    I dug up my N64 from my attic some months ago to play oldies like Goldeneye or Zelda 64 - Ocarina of time (not that Majora's Mask mess), it was good for a while, but I got bored after a while, though. I have played these games too much in my childhood to enjoy them anymore.

    Still got mine with around 12 games, but I always go back 2 play body harvest. Anyone remember this?

    I love Nintendo... but I never really took to the N64... I gave the Zelda games a bit of a bash but I prefered the 2D incarnations and the Windwaker on the GameCube.

    I'm a big nintendo fan, although i never had an N64. I spotted one in a pawn shop near where i work for 80 quid. Anyone think it'd be worth my while picking it up? I want to play those two zelda games and mario64 (if i can get my hands on them).

    You'd get a much better deal on boards.ie/adverts.ie

    I got a N64 for a about €80 and it came with about 15 games...

    They pop up every now and then so keep an eye out

    Only got an N64 about 9 months ago. Before that I only played a bit of it in a mates house. While some games are very dated such as Goldeneye there are loads of absolute classics I've discovered for it. Currently playing through Banjo Kazooie and hunting down lylat wars. It's a pity that I need an NTSC console to play sin and punishment.

    Try Games Exchange on Talbot Street. They've got boxes and boxes of retro games and a fair few consoles too. I was looking through and they had stuff like Majora's Mask etc. Lots of PS1 and old Gameboy stuff too.

    I've kinda got into the joys of retro-gamingin the last little while, and I bought a second hand one a few months ago, quite cheap came with 5 games. Don't play it that often but when I do it is class. Love Waverace and Mario 64

    Would love a copy of Paper Mario but they seem hard to come by (anyone got one I'll take it off your hands)

    The simple fact is that some games (a lot of the Nintendo) don't age. They were brillant when they came out, they are still brillant. As a gamer I like good games, I don't care if they are 10 years old or came out last week.

    Suppose owning an original N64 will kinda become redundent when the Wii is released if the catalog of emulated N64 is as large as I hope it will be. But I suppose there will always be the idea that it is just not the same unless you are playing it on the original machine, which I is true to some extent.

    I have one at home I keep meaning to bring it and my virtua boy(real fanboy here :D ) over to London but I keep forgetting.

    I'll need to get something to hook it up to my iMac though as the setup in the front room is a mess with a carpBox and my Gamecube connected and I want to have my N64 and Wii in my room so I can play stuff with out being distribed by the pigs I live with
