Everything about the N64 and why you love her! For me, it was a great childhood and Banjo- Kazooie. I recently got it for XBLA and do not regret a thing!

The N64 is my favourite console ever. It is wonderful to play and i honed all of my skills on that one console. It is a bit like the holy grail, i still play it today!

The controller was god awful, but i still love that console. Super Mario 64 was such a memorable experience.

I loved my N64, 1080 Snowboarding, Mario Kart, Super Mario, Donkey Kong, Conker, Goldeneye, Tony Hawks. I spent hours of my life on that machine. Unfortunately it doesn't work anymore, so I have to be content with playing on an emulator on my computer.

I had a lot of fun with my N64 when I first had it, but I barely played any games on it other than Smash Bros. and Star Fox. I am having a ball with Paper Mario on the Virtual Console, though, so I appreciate the system even more than I did originally.

Plus, the N64 has a Kirby game, which is always good.

Ohh! Paper Mario was one of the best N64 games I think. It was full of charm, puzzles and great game play. But Golden-eye was one of my faves. In multi player first one to pick odd-job always won because of his height. That is called a Skank move in my group of friends :P

Yeah, Paper Mario is awesome, and so is Super Paper Mario. I've never played The Thousand-Year Door, though, so I can't speak for it (let's just assume it's awesome ;) ).

You have good taste, sir. Goldeneye is uber-awesome! It was the first FPS i ever played, and i LOVE it. Paper Mario is epic, very epic, but Pokemon Stadium, Super Mario 64, Turok 2: Seeds of evil, Mario Kart 64 and Ocarina of time are some of the most amazing games i have ever had the pleasure to play.

I just need to join in on the Paper Mario love fest here, three exquisite games. I spent way to much time with them and yes, that might be linked to the death of at least one of my goldfish, but it was worth it dammit!

Agreed, I lost many-a-friend to paper Mario. I remember there was one puzzle that took me like forever to figure out. I skipped meals, and once school to try and beat it haha.

Wow, skipping school for the Paper, that's an addiction sir. The only game I ever did that for was Max Payne, the day after it was given to me on Easter Sunday. I finished it all in one day....but anyways, back to N64. I spent a year, a year, of my life trying to beat Huffle Puff, that big cloud. Once I finally did, I wept openly.

Yeah well. It was fun! But any who, Lots of N64 games are still played openly everywhere, most people playing Goldeneye, Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie, SSB, Kirby and the crystal Shards.... I loved em all. But i remember the day I got the steering wheel and gearbox peripheral for my N64, Ridge Racer 64 was never more awesome.

I never played Ridge Racer 64, but I still loved the N64 so much!! God, I loved it so much. I found the controllers a bit awkward but I still loved every game I had for it. Paper Mario, Mario 64, Starfox 64, OoT, and so many other games that I can't help but show compassion towards. It's the console that made me a major gamer, I never played the original Playstation.
