Advantages: The games rock!

Disadvantages: The specs don't! (Although they were pretty groundbreaking at the time)

So it doesn't have the graphics, sound, complexity, multi-buttoned faceted capacity of the 21st Century consoles - who cares? This device is a ground-braking piece of technology, with a rightful place in gaming history. The introduction of rumble-paks, 360 degree movement, 64-bit - this is where it all started. And this is where we saw the likes of James Bond making his first appearance on a console, in what is still considered his greatest gaming moment. This is where we saw Super Mario take flight in the hours of fun that was the 3D version of the Italian plumber (did you collect all 120 Power Stars?). This is where gamers took their seventh day of rest, knowing that more was ahead, but nevertheless wanting to enjoy the moment. Chunky, cluttered with graphic flaws and glitches, so pixellated that it's hard to believe this era of gaming even existed (if you think this is bad, try playing the original Pac-Man or Space invaders on a widescreen). The N64 reaches a perfection of it's own - it taught gamers that it's not always the spec that's important, but the games themselves.

Summary: THE Games Console!
