I play Mario party on it with some friends every now and then. I love it... Apart from the beyond stupid controllers. My favourite game has to be majoras mask though, a ly more difficult then the other Zeldas but it was so much fun. Turning into gorons/zoras was great fun.
N64

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?
I didn't like the N64 much. To be fair, I'm not a Nintendo person. The games are too kiddy, even though I was, umm, a kid then.
Olly I assume you have blown into the console.
Probably over heating? try take the back covers off and blow it out
Yeah I had a go at blowing. I would have taken it apart to give it a clean (since blowing is actually not recommended at all), but it uses some special screws and I can't take them out.
I dunno if it would be overheating, it can be off for two days, I turn it on and then it resets after five seconds...?
We had a N64 when I was at Uni. That thing got kicked, thrown, dropped and had about 2 pints of dirty bong water spilled on it. Always worked. They most certainly don't make 'em like the used to.
Olly, if you have killed an N64 you should consider a career in demolition.

I think I might look into it.I think it's most likely to be the power lead. In the past my NES and Mega Drive power leads had to be positioned in a certain way before they'd work, I think because of the way they were wrapped up when being not used. So I guess something similar may have happened here.
The N64 was awesome. Defintitely the console I'm most sentimental about. A great range of games and the graphics were far supirior to the PS at the time. Only downside was the cost of the games.
All Nintendo cart consoles were the same. Like you I had some that went through an awful beating but always worked.
If they had any issues a quick blow and they were fixed
Lylat Wars! The independence day level was incredible.
Mine would be the original Playstation.
The only game I enjoyed on the N64 was Mario64.
You didn't like Goldeneye?
I loved the NES, SNES and Nintendo 64.
I even liked games like Rogue Squadron on N64, and I'm not a Star Wars fan. And Mario Kart64 remains the best-handling racing game I've played, never mind its cartoonish nature. Some console, that. Love the Dreamcast best but the N64 was damn good too.
I had Rogue Squadron too, great game and like you I am no starwars fan. That console had a lot of high quality games
Zelda
Goldeneye
Perfect Dark
Mario tennis
Mario 64
Mario Kart
WWF No Mercy
Conkers bad fur day
ISS 98
Just a few examples of my favourites
Great list! Just needs World Cup 98
Must say I much preferred ISS in those days
ISS 98 was a beast of a game.
No gaming experience nowadays will compare to the multiplayers me and friends used to have back in the day at goldeneye. Simply amazing fun.

Well I've managed to make a homemade screwdriver for the screws, so hopefully now I can take the top off and give it a good clean.
I don't take things apart. I learnt that years ago from old Walkmans and the like. They simply never work again after I get my hands on them
My screwdriver broke so I can't take the rest of the screws out. Probably for the best, I wouldn't want a repeat of what happened when I took my PS3 controller apart.
I can't find mine
http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Unboxed-NINT...onsoles_VideoGameConsoles&hash=item2573cdc422 will probably buy.

Olly want.
I'm thinking of buying a super nintendo and n64. I don't even know how to make them work on modern tvs though. Olly, has becoming gif king gone to your head? 3rd person ffs!
Sorry about that
If you have a Gamecube you can use the AV cable from that for the SNES and N64. If not you can buy one cheap here - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SNES-Nint...s_VideoGameAccessories_JN&hash=item1e677d314c
Saw this post and just had to agree. Other than the Z button on the Gamecube pad, it has everything. Even for people who were new to the controller, the different shapes / sizes of the buttons made it easier to understand than anything else. It was just so comfy as well for the majority of people.
The only real complaints would come from people with far above average sized hands, so maybe they could have released something bigger. Although the Wavebird Wireless Controller (I think this was the first wireless controller released) was the dog's bollocks and felt a bit bigger even if it wasn't.
On-topic, the N64 was brilliant. It's hard to believe that it was basically the fact they used a CD for the games that the Playstation took off (or at least it seemed so). If not for this, the N64 might have done better. Not enough people experienced the great games this console had to offer, which is one reason why I can understand the countless remakes on newer consoles from Nintendo. They stand the test of time as well, that is a certainty.
I also recently got a Gamecube Emulator on my computer. Mainly just to play Pikmin before I get a Wii U, so I can get Pikmin 3 and understand it more haha.
So much fun.
The three controllers to my N64 are so worn out that it's almost impossible to play it anymore.
It's a shame that the Banjo Kazooie series left Nintendo, really loved the depth in those games. Jet Force Gemini was probably the best game I played that I never finished.

*sigh*
Body Harvest should have already been mentioned. Good to see Jet Force Gemini get a mention though, for some reason people always forget about that one
Those people were always fun back in the day, trying so hard to look mature and appear not to love video games by owning a playstation and calling the N64 kiddy.
I owned the N64 and obviously enjoyed playing games on it. But it wasn't one of my favorite consoles.
I think he meant the beast that was WWF No Mercy, Zen.
Bah, Wrestlemania for me!
The golden age, N64 and PSOne going head to head. Fantastic games on both consoles. N64 wins in terms of platforming though. OCoT and Banjo Kazooie are still the benchmark for platforming excellence. OCoT obviously surpasses just one single genre though.
Dunno, although I far preferred the N64 the Ps1 beat it quite well in terms of sale.
The golden age fom me was the one before that. Mega drive v SNES. Both sold extremely well, and it was quite close I think
Again Nintendo was the better for me in that too

Wrestlemania and No Mercy were the pinnacle of wrestling games.
N64 was great. Banjo kazooie, Diddy Kong Racing, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, ISS64/98, mario golf. Excellent games.
