Yeah, I probably won't sell my for a number of reasons.

1. They aren't worth sh*t so I wouldnt get any money for it anyway
2. It's got games I wanna play
3. It's a great system. Mines been in pieces for years and it still works. Its not even screwed together, all the parts are loose, but it runs fine!

Also It has four controller ports without using a multitap & It actually has good multi player games to go along with that.

I just beat Conker's Bad Fur Day and Ocarina of Time for the first time on my N64 just the other day.

I love stocking up on cheap games for it. Wouldn't ever sell it.

Nothing beats getting great games for solid prices. That's the benefit when you do not care about latest graphics. There are so many great games out there, especially in the 98-2002 era, which play just as nice as today's games.

When the Snes was introduced everyone was selling their NES stuff. I made many good deals at flee markets, I stocked up on NES consoles and controllers (my bro was great at destroying them

) and I will never sell all the old stuff. Maybe because I'm somewhat of a collector as well, but selling games for a couple of bucks is not worth it when you have so many fond memories of them.

I agree, nothing beats the games of old not even the mighty XBox 360 or the yet to come POS 3, but its great to play most on the beloved DC

Cid Highwind · Post by **Cid Highwind** » Wed Nov 30, 2005 4:47 pm

Alright, don't stone me for this but....

What if the Chankast team would be able to develop a Chankast version running on X360? I know they were planning to do one for Xbox, but there hasn't been any news from them for quite a while now. The X360 is powerful enough if you just look at the specs, however the biggest problem I think will be it's architecture and how accessible it will, or will not, be for homebrew devvers.

Though I must say, even if this will happen, there won't be any console replacing my DC for a long time, I'm too much of a DC and NES fan for that to happen

The N64 here in the USA wasn't a flop. It lasted it's full lifespan, and had many fun titles.

I remember a buddy of mine at college took 3 crap XBOX games (think it was WWE Raw, FIFA, and some Ice hockey game) that he had to Gamestation and swopped em for a pile of ace N64 games

Most people are idiots. Nintendo is still the #1 video game hardware manufacturer (in Japan and probably still in the US and UK - it was in 2004 at least. It's hard to tell outside of Japan because accurate records aren't released to the public), but you never hear any one mention that fact either.
