While we didn't get one at launch, I still remember the wow factor of first playing this console; the fully textured and solid three dimensional worlds felt like something from the future.

From Ocarina of Time, to Mario 64, to Banjo Kazooie and Tooie, Goldeneye 007, Perfect Dark, Diddy Kong Racing, Mario Kart 64, F-Zero X, Star Wars Rogue Squadron, Starfox 64, and more, it brought us some of the most unforgettable and epic gaming adventures of the 90s, and pushed gaming forward with some of the most revolutionary titles of all time.

Anyone else have one back in the day, and if so, what are your favourite memories of it?

I never had easy access to a N64 growing up. Jumped from SNES to the Gamecube and most of my friends had a Playstation. So I mostly played N64 games emulated on PC. Looking back it is strange that good emulation was so early for N64. My best memories of games from the system is playing Super Smash Bros with my best friend, hour after hour, even if it was emulated.

When I finally got a real N64 system around the same time Wii was released I played mostly Pokémon Snap on it. The Zelda games I played on Gamecube instead and for some reason Mario 64 was never my game and FPS has never been my genre so 007 I have not even tried.

The controllers form factor is something I kind of like. With 3 different type of grips it worked for many type of games. The control stick was revolutionary and complete crap at the same time. 5 hours off Mario Party and it gave up.
