... more

Ahhhh memories. The first games console I ever played was a Nintendo. I remember the days my Mum and Dad used to go shopping at Makro, and I would stand for ages playing the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) on games like Mario Brothers and Duck Hunt. Of course I was still young at the time, and that was the limit of my early console experience. However years later b the time I had paper rounds and jobs at local chippies, I managed to buy myself a Super Nintendo (SNES) and console gaming became a big thing for me. I’ve since upgraded to a Playstation and Dreamcast (with my greedy eyes ... more

::::: My Story ::::: I decided to take a step back in gaming recently – I purchased an N64. I was once what some may call a “hardcore gamer”. I’ve had every console from the “Master System” up to the “Playstation 2” that I recently sold. You may be muttering madman, selling a ps2 and getting an N64. However I assure you, there is method to my madness. Don’t you just love that phrase, that’s why I used it for my title. Well anyway I sold the ps2 with 1 game for £300, good deal, considering I only paid £2 more for it on release day ... more

During its reign I never actually got round to buying a Nintendo 64 as I already owned a playstation and couldn't persuade my parents to let me have both. Though this did not stop me from enjoying its endless multiplayer entertainment as luckily I had a very good friend who owned one. I am not 100% certain on what convinced me to impulsively buy one from ebay just over a month ago; perhaps an attempt to reclaim some of my not so distant childhood back or maybe it was simply because you can now pick them up for under £20. Personally I chose the limited edition Goldeneye version, complete with ... more

OK, I'm not going to go into some pureile rant about who makes the best consoles, I'll leave that for the ten year olds in the playground. The fact is that I own a Dreamcast, Playstation, N64, and a 3DO (remember them?) and, in terms of entertainment per hour, the N64 comes out tops. Let me tell you why... Like many men in their mid-twenties I would like nothing better than to waste away every available hour chasing yellow stars, beating lap records, shooting people in the head (!), but the fact is that work, girlfriend, mates etc. have an annoying habit of getting in the way. So, what I need ... more
