Would have been funnier if they were ring shaped like those chicken things from school lunches.

I am reading "How to Read Maya Glyphs," by Michael Coe.

No, but chell Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i:aps,k:n64&keywords=n64&ie=UTF8&qid=1266379300
400 bucks for a new one? fuuuuuuuuuck that. 33 bucks for a used one..thats good, that's like Ebay. But on Ebay they give it to you with controllers, vibration packs, memory packs, games, etc. I just can't make myself buy a used one, it gives me the creeps just to think what they could have done with it

I think the scarier part is the $349.99 for Goldeneye 007. I'm both glad we are getting Perfect Dark on XBLA, but its still sad to know we'll likely never see a re-release of Goldeneye.

$350? Are you kidding? I saw that game at some gaming store a few years back for like 20 bucks. I didn't buy it cause 1. I didn't have a N64 anymore and 2. I though 20 bucks was too much for it.

Give it the once-over with a q-tip?

Do you think that'd be enough?

Was it sealed in mint package? That is what they are selling for between $349.99 and $995.00. Used is selling for about $9 to a $110. Those that consider theirs to be "collectibles" between $17 and $88

Rama · « **Reply #159 on:** Feb 18, 2010, 03:51:10 PM »

Oh well that makes a lot more sense then. This was just the game, no box or manual.

Or rub it all over with one of those Lysol wipes.

Fuck Lysol, I use Clorox wipes with fresh lemon scent

B E C K · « **Reply #163 on:** Feb 21, 2010, 06:02:27 PM »

I use Clorox too but I couldn't remember how to spell that.

Hah, I got Shadows of the Empire on ebay for the minimum bid amount... 99 cents. Was the only bidder. (Of course, there was also the $4 shipping...)

Now I'm considering what other games to buy. I'm totally considering Starfox and Conkers, since I haven't played either.

Rama · « **Reply #165 on:** Feb 23, 2010, 04:17:36 PM »

Get Conker. Conker's Bad Fur Day is a really fun game.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #166 on:** Feb 23, 2010, 04:26:42 PM »

Got Bioshock 2, but we are changing it for Alien vs Predator

Fiero · « **Reply #167 on:** Feb 23, 2010, 07:14:12 PM »

Both of those games are exceptional, though Bioshock 2 is a bit of a grind game. It is kind of like playing Tower Defense over and over.

Regarding N64 games: Most of the St*r WarzzZZ games on N64 were exceptional. I loved Rogue Squadron and Shadows of the Empire.

Conker's Bad Fur Day is a GREAT choice. I do not think I ever beat it, but it is awesome and hilarious and totally against everything Nintendo stands for.

Other N64 games I liked: Mario Kart 64, Super Smash Bros, Banjo-Kazooie, etc.

Rama · « **Reply #168 on:** Feb 23, 2010, 11:45:18 PM »

Oh yes Mario Kart. that's pure love right there.

OT: I just finished "Reading the Maya Glyps," by Michael D. Coe. Pretty interesting. I do not think I can read the glyps properly, but given some time I can almost definitely write my name out phonetically.

I was obsessed with playing Mario Kart. I also loved Mario 64, Goldeneye, Donkey Kong Country and ZELDA!! I actually got the new DSi just so I could play Mario 64. And then my heart broke when I found out they didnt have Ocarina of time :-(

Fiero · « **Reply #171 on:** Feb 24, 2010, 11:21:35 AM »

I feel the same way about that, but Ocarina needed quite a few more buttons than Mario. They would have to rebuild it with touch controls, and it would not be the same game.

Derrick · « **Reply #172 on:** Feb 24, 2010, 07:48:42 PM »

Wii has Ocarina of Time, either through download or the two Gamecube disks (I have both). When I put it up on my HD with the wireless, it's so cash.

Fiero · « **Reply #173 on:** Feb 24, 2010, 09:02:32 PM »

I heard that the two disc version was busted while playing on the Wii? My buddy bought me the download version, I still need to finish playing through it. I have never finished it.

Derrick · « **Reply #174 on:** Feb 24, 2010, 09:37:46 PM »

Well nothing bad's ever happened to mine.

I was watching a friend play Majora's mask, and it made me itch for it. I think I gotta play OoT first.

NO SHIT. wait, i dont have a wii. fuck. Maybe I can just d/l into my comp?

N64s should be cheap now. I have mine packed away only because it's not wireless.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #177 on:** Feb 26, 2010, 08:55:21 AM »

Yeah they are cheap, but as I said before I get quezy just thinking about how they were used...there's many weirdos out there. And if a 007 game , mint condition, costs 350 bucks , I can just imagine how much a new n64 costs

Derrick · « **Reply #178 on:** Feb 26, 2010, 09:16:07 AM »

Cheapest new one on Amazon is $480. You can get them used for less than thirty. There are not that many weirdos out there that would actually do that sort of thing.
