I really shouldn't have, no all the newer games I have feel like they suck :(

Mostly because they do. Seriously, why have games become so much worse over time? I have one SNES that still beats every game for the newer consoles! Are game developers losing their touch, focusing to much on graphics, or what?

Banjo tooie, Paper Mario, Legend of Zelda, all classics to me :crazyeye: their sequels, especially in paper mario's case, really brought standerds down.

Of course, theres Super Mario RPG, legend of the seven stars. Always been fond of that one

The only things I've got is some Volkswagen racing game and Super Mario 64. Not too shabby, but I haven't played them in YEARS.

Ah the N64. Still my favorite system after 8ish years. Smash bros, mario kart, and the zelda games were what I mainly played/

You guys is lucky. I grew up with an Atari 2600.

Beserk,
Pitfall,
Space Invaders,
Dig Dug,
Pacman,
Missile Command,
and all those weird generic games when it was just called the Atari VCS.

Nothing wrong with that.

I could play "video pinball" for hours.

We used to have Goldeneye tournaments at school. Good times. I always finished second, losing in the final to a naturally gifted game-playing friend. Everyone else sucked, of course.

I recently broke the game out again at someone's house but was totally rubbish at it. The controls now feel totally artificial whereas I distinctly remember them feeling natural back in the day. Specifically, the C buttons now confuse the hell out of me. Also, I just suck.

Never gotten into N64, by that time I was breaking into PC Gaming.

I'd probhibly would prefer the Wii over the N64 if I had to buy a console game.

The SNES was the best nintendo console. N64 was kind of meh if you ask me, I had one and kind of regretted not going with the Playstation 1 instead. N64 had a very limited catalogue, you'd think that they would have made sure that the small catalog had a very high ratio of memorable game, sadly there were about 10 great memorable games on the console.

Not only did it had a small library of games, they did not think about having backwards compatibility with it as well. I recall that the N64 was the last cartage based gaming console Nintendo has made (Excluding portables).

I believe SNES was the best gaming console every made with 100000 hours of entertainment. No matter how many systems come or are being developed, SNES has the ultimate game play score of 100%!

The games brilliantly conceptualized and marketed. Nowdays its more about grafix and sound.

N64 was my favorite system it had great games like StarFox64 and Conker's bad fur day. I do feel that todays developers putting less effect in their games. Not saying that there was no bad games in the day.

Never tried Conker's but StarFox was excellent...

Super Mario 64 also lasted me... well I'm not sure, it was either weeks or months.... trying to finish it... I was only like 7-8 at the time

I still get the SNES out from time to time. Good times are always had. I'm thankful that some of the games are now available via the Wii but alas such great Atari games like Carrier Command and Cruise for a Corpse remain out of my reach.

Ah Mario 64 is the only Mario game that I liked of the main series. I've yet collect all of the stars.

presuming that you still have an N64 you should try Conker's. Its brilliantly done. The parodies, the scatological humour. It's just great.
