Every week the hosts of TalkRadar present and answer a new "Question of the Week" - a personal inquiry which unearths some of our deepest, and sometimes most sinister, gaming memories. Everyone is encouraged to answer each week's question, so go ahead, tell us your most glorious, nostalgic, or shameful story!

Last week's question:

What's your favorite N64 game of all time?

Below are a few of last week's answers that tickled our collective fancies, but since we can't feature them all here, check out last week's article and forum thread for more...

"Turok 2 : Seeds of evil will always be an amazing experience for me personally. Most of the time i just used to swim around because i was about 3 and really scared to kill any of the enemies. I still loved it however and it was one of the first FPS's (Goldeneye was technically first, another beloved game) that i ever played and allowed me to discover the wonders of swimming in video games."

"Well for me, it's gotta be Banjo-Tooie. I couldn't tell you how many hours I sunk into that game, and to this day is my favorite collect-a-thon game out there, as I haven't played many since. Too bad my N64 stopped working, but I got over it when it came out on XBLA. Hoorah for nostalgia."

"I learned that other than Mario, I only loved N64 games that didn't end with 64."

"Hands down Paper Mario. I learned to read playing that game. (It came out when I was about five) I remember falling asleep playing that game because my eyelids were too weary to stay open. Collected all the badges, beat the Dojo master 3 times, and delivered all the mail. Baking the cake was a nightmare though, took me at least 20 tries."

"Has to be Pokémon Snap. Loved the rare occasions when I would do to my cousin's house and demand to play it. "No, I don't want to play Super Mario 64, I want to play Pokémon Snap".He wished he never got it by the time I was finished with it. Oh, how it was so much hyped.. I wish I could relive it's pixelated glory."

"I played this game for over 100 hours. Decent story, multiple endings and excellent gameplay customization make a unique experience each play through. This is my favorite N64 game period. I wish SOMEONE would make an online ogre battle game. It would be perfect for XBLA and PSN and would sell more copies then a princess daisy sex tape."

"Jet Force Gemini. I used to go over to my friends house after school and play the multplayer with him all the time. It was awesome. And I loved the gory deaths of the big ants and the little furbies."
