Advantages: quick loading, great gameplay
Disadvantages: not enough games
its a tragic waste of a short life. the poor n64 teetering on the brink of obsoletion - wounded beyond repair in the war between itself and the playstation.
i've never understood why the n64 did so badly in the popularity stakes. games such as zelda, rogue squadron, banjo-kazooie, banjo-tooie, goldeneye, perfect dark etc blew away anything the playstation had to offer (with the possible exception of the resident evil series).
i suppose it could be down to the amount of decent games produced - the playstation has hundreds of titles compared to a tiny amount on the n64.
i think its tragic that the n64 has fallen so low in the popularity stakes. its good to see that they're still producing games (banjo-tooie for example.)
i can't see it ever recovering from the slump its in but i'll hold on to mine in the hope that good games still come out for it.
down with the playstation - the n64 rules!!

- 16/01/02 A good op, but could do with some more detail (darkchild_ie makes some good points in his comment).
Lack of advertising and the fact that N64 games were on a (expensive-to-produce) cartridge format meaning that new games retailed normally for £45-£60 are the factors I felt contributed most to the N64's decline. |

I agree with what you said though, in fact recently I have been playing on N64 games via my PC. Because of how good they are I am going to pick up an N64 seeing how cheap they are. Best game I have played at the moment is either Conkers Bad Fur Day, which is hilarious or WWF No Mercy which is a damned fine game. |
