I had a VHS tape that showed a trailer of Mario 64 lol it was amazing. I don't even remember how I got it.

And mine still works!

You really needed to point that out? 👴

If we speak about next gen, Super Mario 64 was a real next generation. It was a magical moment. Today kids don't have this kind of magic anymore.

My first memory of the N64 was seeing it in a Blockbuster not long after it came out. The kid playing was doing the first slide in Mario 64 over and over. Later I saw it at a Toys R Us and the person was in Dire Dire Docks. I remember the tint was off and the water looked green. Both of those locations are long gone now, of course. 👴

I still have one.

The beautiful crystal clear version I bough on marketplace just to collect and play mario 64.

I bought one the day it came out in the UK. Back in those days they didn’t get released in all countries at the same time, there was nearly a year between Japan and the UK. I used to go through the backs of magazines staring at the adverts trying to find someone who would sell an import for a remotely reasonable price but they were inflated by like 2.5x.

I still remember seeing it as a young child at the E3, which is a wild memory now because (1) they stopped allowing children and (2) they no longer exist.

The demo included Bom-omb Battlefield and it was the first time I had seen 3D. Sure PlayStation and Saturn (and I think Jaguar?) were there too, but Mario 64 was definitely the most impressive.

Just started playing jet force Gemini the other day. I wasn't crazy as a kid, the targeting system is indeed awful.

Perfect Dark multiplayerwas sort if the precursor to a lot of online shooters. It was also the only one with bots which made it highly advanced for it's time and allowed a lot of replayability.

Banjo-Kazooie was my favorite game of all time, though.

What better way to celebrate the 30th N64 anniversary than by playing the PC decomps/ports of the greatest hits: https://readonlymemo.com/decompilation-projects-and-n64-recompiled-list/#n64-recompiled-pc-ports

We got to rent time on one of these that very summer in an arcade-like coffee shop (or something, I was young, I don't remember) in NYC. Everything was in Japanese, but Mario was running around in an open world and it blew our minds.

And emulation still isn't perfect, I'm considering to buy it one for my crt.

Three games at launch in the US. Mario 64, PilotWings 64, and WaveRace 64.

All bangers.

Ouch i feel old

I didn’t grow up with the console but I absolutely adore it. It birthed some of my favorite games of all time. There’s something that feels so cozy about it. I know it’s been said to death but I feel like I can talk to another N64 fan and it’s almost guaranteed we played the same games

fuck I'm. old, I had one. ?Mario Kart and Golden Eye got played... a loy.

I played one once at a rich cousin's house around release and I think once a few years later. I wouldn't touch one again until 2012ish and that controller felt awful.

No
