Why purchase this system? Read on with an open mind., September 5, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Star Wars - Episode I - Racer Bundle (Video Game)
As we know the N64 is a system that is past its prime and aging quickly into the abyss of "retro" status. So why should anyone who does not already have the system purchase one. 1.) Because of its age the price is coming down. ... If you don't believe me, then try the mysimon.com search engine for yourself. That makes this system very affordable now. 2.) Game are the only reason for really owning a console system, so if there are very many AAA titles available that makes the system worth owning. Games like Super Mario 64, Zelda Ocarina of Time, Zelda Major's Mask, Mario Kart 64, Donkey Kong 64, WaveRace 64, StarFox 64, GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, make the N64 worth owning. If you cannot find at least two games that you like in the above list, you might as well give up playing video games all-together. Two of my favorite CONSOLE games are Zelda Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64, and in my humble opinion they are reason enough to have the system, but there are several others that I like too :) Hope that you found my review somewhat helpful. Thank you for your time.

Cartridge games will be obsolete soon, November 26, 2001
This review is from: Star Wars - Episode I - Racer Bundle (Video Game)
I have owned N64 for at least five years, and I still play it, even though I bought a PS2 a year ago. The games are classic favorites, and it is great for multiplayer. The best games, in my opinion, are Mario Kart 64, Goldeneye 007, Smash Brothers 64, Perfect Dark, Zelda 64 (the flute one), and Mario 64. If you want a good sturdy system that can actually take a good measure of physical abuse, then by all means snatch it up. The only problems I have with the system are the poor quality of memory cards it puts out, and the awkward controller. However, since at present all the high end systems are based on the plastic disk ROM/DVD format, it may be worth something in the future, and in 30 yrs you can bring it to the Antiques Roadshow and have it appraised.

I have played Star Wars Racer with my boy for hours on end and we still pick the game up. It is fast fun, and full of good action. As for the N64 system itself, it is the best game system to buy for kids. The selection of games is more geared to children, so this is a no brainer for a birthday gift for a deserving little one!
