N64 (admit it jiggas, its quite awesome)

[MusicIsDead]

Yee, so i bought an n64 and a couple of games off of a buddy today for 10 bucks. I bought it because for some reason I had a craving for all of the old games (Banjo kazzooie, mario kart, diddy kong racing, donkey kong, mario 64, mario party, goldeneye etc.) So I got a couple of questions and this is the only forum I am a member to, so to save me some time from joining a faggotish gaming one Ill just ask you guys. PIMP Questions:

1)My buddy that gave me the n64 didnt have the game donkey kong, and I remembered it came with a certain thing that you had to put into the n64. I think I have it in my old n64 (which doesnt work), but I dont know what it is/how to get it out and etc. So what does it do, and should I even bother going to get it out?

2)Half of the games either dont turn on, or freeze. I'm not sure why this is getting in the way of the mario party fun..but it is. We've tried blowing in them, and tried just about every way possible to put it in, but it doesnt work. Now some games work perfectly fine. So I'm wondering is there something I can buy that will help make all the games turn on and not freeze?

3) Does anyone know if you can still buy these games/how cheap they would be? I dont want to do all this garbage online because I have a fear of ebay, and I dont wanna sign up for any shit. We tried an EBgames and they didnt have any. So I'm wondering is there another possible place that might have them, or just try another EBgames?

Also share some fucken experiences! Admit it or not, n64 was the funnest thing ever. Every single time we play its funny as shit.

[soso0901]

you're looking for the n64 expansion pack, it's basically more ram.

just search "n64 expansion pack" on ebay and I'm sure you'll find some for pretty cheap.

And I'm actually not a big fan of the 64, I think snes was better with games like Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, etc.

[RustyShakleford]

Try microplay if you have one. Or a small gaming store, they usually have sweet shit like that.

N64 is awesome.

Thanks man, but stupid question... Is RAM just more memory or does it make the games graphics better and less choppy? Also I found my broken n64 and noticed that the two flaps on the front have different insides. I'm pretty sure thats what I need to replace. But my newer n64(without the "expansion pack") has a sticker saying not to remove something right on the flap. Open that shit up and see what happens, or no cause I'll fuck something up?

[zShawtySX3]

Ok, I have the DK game and like the person above said it add more ram. You need it to play donkey kong. Also you mentioned buying games. Most of the N64 games are very cheap and can be bought at a gamestop, funcoland, (basically all of the the stores that sell reused games), but some games like starcraft 64 are very hard to come by and cost a lot!! I was trying to buy it a while ago, but the price for it was crazy. (More than an xbox 360 game!)Yah, so some games cost to play while most of the others are cheap. Don't expect to get to much money if you want to sell them either.

[zShawtySX3]

RAM stands for Random-Access-Memory...so yah it does add more memory

[MusicIsDead]

RAM stands for Random-Access-Memory...so yah it does add more memory
Alright thanks for the help guys. More memory is all it does right, not graphics?
Also I do have a microplay near by, so I'll be hitting that up tomorrow. Also thanks to the guy that just reminded me of conkers fur day:) Man running around with those teddy bears was fucking nuts!

It's just like ram for your computer, it'll make games run "better" it won't improve the graphics but it should make games less choppy. And yeah, you remove the thing that says "don't remove" assuming we're both thinking of the same thing - located on the top from of the console.

You must not've looked very hard for starcraft 64 because on ebay they have about 6789796124809 copies ranging from $5-$30, which in my estimation is a cheaper than an xBox 360 games.

Fucking Microplay! I used to go to the Microplay closest to me but one day those fuckers moved and now I can't find them.

Never blow in the games, it only makes it worse. Dust is not your problem it is corrosion and dirt, blowing air will not help that and the moisture from your breath causes corrosion.

Take some rubbing alcohol on a q-tip and clean the contacts. I have a large video game collection with over 500 cartridges from the Atari 2600 to the N64 and I have only come across 5 cartriges that didn't work after cleaning.

You may also have to clean the connector inside the system, I ususally take a piece of 400grit sandpaper and a wooden shim and gently sand the corrosion off of the contacts.

Thank you, good sir! Im out for the night, I'll bump this shit up tomorrow with what games I get and shit like that. Peaaaaaaace.

Pokemon puzzles is the best game, that was fun doing a 1hour fight on that

dam nnow i feel like playing it

Why don't you just download an N64 emulator?
There's a whole thread on them here.

Because I want to play them with an n64 controller, on a tv, with friends. Not by myself in my room on a computer.

[emericanlegend]

Man, thats weird. I just rediscovered my N64 too and am having tons of fun playing Goldeneye, Mario Party, Zelda (Ocarnina and Majora's Mask) Super Smash Bros. etc. Good times.

[firepiss]

Nintendo 64 was the worst system nintendo ever made. Back in the late 90s, nintendo 64 was such a rip! Thank god I was into playstation 1 then.

And this is coming from a nintendo fan boy. lol.

[bluflame]

I remember when the 64 was brand new... I was playing Mario64 in Toys R Us and I thought it was ingenious how they had a joystick in the controller.

This is prolly a repost, but I like even so. (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6493722340610946105&q=mario+64+16+minutes)

[Joey Orion]

KI:Gold was the shit, man. God, I remember playing that shit in high school when it came out. I want an N64 now

[JetsterDajet]

The Ocarina of Time is the only game I have deemed worthy to play more than once. I've actually played it through like five times. I only played Majora's Mask one time through... I don't remember why... that game was FUCKING sick. Damn... I wanna play Majora's Mask now...

[TORCH]

Nintendo removed the blood from the Mortal Kombat games on the N64. Fucking weak. At least N64 was the best thing that Nintendo ever made.... to date!

