CAGiversary!
Just got an N64 with all hookups + controllers for 10 bucks at a garage sale. What are some good games and how much do they cost? I already know I want Super Mario 64, and am interested in Paper Mario (costs ???). Thanks for any opinions.
 
I got a n64 also...but only with one controller but I got a mem. card! for 10$ @eb...I also need some advice on games...I have golden eye and perfect dark...what else?
 
I can get you several games for cheap. When I go home next week shoot me a PM for what you are looking for. I have a local shop with several cheap games( Pokemon puzzle league for 5, Smash bros for 6, and so on)
 
I like Star Fox 64, Smash Bros, Majora's Mask, Conker's Bad Fur Day, and of course, Goldeneye. If you like Mario 64, give Donkey Kong 64 a shot. Someone else I'm sure can give you prices, as I'm too lazy.
 
Wow thanks for all these suggestions. I saw a RAM Cart thing for sale on the internet. To my basic understanding you need it for some games and it improves others. Which games require it and what games suck without it?
 
[quote name='SneakyPenguin']pefect dark and donkey kong, there may be more, but im not sure (i rymed!)

edit: and i spelt rhyme wrong![/quote]

add majoras mask to the list
 
If you can get it cheap, then its probably worth it just to have it. It improves the graphical quality of some games that aren't mentioned above but its only minor.
 
Hell yeah Blast Corps is one of my favorit games for the N64. Some other good games are Mario Golf, Mario Cart , Turok 1 and 2, Robotron64 ,Paper Mario, 1080 and F Zero X .
 
wut does the memory expansion thing look like...i have something in the mem expansion bay stuck inside my 64...it's black...i got the 64 used about 3 years ago but never played it much...i remember seeing the expansion pack that was red at the top in stores, but mine is black...is this black thing a "holder" like the ps2 thing is for the network adapter slot?

thanks for any help...and if this black thing ISN'T the mem expansion slot, how much would it cost?

thanks ;)
 
The black one is the standard jumper pak that comes with all n64's. You need it for the n64 to work so don't take it out unless you have the expansion pak to replace it. The expansion pak themselves go for about $25 3rd party ones about $15.
 
The one and only n64 game i own is harvest moon 64.

i don't even own the console.


'd have to find it for $5 or 10 with paper mario to ever pick it up

So, you own a game for a console you will most likely never own? Umm, why?

Are the 3rd party ones pieces of junk or does it really not matter?
 
[quote name='SneakyPenguin']...i also recommend...blast corps.[/quote]

I gotta tell you that this is one of my favorite games of all time. It's a definate sleeper hit/buried treasure. The object of the game is to clear a path for a runaway truck that carries a nuclear missle. You do this by destroying buildings using a dump truck, bulldozer, giant mechs, etc. Great fun!

That does sound pretty cool.
 
Amazon also has the Nintendo brand one through its zShops, starting at $17.99 for one without the installation tool (though you can probably just use a car key or something similar to pry the old one out of the N64). There are also some brand new third party ones. It's worth checking out: link

pocket knife works very well
 
So does a spoon. That's what I used to get my expansion pak out and it leaves no marks. Your best bet to get an expansion pak cheap is to get it in a lot with some games on ebay. And for accessories check your local TRU. That's the only place around here that still has anything besides a Circuit City and all they have are a few controllers for original price.
 
Gamecrazy sells first party expansion paks for $19.99.

I just got an N64 myself at the beginning of the month. My younger brother's owned one for years, but I've always wanted one of my own.

Mario Kart 64 is my favorite racing game. A must own. Some of my other favorites are Diddy Kong Racing, Banjo-Kazooie, Kirby 64, Beetle Adventure Racing, The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time, Pokemon Snap (forget that it's a little too easy and you've got a pretty unique game), Star Wars Episode 1 Racer, Paper Mario, Conker's Bad Fur Day, and Goldeneye.

@ex0: Enjoy your newly-acquired N64.
 
look at my collection, i feel i have *most* of the n64 essentials (i bought every n64 game i own within a 2 week period last summer after finding a 64 for 10 at blockbuster)
 
Highly overlooked N64 game: Duke Nukem Zero Hour. NOT the port of Duke Nukem 3D. I won this game in a contest way back when and it absolutely rocked. It's a little difficult in places, but worth playing. One of my favorites on the 64.
 
if you like sports games i suggest:
madden 2003
wwe no mercy ( best wrestler ever )
Nba on Nbc
mario kart ( my fav raceing game)
 
WOW!! I was getting worried there for a moment that ppl weren't giving Mario Kart it's due. You can't have an N64 with having Mario Kart. Well.. technically you can of course, but it would suck. *LOL*
 
Laugh if you must, but IMO, another must own for N64 is Forsaken. It you were anywhere near a fan of descent, this is a game to have, 360 degree action. The single player campaigns are pretty weak, but multiplayer is great, definately worth the couple bucks.
 
How about Harvest Moon? I see that it's a little pricey, but if I like FoMT and AWL do you think I'd like 64?
On a side note this thread has gotten more posts then i ever thought, and I want to thank everyone for all their feedback.
 
[quote name='ex0']Awesome. How long did it take you guys to finish Paper Mario?[/quote]

not long enough. but even if it never ended it would still be too short. it is gaming perfection.

harvest moon was mty first n64 game. possiblethe besst harvest moon, but like all of them, it can get repetative.
 
My brother owned the n64, and had all sort of queer sport and mangrapple titles for it, and I only had HM64 cause it was awesome, and then he left and tooke the console with him, and so I am left with HM 64
 
Banjo And Kazooie
BAnjo Tooie Are also Excelent games, especially Banjo Kazooie. It's probably one of the best 3d platformers out there. Paper Mario is ABSOLUTELYworth your time as well, Harvest Moon 64 is a great way to relax, Blast Corps is a sleeper hit if I've ever seen one, Pilot Wings is a great choice, All of the Nintendo First party titles are good choices in addition. The n64 also had the best version of Shadow man, an entirely underrated game. I'll have to dog out my collection and get back to you
