:lol: I can't say thank you enough guys, really.


PS-How do you make the sigs with the little systems in them?
You're welcome, though I must admit I don't know much about Gamecube imports.

As for the signature pictures, I believe folks made them on their own, uploaded the pictures to a filesharing website, then put the image URL in their signatures using the Img tags.

I might as well ask,

Any one has any idea what would a full N64 collection would cost?
If I wanted to buy the whole thing...

and how many game releases for the 64 were there any way?

Depends, what region are you interested in? All regions, or just one in particular?

It can get pricy. Really depends on a lot of factors though.

"seem"? Hey, the SNES has easily one of the best game libraries of ANY console. It poops all over the N64. The SNES is debatably the best system ever (PC Engine!!!), and easily in most people's top 3 or 4. The N64 doesn't even make everyone's top 10 list.

The N64 has maybe a dozen "must have" games. The SNES has probably 50 or more. Even more if you count Japanese imports. By the way, both systems are very easy to mod for imports.

Get Mario 64, Mario Kart, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Smash Bros., F-Zero X, Wave Race, Pilotwings, Star Fox and Goldeneye, and you've covered the very basics. Others have have mentioned the other, IMO less important but just as fun, "must haves" (ie. Banjo, Eternal Dark, etc.).

The SNES is more expensive overall, but has way more quality games for the system including "E.V.O. Search of Eden" and "Ogre Battle."

Breetai, I will admit, I try not to get any more than 35 games for a system, unless there are some I absolutely can not pass up. 50 though? Damn. I don't think that I've ever had that many games at once...
Systems: Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, N64, Gamecube, Xbox 360

WTB: Boxes for a silver Gamecube System(and a hyperport cover), and a box for an Ice Blue N64 console. Will pay 7.50 for each and shipping.

Heh, my current SNES collection is at 177. They're not all good necessarily, but I plan to get a lot more.

If we're talking about Ogre Battles, Ogre Battle 64 is one of the few games that make getting a 64 worthwhile.

Doom 64 They just dont make shooters like this anymore. The only problem that ticks me off is the double barrel shot gun animation. PUT THE EFFING SHELLS IN IT SO IT LOOKS COOOOOL :x

Star Wars Shadows of the Empire just too good.

Turok 2 If you liked Metroid Prime you'll like this plus looks fan-friggin-tastic with the RAM expansion

Yoshi Story very fun side scroller

Paper Mario best rpg on 64

Rush 2 very fun arcade racer with cool music and cool cars

And the others people mentioned

Make sure to get A Mario Party game.