EDIT: Sorry I forgot about the Game Boy, and the 30,000 different versions of the GB they made!

Conker is the shit.

Banjo Kazooie is great too. Solid platformer with lots of collectibles and exploration.

Don't forget about Paper Mario.

[troutofdoom]

WTF?

Pilotwings

[soso0901]

Banjo Kazooie is great too. Solid platformer with lots of collectibles and exploration.


Oh man, I remember I was playing that game when it first came out and I had almost beaten it. One night I was playing it with my brother, we were alternating turns and he had the genius idea of trying to do a code. So on screen where you choose what game file to load he started pushing a lot of random button and accidently deleted our game and we had to start over from the beginning. I was so pissed!

[BaxterII]

Diddy Kong racing and Mario Kart 64 were teh best

GoldenEye for 64 :ahhh:

[MusicIsDead]

Thanks for the help and bringing up pimp memories boys, were off to the nearest microwave in a couple of mins. If theres nothing there, were checking some other places, because I am not coming home without a working mario party in my hands.
What I'm looking for
Buck Bumble
Pilot wings
Conkers fur day
A working mario party (funnest game ever made, not lying...I dont care if you say Im 5)
And probably a few other ones.

We already have
Mario64 (In our opinion, best game ever made, there is no arguing it)
Mario Kart (Fun as fuck)
Diddy kong racing(Sawweeet)
Star Fox (doesnt work)
Mario party 2 (doesnt work)
Goldeneye (Proxy mines are honestly the best thing since sliced bread)
and NFL Blitz (yeee yeee)

Peace chiggss, be back in a bit.

NOTE: Those bashing the n64 and calling it shit and not as fun as ps1, have openly admitted to having a maximum of 1 friend and bad taste in fun. Thank you. ;)

[Ænema]

Goldeneye 007 had me glued to my TV for so long it's unbearable. N64 was a great system for it's time and many classics come from that system.

Holy shit, thank you for mentioning Pilot Wings MusicIsDead. That game was the TITS.

The N64 was golden in the true days of gaming. Now-a-days too much emphasis is put on graphics. I remember the blocky textures of Goldeneye, but it didn't matter. I have probably spent an entire month's worth of time on the multiplayer alone. I also remember spilling countless hours to beat all of the difficulty levels to unlock the temple and that other level. BTW, Oddjob rules all in multiplayer. I played the hell out of Diddy Kong Racing as well. It was such a good game that, even though I suck at racing, I played just to fly the fricking plane. Banjo was my boy on that game. Then, of course, there is Bomberman 64. I played that over and over again to get all of the gold cards. Yet again, another game with priceless multiplayer.

I have one thing to say. Thanks for reminding me about how gaming has gone downhill.

[soso0901]

I actually think N64 was the first step downhill is the direction of placing more emphasis on graphics than gameplay. SNES had the best games by far.

That makes no sense at all.

[ElJoe]

I hate when people use Oddjob it's so cheap. He's like 3'0" and you can't even see him if you are standing infront of him.

Me and my friend play the shit out of mario kart. That game never gets old.

[LegendaryU2K]

I have my n64 hook up next to my xbox ( under my tv desk ) , i still play it about everyday.

[soso0901]

That makes no sense at all.

sorry, I mean N64 was the first step downhill in (not "is") the direction of placing more emphasis on graphics than gameplay. And that SNES focused on gameplay rather than graphics and in doing so had the best games.

[MusicIsDead]

Alright got back a while ago, we picked up excitebike and clayfighters or something. Clayfighters is decent, and excitebike is awesome...but still no mario party. Thinking about just ebaying it up. Also, does anyone have any idea how to get the fucking expansion pack out? I would just rip it out but I dont wanna break it(Ill never find another one).

EDIT: Nevermind I was pulling away under the little hatch that you have to pull up

[JetsterDajet]

N64 expansion pack. It has a red top with holes. And i agree that N64 kicks ass. I just beat the part in DK64 with the fucking arcade machine. That shit took me about 7-8 years to beat!!!!

[rand0m]

Anyone hate the fucking N64 controllers? We don't have 3 hand Nintendo you should know that since your Human too ... or are you ...

[Nickster]

^^
Ehh. It's a tradeoff.

I still have mine, but I only have Ocarina of Time Mario 64 and Banjo Tooie. Though I saw DK 64 for sale at EB games. WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T I GET IT!?!:wah:

Also, whenever I wen't to another family members house during Thanksgiving and whatnot, my bitch ass younger cousins would use the N64 controllers there by holding the left and right horns(?) and trying to use the joystick. Made me want to lobotimize them.:banghead:

A couple years ago I got the urge to play Ocarina of Time again, only to find out that my mom had given away our 64 a few days before.

She doesn't know it, but I've never forgiven her.

I couldn't really appreciate Goldeneye because the first time I ever played it was when I had my brand spanking new copy of Halo for the PC, so i never got to appreciate it.:( I did put perfect dark on the list though cause that was so rawww.

[ThePope#15]

IMO the N64 was and always will be the best console ever made. No other console has even come close to beating it.

JK, Dreamcast pretty much kicked ass. Not as good as N64 in my opinion but w/e.

In high school, My friends N64 had a copy of Goldeneye duct taped in his console. On the duct tape he wrote "bond machine". he didnt take it out for at least a year. I wish I still had the pics

yeah it would be great if we still had shitty n64 graphics. the only reason you think so highly of it is because you were younger (i can tell you are probably about 11 years old) and it was all magical and shit to you.

Last time I played Goldeneye was yesterday.
I totally agree with his post. The graphics really don't matter much to me. The main problem with N64 is that the games are way too short and easy to beat. Graphics isn't a problem for me.
