    As a collector, once you start getting a few colors, it becomes an addiction. I have multiple N64s, Game Boy Micros, SPs, and DS's. It's like getting a tattoo, one isn't enough.

    ....I never got a 64. My parents didn't like the idea of me having one, or any gaming system because they thought it was a waste because they had bought me a Sega Genesis but I rarely played...UHM Hello, the only game I had was Art of Fighting (beat it) and No Escape (died like every five seconds)
    I would just watch the commercials for the games and all that stuff....all my friends had one.....except me :(

    @thespyderboy: I agree. N64 had some very awesome games that would put most games today to shame. Most games today lack the heart of gaming!!
    You can't just give a player 7 levels of linear gameplay and call it a game... I thought things were supposed to get better over time??
    I mean, 40-60 bucks to play yet another game running the unreal engine offering mediocre gameplay with limited options and an even worse story to boot, it's not even worth my money. Not even worth pirating imo.

    So true...there were so many games I would have LOVED to play for the 64 but yeah...
    I never could ask for one for my birthday and that was because well my family didn't really give me a choice until I grew older o__o (or for Christmas)

    @PlayerX: Apologies if any sexism-rage was implied (I figured you weren't doing it, more of a standard assumption that other people are like yourself - male gaming nerds; assuming that's what you are...). Just wanted to inform. :)
    By the way, I like just saying what is slowly becoming the rare gender-neutral English word to describe someone - guy.

    @NekuSakuraba: Actually... you did ;) (mentioned it in an article some time in the past week...).
    Well, at least you have the chance to catch up on some N64 games via the Virtual Console (though you miss out on the awesomeness that is/was the N64 controller - it just felt so right...)
    Just want to say, I may have grown up with the NES and original game boy (and unfortunately missed out on the SNES), but it's the N64 that defines my expectations of games. There have been a few gems since, but on the whole the gaming ideas have had some big missteps....

    Wah, now I feel like looking around for a N64 to buy! Maybe they aren't so expensive?...maybe.
    All I know is once I'm get one (or a virtual one) I'm going to play Pokemon Snap! (or that other pokemon game)
    ...I can't believe I just said that.

    And People wonder why the Wii only comes in White (and black in Japan).
    I remember saving up all the money i got so i could get a 64 (this was before all the colors so just black) i think i was $50 short but my mom said she would cover the rest, thing was i didnt have enough money for a game after saving up for the system but bless my mom she surprised me when she brought the 64 home from the store and had GoldenEye as well. And she surprised me again that year on my birthday by, unbeknownst to me, preordering Ocarina Of Time picking it up day one. Those are some of the reasons it was my favorite system. Man im going to go call my mom.

    EDIT: Oh and when the new colors came out i was pissed cause i wanted the Orange or Smoke colored console but there was no way i could afford to get another one.

    @Thanatos: My mom did something similar for my PS1. I had enough money for the system, which thankfully included a demo disk as I couldn't afford a game with it. I quickly handed her what was my life savings at the time for her to go pick up my system. She told she would once I cleaned under my bed. I was hesistant at first but did it cause I wanted my PS1. I looked under my bed and was pleasently surprised with a PS1 bundle including a second controller, a copy of GameDay 98, Twisted Metal and a Memory Card. That is probably the happiest moment of my child hood. It all went downhill from there.

    @Thanatos: You're really lucky you happened to get one of the best games EVER made when you got your '64!
    Man, I must have played Goldeneye with my friends for YEARS after it made any sense! I had a friend who could figure out where the spawning points were in multiplayer, and which one you'd be appearing at!
    Using Oddjob (and the shorty cheat) was a no-no... if you ducked with him on that cheat, he'd go through the floor!

    Every morning, he grabs a different one off the wall, puts it under a plastic Christmas tree, and leaves the room.
    He then runs back in screaming, starts rubbing his hands frantically over the box and starts screaming "Nintendo Sixty-FOUR! OH MY GOD!!"
    Ah, the nostalgia...

    My N64 finally died just recently actually. Actually the thing itself still works, my controllers just aren't working anymore.
    Such a great gaming system. I don'y know why everyone hates on it so much, It really did have the best games of it's console generation IMO

    I only ever had a standard black N64... I also had the add-on brick you stuck in it to make it do nothing better.

    I still think the N64 console and controller had the best form factor of any game console... in terms of apperance
    I hope we get memory that goes in like cartidges but work like disks in the future.. because seeing the art on the physical game WHILE YOU PLAY is just awesome....

    FINALLY, someone else who had a golden Nintendo 64! I thought I was like the only kid in Brooklyn who got one along with Goldeneye 007 in 1997! That was quite the golden day, pun intended. Granted, I only got the system with ONE golden controller (two would have been awesome), but it's so nice to be reminded of what I used to have. I'm a little biased but I think the gold one was the coolest :)
