If you have never heard about these games go read about them and you will see why this console was important for games development. For everyone who had, what is a Silicion Graphics (SGI computer) games box, in 1997, 1998, 1999 running 64 bit graphics, then you know how good it was and how it is the games on this thing that made the PS2 all the more possible. Some of these games are now leading developers today.

The only drawback was no cut scenes and nothing really long because the game was on a catridge. Still this box was 64 bit graphics and you got that.

Even though it gathers dust now, it is still a classic and integrel part of gaming evolution.

Okay,here's a list of the pros and cons for N64:
Pros
Huge Game Library:
Although it doesn;t have as many games as Genesis,SNES,PS2,or Nes,it sill has 294 titles which should keep you busy.
Multiplayer Games
When it comes down to this,N64 rocks! With Battle Tanx,Battle Tanx 2:Global Assault,Mario Party,Mario Party 2,Mario Party 3,Donkey Kong 64,Super Smash Bros.,Mario Kart 64,and many other multiplayer games,despite no online games,Nintendo 64 is one of the best systems for 2-4 player games around.
1-Player Games
Okay,so maybe cood one player games were in short supply,but Nintendo goes for Quality,not Quantity.With revolutionary best sellers like Super Mario 64,The Legend Of Zelda:Ocarina Of Time,Donkey Kong 64,Pokemon Stadium,Pokemon,Stadium 2,and Pokemon Snap(okay,maybe Pokemon Snap wasn't that great,but who cares. Besides,it was fairly revolutionairy),Nintendo has great 1-player games.
Graphics(note:this is both a pro and con,but I put it in the pros)
Although Surpassed by Sega Dreamcast,Playstation 2,Xbox,and Nintendo Gamecube,N64 still has graphics that blow away Playstation One,NES,SNES,GB,GBC,and Sega Genesis. With highly detailed backgrounds,character detail,sharp animations,and real-time lighting effects,N64's grphics still stand up to the test of time by showing what they can do with The Legend Of
Zelda:Ocarina Of Time and Donkey Kong 64.
Pricing:Although you get a bit more for your money with DC,if you can stand not CD player and no online play(which I can and I hope most people can) plus non top of the line Power,the N64 is the system of choice among price conscious parents.
Cons:
Cartridge's cvost more than CD's and ward off devlopers:self-explanatory.
Power Surppassed by Xbox,Ps2,Gamecube,and Dreamcast. Although N64 has excellent graphics,they are still surppassed by newer systems like PS2,Gamecube,DC, and Xbox.
Practically no new games
There is one more game on its way for N64,Tony Hawk's pro Skater 3,but other than that no new games are on the way for it.
Lack of Racing Games and RPG's:There was only one RPG for it,Quest 64,which was overall not as good as other RPG's,buit don't wseat about what I said about racing games,there's plenty of good ones such as Rush 1-2049,Road Rash 64,Off Road
Challenge,California Speed,and Cruisin USA.
Well,enjoy this system,or if you don't get it,spend the money you just saved wisely!

I like N64s alot but this one is an exception I like the console but the controller is kind of gives you the you're-touching-Mario's-guts felling. I like all the other N64s (exept the Pikachu one)I think the funtatstic series is the best.

this controler is cool.i got this set a few years ago.the extreme green controler only comes in this set!amazing

It is a nice system. It works just as well as any other system I guess. My friend has a differnt kind of N64 system and I personaly think that this one is better. I think that it would definatly not be a waste of your money if you bought this system.

I BOUGHT THIS THINKING I WOULD ACTUALLY GET A GREEN CONTROLLER BUT I GOT A BROKEN PURPLE ONE! I DIDN'T GET THE TV HOOKUP THING! AND THE FREE GAMES YOU GAVE ME WITH IT DID NOT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! E-mail me when you decide to give me a refund.

This is a Retro Game Sysytem,but still cool!!!!They work like a PS2 but even better than a PS2.buy it,BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this system. The controller's great. The games were made correctly. This is very durable though. And the controller is dangerous. I got a cut with it. If you are almost broke,go to a gsmestop and buy an N64. Buy Mario Kart 64 and Super Mario 64.

Nintendo in my words have gone downhill since the mid to late 90's and now they're mostly gone from the gaming industry. I have to admit though in the 80's they were HUGE! The Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) you can never diss. I liked the NES so much and even when the Super NES came out I still played with my old buddy. I do like Sega, Sony, and Microsoft but now I really have to interest with Nintendo. The Nintendo 64 was an okay system. It used cartridges and I wish Nintendo would have realized that now you can have disks! PSOne was a 32-bit system while the Nintendo 64 was a 64-bit system. I really do not see the big difference with the graphics and I like PSOne's graphics better than the Nintendo. Nintendo 64 has all the classic games as seen in the 80's. Arcade games and Mario games are so old and I think Nintendo should go more to adults now. For children the Nintendo 64 and the GameCube are very good systems because there is no violent games or anything. When you get to be a teenager you start wanting violent games (Grand Theft Auto). All around the Nintendo 64 with the wierd controller hasn't satisified me but if you like it that's your opinion.

I nurmoly dont like the classect but I am a big fan of the 64
