Keep the replies civil or the thread gets closed.
Article IV, Section 4 of the US Constitution
"Republican government
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."
The US Government is obligated to protect any state:
- from invasion
- from domestic violence upon request of the legislature or governor.
It seems to me that we have either an invasion - may be a tough sell as it is not a government-sponsored invasion - or domestic violence above the level which local law enforcement and border patrols (given the current ROE) can address. Anybody know if the AZ legislature or governor has requested assistance?

propagandists will use language.
Did Harryball work for the Brady Bunch?
See, it really doesn't mean much whether there was a question mark or not. The damage gets done just by making something look as if it might be true; however absurd the question.
So, don't take offense. I'm not saying you work for the Brady Bunch, I just asked a question.
That is the same game FOX played if they asked the question, "US giving land to Mexico?"
It makes something look plausible, if not even true, when the writer or speaker knows full well that the implied assertion is false. (As of course I know Harryball is unlikely to work for the Brady Bunch.)
That is the propagandistic trick which is often seen not just with FOX, but very many headline writers. Often times, if you look carefully at the actual story, it doesn't even contain the information the headline hinted at, or the same subject matter.
Some of this stuff is accidental and due to the complex nature of our language. But, there are plenty of people with great skill at deliberately deceiving through conscious misuse of language.
Take this thread title as an example, what is it again, something like, "US keeps Americans out of Parts of Arizona." The title conveys something which is clearly not true. It is like writing that, "The City of Bryan Texas keeps Texans out of part of Texas," without providing any of the qualifiers about Gang Free Zone Injunctions. The statement is factually correct, but conveys something which is factually incorrect.
It may well be that the answer may be yes, but only after getting lobotomized. Or, it may well be that many who have not been lobotomized will still think the answer is yes. That's why the techniques is an effective propagandistic tool.
See above. Questions posed in particular ways and in certain circumstances are not mere invitations to additional research.Quote:
If you choose to read the answer into the question, then you fail to understand how to convey thoughts in English. Questions don't imply the answers, but, rather, suggest a topic of research or discussion to determine the correct answer.
Not with the material which followed immediately in textual form. The meaning of language, the interpretation made by the listener or reader, includes context.Quote:
The actual title is "US closes part of Arizona to Americans". This appears, based on all the factual evidence, to be a true statement.
The example given with regard to injunctive action against gang members explained things. Yes, in the example the statement was factually correct but also factually incorrect. It was factually correct in that it correctly stated that the city was keeping Texans our of an area of the city. It was factually incorrect in that it failed to tell the WHOLE story; that is, only those who are gang members with injunctions against them are being kept out. The point was that how a headline is framed influences how the reader understands the meaning. If an ordinary Texan reads "City keeps Texans out" they react with anger unless they know the famous, "rest of the story."Quote:
Now we have factually correct statements that are factually incorrect?
The USFWS posted advisories. But even if US Citizens were being kept out, that is only part of the story. The propagandist wishes for people to think that the US did something horrid, and ceded land to Mexico. The truth was something different entirely. The propagandist wanted the reader or listener to believe the event was current, when it was a 4 year old event.Quote:
! ? Either the US is in fact keeping Americans out of part of Arizona or it is not. This is either true or it is not. You may not like the way it was communicated, but it sounds like you ultimately agree that the US is keeping Americans out of some part of Arizona for whatever reason. Am I reading you right?
Your example statement, "Either the US is in fact keeping Americans out of part of Arizona or it is not," isn't a fully correct representation of the story. Because, the truthful story is more like,
"Four years ago, US urged residents to avoid a dangerous area; Border Patrol and Sheriff have stepping up surveillance; area soon to be declared safe and reopened. "
Of course, that rendering isn't going to provoke outrage or anger or audience attention, aka ratings, and so it isn't used.
Just look at the initial comments in this thread to see the danger in the way language was deliberately misused to convey something false, while appearing to be conveying something truthful.
You guys who apparently live in Nerf world want to argue grammer and syntax, and all that other stuff I've forgotten, stop. This is about a problem that DOES exsist and needs to be corrected. No media outlet caused the problem,Mexicans did. Notice I didn't say mexico. I wouldn't care if these ******** came from Mars, what is happening is wrong and it shouldn't be aloud to continue. If advocating a violent cause of action somehow offends you I suggest that you don't read this thread.
