Nintendo 64's popularity among younger gamers is no surprise. Well-respected games featuring such long-lived and much-loved personalities as Mario (of arcade classic Donkey Kong fame), Zelda, and Banjo-Kazooie are easy to learn and offer enormous replay value. But times are a' changin' and the system's ever-growing library of titles has expanded into every genre of games imaginable, including games better suited for older gamers. In fact, some of the most acclaimed--in some cases, groundbreaking--games available on any platform today are packed onto N64's old-school cartridges.
Under the system's hood, its appeal to the young certainly didn't produce a less mature gaming machine. On the contrary, the 64-bit system boasts impressive graphics, stereo sound, and numerous accessory enhancements, including a high-resolution pack that boosts graphics to awe-inspiring resolutions.
Start your library with Goldeneye 007, Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time, and Star Wars: Episode One Racer--these titles represent a decent start to any N64 cartridge library.
With the recent launch of Sega's Dreamcast system, Nintendo 64 is being left behind as the leader in video game technology. And with newer game systems featuring CD-based games, the system's expensive cartridge format is proving itself an archaic and unconventional storage format. But, at a sub-$110 recommended retail price for a console with two controllers, innovative accessory enhancements and a great library of games keep the system's rabid fan base satisfied, if not eager for Nintendo's next evolutionary step. --Eric Twelker
Customer Review: very poor
the seller sent the 64 a month later with no plugs and no controllers so i never got to play. i sent it back. i am a faithful buyer at amazon and this is the first disappointment of trust. i am scared to order here again.
Customer Review: Nintendo 64: One of the Best Systems Ever Made, Now Discontinued
The Nintendo 64 had a small, yet a great library of games, including the best-selling The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
This console had the best-looking kiosk in retail stores.
But when the Gamecube came out in 2001, that, unfortunately, marked the end of the Nintendo 64. Nintendo published very few games for this system after the Gamecube came out.
The last game that was published for this system was Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, which, if you're lucky, you can still find that game new today at retailers.
I hate it when video game companies discontinue consoles because they released a new one. Look at computer manufacturers like Dell. Sure they make new computers, but you can still buy older models from them (not too old like a 486 computer, though... =D). Unfortunately, video game companies, even today, have failed to recognize this.

Customer Review: This chair is awesome! Worth the money!
This chair is awesome! Took about 20 minutes to setup. Not a bad process. The manual could of been clearer on the instructions.
Once setup I mounted my XBOX steering wheel to it and turned on GRID for the XBOX 360. It takes about 30-60 minutes to really get good with the wheel, but once you do its hard to get out of the chair! Its the only game I have played since getting the chair. I dont want to play anything else. Its like having an arcade in your living room! If your on edge to buy this thing and have a XBOX 360, GRID and some money...I would definitely pick it up! You wont regret it. I like that it folds up for easy storage too so my Girlfriend doesnt have to look at it!
Customer Review: Flight Simulator Modification
I was looking at seats to construct a home flight simulator. After looking at cost of seats alone, my wife recommended that I look at gaming seats. An Amazon search found the Playseat Evolution...excellent idea.
The seat works great with the Playseats Gearshift Holder Mount on the left side to hold the throttle and the center post for the control stick. Flight controls are the Thrustmaster Hotas also here on Amazon. When I get rudder pedals, they will sit perfectly on the metal foot rest.
I plan to purchase the seat slider and an additional gear shift mount for a keypad on the right side. Recommend purchasing any accessories with the chair since the chair needs to be disassembled to install the additional equipment.
The chair system is designed for car controls but the kit came with zip ties and self-adhesive Velcro so modifying it for flight controls was very easy and with no additional cost since all hardware was provided.
Just look at the cost of other home flight simulators and this is the way to go. You can order all the parts from Amazon. Sign up for Amazon Prime and get them in two days.
Great product.

Customer Review: Not worth the money - boardline rip-off
It was very disappointing. My son is a huge fan of Ben Ten and Hyperscan makes a Ben Ten game. The game comes with scanner cards to be scanned in at various points in the game. However, they include only 6 and there are more to be purchased seperately. Although they tell you that the game can be played and completed with the cards included, during the game they tell you to scan in the cards you don't have. My son felt cheated by this.
The game does not have good control so you really need good coordination to make it work smoothly - even adults have had trouble.
