The N64 - What did you think?

Crap.  Double post.  Is it just me or does this server suck or something?  Nowhere else do I have to refresh every page I go to just to see it and continuously have to repost, not knowing whether or not it posted the first try.

If whatever I just posted sounds rude/hateful/whatever then you probably read it wrong, but I will insert apology here, anyways, just in case.

N64 had way better graphics than PSX did, no load time at all, and did not require memory cards, though strangely enough some developers chose to require it for their games,


Actually, Shadow Gate 64 had to load. No joke. Took a good 15 seconds. How's THAT for quality programming? And not only did some games require a memory card on the N64, but alot took well over half of it to save one game. That REALLY pissed me off. Turok took a good chunk out. FIFA took an entire freakin' card, Warzone took half. Bleh.

I never understood the whole memory card thing with the N64, the only thing I can think of is that Nintendo wanted to complete with Sony with the memory card thing.

I think originally, it was so 3rd party developers could 'lower' the cost of production because they didn't have to worry about an internal battery. That saving didn't pass onto the consumer though >_>

Wipeout had load times.
My friend had it for his N64, and when it was laoding, i was like "what the heck is this? Is this a load time? What's a load time?"

and the game wasn't that great.

F-Zero x is bloody awesome.
But yeah, I don't see the point of buying now since F-Zero GX is coming.  Unless Nintendo put it in as a pre-order bonus! F-Zero an F-Zero 2 from SNES, and F-Zero X!

I have had much quality time playing Mario Golf.  I've always had a thing for golfing games, but alot of them just sucked.  Finnaly, a quality golfing title with MARIO!!!  

I just played Mario Golf  GC yesterday on a walmart demo yesterday, and i was disappointed.  Probably becasue I didn't read the control screen, but I had figured it out for the most part.  The swing meter was different than in the 64 version.  It goes up to (wherever on the meter you want) and then it doesn't come back down.  Instead, a seperate bar on the right starts moving, and i'm not sure wheather I had to press A to stop it becasue it said "automatic".  I'm guessing I didn't, but I did anyway.

But if course, it was probably from lack of practice.  There were good things too, like it said how far on the power meter to stop it, which made putting easier.

Sorry for my rambling about something off topic, so.... err....Mario Golf was good.

What is this about a F-Zero 2?  I don't remember an F-Zero 2 in the SNES, or anywhere else either.  All I can account for is, SNES, N64, GBA and now GCN.
