Fun fact, I live down the road from Nintendo Australia. (You may worship me now)

Depends, can you get me in?

Yup! They got doors and everything there.

Man that Nintendo, they thought of everthing! :insane:

I know everyone likes to quote Goldeneye64 as the 1st console game that got FPS right on consoles, but I like to cite Turok on the N64 that got the controls right. If you used the control scheme of Turok on Goldeneye (forget what that setup was called), then it was awesome. Used the yellow C buttons for strafe left/right and forward/back, with the analogue stick as mouselook.

Anyhow, here's some Probotector:
As I said; flashy, glitzy and devoid of character.
Biased muppet.  :wanker:
Why don't you try coming up with a good case before you act like an indifferent tosser who thinks his opinion on computer games is fucking gospel.
I played both systems, and I don't favour one over the other. You're missing a lot of priceless gems that way.

I've played both systems too.  I played on a friend's Sega Mega Drive sometimes while I was in primary school, and at one point, a friend of my sister, who was studying for his exams at uni, lent me his Sega Mega Drive so that he wouldn't be distracted by it.  I played it on and off for a few months, and I found the games in his collection to have an arcade feel to them, with an emphasis on fancy graphics, fast paced action and quick gratification, which didn't appeal to me at all.  I've always found Sega games very forgettable.  While the SNES also had bad games, only a minority of the games I've played for the SNES have been what I'd consider severely lacking and many have been highly enjoyable and memorable, while all the games I've played on the Sega Mega Drive have failed to hold my interest.  If Sega games are your thing, good for you; I've yet to find one that does anything for me.

I think the SNES suffered the same fate as the PlayStation 1&2 and Possibly now the Wii. Being the popular System at the time, they are subject to being littered with a ton of crap quickly made games just to cash in on the said systems popularity. Doesnt mean those systems didnt have their gems.

Super Mario World FTW!!!  :green:

When my PS2 stops working, I'm getting a PS3. Not worth getting the second one again if the third one plays DVDs and the first two playstation games.


I downloaded my first game on Wii. It was Mario Kart 64. I have been wanting to play it but at one of the stores here, it was 29.99 and I thought forget it if I can get the game on Wii for ten bucks since it costs 1000 points to download it and it costs ten dollars to buy that many points.

You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

If you PC is good enough, you could download Project64 and then download the ROM of Mario Kart 64. I bought myself a wired XBOX 360 Controller (Has normal USB connector) and set up the emulator to use that. I found a torrent of every Nintendo64 ROM ever (about 5gig) N64-full I think it was called, unpacked to like 40gig.

I also have VisualBoyAdvance, which emulates Game Boy, Super Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance. I also have a shitload of ROMs for that as well, pretty much all except the really latest, cos i haven't got off my lazy arse and downloaded them yet.

Then there is Snes9x which obviously emulates a Super Nintendo. Got a bunch of ROMs for that as well.

And all these run off my XBOX 360 Controller  :green:
