When the games came out, I remember the old 4 screen multiplayer Mario Kart 64 days. Then soon after Goldeneye 007, which blew my mind.

33 minutesI still have one.
The beautiful crystal clear version I bough on marketplace just to collect and play mario 64.
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.

The closest we got to true next-gen experience is perhaps progress in VR but it didn’t take off like 3D did.

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.

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

I’ve got one that showed Donkey Kong Country for the SNES. I think they sent them out if you had a Nintendo Power subscription.
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

And emulation still isn’t perfect, I’m considering to buy it one for my crt.
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. 👴
Oh, man, Blockbuster. That unlocks another bunch of memories.

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.

I discovered Starfox 64 the same year I discovered weed. It was a good year.

Hehe. If that was me I’d have discovered weed at like, 10. That may be problematic, lol.

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.
