Anyone else truly addicted? they should make a wii-remake but without motion controls. you plug the wired control in and use that.

I was addicted, but 10 years ago. You would like the nintendo 64 version if you like the idea of the wii version.

I used to be really addicted to this game, and I remember playing that clock world for 8 hours on one day to get the 100 coin star, which was the last one I needed for Yoshi.

I used to be good at the clock. I bet if I played it now I would suck arse.

12 years ago I thought this game was wonderful and good graphics but now it sucks it looks like because I had seen better graphics than that and I have the DS version and it's a lot better and better graphics. The 64 version looks like it lacks entertainment now.

The 64 version was brillinat in its time, and in my opinion still has awesome retro appreal. And the fact it reminds me of my past and I'll always have my memories of it.

Yeah it sure was just like the old Nintendo was great back in the 1980's and everyone was saying what great graphics they were. They were great back then but now it considered they aren't great because we have made graphics better now.

The graphics on the N64 sucked, even in its time. The graphics on the PC was much better. The N64 used a lot of sprites with bi-linear filtering, the PC would used models instead. In all fairness, the PSX had better graphics than the N64 as they had the right idea of using models. Models being the more commonly used thing in games. It may have used software, but models are still being used, can't get any better than that. Could never stand the controller of the N64, never felt right, after so many hours my hands would hurt or get blisters so I HAD to stop playing. The more common games to play in the day were of course Goldeneye and Mario Kart 64. I never liked the idea of a FPS on a console

the PC cant really be compared to console,as it can be upgraded to suit better games as time goes on and console makers are known to underclock them,with full power [if that] only used near the end of its life.

am got a lot of blisters from the control pad as well,especially as the sticks were so rough and plasticy [at least the dual shock/dual shock II sticks were softer and better to use when warm/sweaty] but thought goldeneye played great on the N64,it seemed to work perfectly with the controls,and is usually always in game journo 'best games ever' lists.the music was great to,have got goldeneye to thank for discovering Orbitals 'the box' [the snowy level music].


have never played mario64,cant be bothered with it,not a mario liker.
but graphics would never stop from playing it or another older game again,still like playing games such as asteroid,and the great but rare ps one game vib ribbon which uses the same sort of graphics-black background with white lines and shapes.

I remember years ago, I think I returned to the hotel as we had not yet moved into the house from moving to Darwin, hen there I found out on the tv I could see mario running around a bunch of bombs, my family had got a N64 and the first game is Mario 64. For me Mario 64 brought me out from games like Super Mario, Jurasic park and some fire fighter game, into playing 3D movement game that was amazing to me, and just seeing what mario could do was great. For me I liked how there was so many things, I disliked water levels, and I was a bit skitish about some of the scary levels, though the boo's level I think was very intersting. Some of my best memories are of playing in the bomb, snow and crazy mushroom level.

I haven't liked any of the 3D Mario games. Super Mario World for the SNES is still the best Mario game ever.

Mario 64 is easily one of the best games ever made, even now. I remember when the N64 first came out - my local mall had the system with a demo of the game at a Sears. I got to play it for maybe 10-15 minutes, and ever since then I just knew I had to get an N64 for that game. I still remember walking out of the mall on that day, still in awe from playing Mario 64.
Mario 64 was the first true 3D game I had ever played, and it (along with Virtua Fighter, my local arcades, a few gaming magazines I had bought at the time, and the Sega Saturn) helped to quickly and permanently shape me into a die-hard gamer at the tender age of ten.

No it isn't.
Not when you can use Star Road to skip from Vanilla Cave all the way to Bowser's Castle. That made the game too easy.
