XP 64bit Pro

Advantages: Increase speed
Disadvantages: Horrible to install

...Windows is world renound for its global market domination on the PC. So many of us don't have much choice when it comes to operating systems. I decided when purchasing a 64bit cpu that I would get a 64bit OS aswell to get the full advantage of the hardware. To be honest there was a very notable difference in the speed of the system, especially the boot time. However at the moment for software, 64bit hasn't been taken on my many firms to provide drivers. This is a major problem for XP as you need to find the appropriate software driver otherwise your hardware is totally useless. With time and knowledge on your side, getting everything to work is possible. But if one piece of hardware doesn't have a 64bit driver available you end up searching for drivers for other hardware and it all becomes so very complicated. As well as drivers, some...

Review of Microsoft Windows XP 64-Bit Edition Version 2003 Complete package

  Almost 64

Advantages: High performance emulating
Disadvantages: Some compatability issues, high system requirements

...dependent on the ROM you are using) and the sound quality is also good. However, if you have a good set of computer speakers, you're likely to pick up on elements of the music that you didn't notice when running the sound through your television due to the higher quality. This can make it sound a bit more piecemeal and a little disjointed. ------------------- Compatability ------------------- I can't speak for Mac computers, but I have three Windows based PCs, including one laptop that have no problems with the compatability of the Project 64 software. It runs pretty much the same way as a normal executable file does and so all functionality is covered within the program itself. The only likely compatability problem that you're likely to encounter is with ROMs. Project 64 is widely considered to be the leading N64 emulator and as such...

Review of Project64 (Nintendo 64 Emulator)

Monkeying Around In 64Bit

Advantages: MASSIVE Gametime
Disadvantages: A Little Too Massive

...If you go monkeys for monkeys, then this is definitely the game for you. Donkey Kong’s back with new family members, who each have their own unique abilities. The Donkey Kong game on the Snes was revolutionary in the fact that Rare had used to 3D modelling to create amazing characters who looked like they should be on a 32-bit computer. The game was a sell-out. Now comes the 4th game in the series, Donkey Kong 64. Will this be just as revolutionary? First off are the new characters. There’s now Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Tiny Kong, Chunky Kong and Lanky Kong. Each of them has their own special ability as I mentioned earlier on. Donkey Kong is basically the ‘average’ of the lot. Diddy Kong is just a smaller version of Donkey Kong. Tiny Kong is the tiniest of the bunch, which enables her to creep through small...

Review of Donkey Kong (N64)

Wierd little bits

Advantages: Absolutely superb
Disadvantages: none as of yet

...Don?t you just hate it when something goes wrong with the car and you haven?t got the right bit to sort it, or even attempt to sort it? Such is life that this happens to me all the time or at least it used too. I still get caught out occasionally with the big expensive bits but in general for screws and those funny-headed gizmos that keep some secret part of the engine running I?ve now got them sussed. About 18 months ago my old Rover had a problem with the distributor, and it turned out that it was a part called the igniter, which was held onto the distributor by 4 funny-headed screws. Not wanting to risk faffing about with an ordinary screwdriver and ending up with a totally botched head to the screws I shifted myself across to good old Maplin?s and coughed up my £9.99 (You can get it cheaper on the net if you...

Review of Little Bit Longer, A - Jonas Brothers

Super Mario 64 DS

Advantages: Great game
Disadvantages: None?

...Growing up with the SNES, Nintendo Gamecube and Nintendo 64 I am a real Mario fan and love most of the games that I have played from the Nintendo team and this game is no exception. In this game the Princess Peach has been captured again and its Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Warios mission to save her, each character has their own special abilities for example Mario has the ability to jump higher with his wall kick move and run fast, Luigi can jump really high without help of a wall, Yoshi has very similar abilities to Luigi and Wario has great strength though is really slow. You go through the Princesses castle in this game and jump through paintings to access levels and gain as many stars as possible to continue on to the next stage of the game. There is a lot of fun secrets and mini games that you can find in the castle...

Review of Super Mario 64 DS (Nintendo DS)

Handheld Super Mario 64

Advantages: Still as good as ever, lots of mini games, developed storyline
Disadvantages: Harder to control than the original series of games, price of game still high

...Back in the days when the Nintendo 64 was around, the super mario games were the best games for the Nintendo 64. The success of super mario has been carried onto the new consoles Nintendo has released, with so many improvements to the quality of the game and new challenges. The game is admittidly a little difficult to get used to playing with the stylus rather than a controller, but it is soon mastered with a little practice and patience. The buttons on the side of the DS are used to move, jump, duck, run and attack, which does help to master the controls more quickly and take some of the burden off the stylus. The number of stars you can collect has been increased from 120 to 150, increasing the time you spend playing the game. You can also play with more characters than in the original series. You are able to switch between...

Review of A Bit on the Side: 500 Ways to Boost Your Income - Jasmine Birtles

Mario 64, Check Out My Hotel!!!

Advantages: Graphics | Originality | Gameplay | Its a mario game...
Disadvantages: Rare | only on N64

...This is the first review that I have done in my change of colour orange. I hope that it is useful. As I have now become orange, I thought I might change the style of my reviewing, depending if I like doing this style of writing is depending if I stick with it or not. This is a review on the classic game Super Mario 64, for the Nintendo 64. It is far the best Mario game that I have played, and the most entertaining. It is the first Mario game to be done in 3D and also a very big Mario game. I will hopefully be talking about the levels of the game, the storyline, and other things. The story of this game is about Mario, who goes to Princess Peach?s castle, where he is to meet Princess Peach. But little does he know that the castle has been taken over by the evil Bowser (Mario?s arch nemesis). Mario will need to do many levels to unlock...

Review of Super Mario 64 (N64)

Super Mario 64 DS

Advantages: Lot's of levels to keep you occupied
Disadvantages: None

...Every Nintendo Console should have its own Mario game, And the DS is no exception. When I picked up this game in the shop my first thought was oh it just the Mario off the N64 which would have been great anyway as that was such a good game! However this game is so much more than the original version as Nintendo have added stuff in to make it a great addition to the DS. In the original you played as Mario (as normal) trying to save Princess Peach from Bowser (Again standard for Mario gaming) However in this DS Version you get to play as Yoshi, Mario, Luigi & Wario who all have different moves available to help you through the maze of levels. Another addition Nintendo have made is to add a number of minigames that become available as you progress through the game, these use the full functionality of the touchscreen and are just as...
