When you think of N64...

You will always remember some epic score you and your buddies beat at a sleep over in grade school. Maybe you also have an epic story, but here is mine:

Although we are all in second year of university, N64 is still the shit. My room mate just busted out mario party 1 today. After a few rounds of 20 we said ya fuck it lets do a 50 round match. The match lasted just shy of 3 hours, alot of food, and blood sweat and tears (literally, well, no one cried, but one guy opened a cut on his hand from a mini-game that you have to spin the joystick - he spun it to hard, and im sure there were sweat beads on all of us at the end). So after all was said and done the standings were:
Mat: 4 stars, 132 coins
Me: 4 stars, 131 coins
Mike: 3 stars, 202 coins
Andrew: 2 stars 82 coins

I lost, by ONE coin. ONE. It all came down to the last mini-game, it was 1 vs. 3, i was singled out and gave out one extra coin, it was that close. fucking gnar. Anyone who has ever played a 50 round match know how long they take and how crazy it is to get that close!

That game is BY far the best Zelda game I have played. Majora's Mask is good too.

that's just unnecessary, clearly you haven't played N64, or are just ignorant to its awesomeness.

Pokemon snap bitches. And then super mario.
I like ffx on the ps2. I really only play a couple games and they're all at least 8 or 9 years old.

legend of zelda: ocarina of time, super mario 64, and mariokart are (in that order) the 3 greatest videogames of all time, any console.

banjo tooie was sick, i loved that game. there was also this other game i liked, i can't remember what it was called but it was like stuff falling out of the sky while it was raining or something and you had to make ponds or something like that (memory is wicked foggy), but it was definitely awesome.

yea, i got 1080 as well, but sadly it's not as good as i remember. I think the amped series totally destroyed my stoke on 1080.

I dont have any N64 stories but I have a Playstation one~

I got my PS when I was 5 and my first game was Crash Bandicoot (which to this day I still cant beat) In later years I got Mega Man 8 and for as long as I remember there where always those bolts that just taunted me~ being right there on the screen but no way to fucking get them~ Well my buddy had the same game and one day last year we decided to pop it in for old times sake~ That night we finally figured out how to get those bolts! We felt like we just figured out the meaning to life or something, I felt so complete

I had a 50 round match with my friend and his brother. It lasted like 3 hours and during the final mini game the game froze, I wanted to punch someone out, I was winning too.

couple friends an myself had an all night super smash brothers throw down. We bought a piece of poster board and mapped out how we would determine who was the best. the first of the trials was to play all for all with all the characters. the person who won this game would get a couple points and the second person would get some points and so on. then we did it with a couple rounds of selected items (swords and homerun bats obviously the best). then we did some 1 on 3s and 2 on 2s then some more all for all with your own selected character and we tallied up the points and formed a bracket went head to head to determine who was the best. in the end I came out on top with link as my main character around 5 am saturday morning.

Best N64 game by far,  nothing better than furry animals combined with violence, gore and satire