Why do you want to blame the press? Why do you try to minimize the problem? You can't compare this to anything else than what it is, no fancy words here, It's a INVASION OF YOUR COUNTRY.
No one here that I am aware of is unconcerned about the unlawful in-migration from Mexico and elsewhere. But, we can not expect our officials to make (or us voters) to make good decisions if the reporters
fail to tell us a truthful story.
The discussion with ksholder isn't about academics. It is about the way a story's presentation can and does influence the audience reaction.
In this thread there has been very strong reaction to the Fox News story, but that is because of two things: the story was misrepresented, and a sheriff who probably should know better, participated in propagating the false claim that the problem extended beyond the 5.3 square mile area.
How can anyone make sound decisions about what to do if we don't have the decently honest information about what actually has happened?

Every week, we seek out expert advice to help a small or medium-sized company overcome a key issue it is facing in its business.
When Canada's insurance companies have too much on the go, they call on Simon Bell and Chris Murumets, co-founders of Toronto-based LOGiQ3 Corp.
Most of their business is in reinsurance, taking on underwriting, auditing and other responsibilities for larger financial institutions. Mr. Bell and Mr. Murumets also spend a lot of time acting as consultants for other firms that need insurance-related advice.
But after seven years of building their business, it's now Mr. Murumets and Mr. Bell, chief executive officer and chief operating officer, respectively, who have too much on the go. They need help to figure out how to make time for a key task: long-range planning for their own company.
The pair have managed to relinquish a few of the duties they used to perform: for instance, some of the company's 23 staff have taken over meeting with potential clients.
But they're doing most of the consulting work themselves. They haven't passed that on, Mr. Murumets said, because they've built up strong reputations after years in the industry, and clients insist on talking to them directly.
And they have no human-resources staffer so they handle those responsibilities themselves. They also do some of the financial work, and occasionally help on the sales side.
They've considered hiring outside help, but Mr. Murumets said it's too costly. "It's tough to afford right now. If I could easily afford outsourcing the service, I would, but we are self-owned and capitalized, and all money is going into growing the business."
It gives them little time to think beyond the day-to-day operations and "sit back and think deep thoughts" about the company's future, Mr. Murumets added.
They know they need to find the time for long-range planning. They're just not sure how to find it.
"We're working 68-plus hours a week," Mr. Murumets said. "We don't have a lot of time to think about what we're going to do next, and that makes it hard to grow a business."
The challenge: How can Logiq3's top executives make time to plan for the company's future?
Nathan Mean, Ottawa-based director of business resources for the Canadian Federation of Independent Business It's not just a matter of setting time aside for strategy. Their other responsibilities, like dealing with HR, impinge on them. They have to consider doing what they do for others – outsource the work. Most people don't have the money to hire a (full-time) professional HR team, but they can hire a consultant. Consultants can offer advice on how to hire or fire or tell the CEO about labour board issues. Do it yourself and, all of a sudden, you've spent hours away from your principal skill set. It would have saved them huge amounts of time that they could have set aside for strategy.
It would be great if they could have at least one uninterrupted hour of thought per week. But they're not going to get that if they don't have a good foundation, if they're being sucked into other activities.
Peter Conrod, Toronto-based vice-president of client and business strategy at Royal Bank of Canada All successful business owners need to get out of their day-to-day and find time to plan in four areas: budget for the coming year; direction for the next one to three years; they need an idea of what kind of team members they'll need to execute their three-year plan; and they have to determine how much capital they'll need to execute on that plan. Think about these four things annually, then review it on a monthly basis and, quarterly, spend a few hours making sure they're headed in the right direction.
They should also do a one- or two-day retreat – it could be over a weekend. It needs to be offsite, have an agenda, include external financial or business advisers and a facilitator to stay on track. Bring key team members. At the end, give everyone a mandate.
Also, create a mentor or advisory board. There are a lot of retired business people who enjoy helping businesses grow. Meet quarterly and share business information and the owners should seek advice from the board.
Gary Mauris, founder and president of Port Coquitlam, B.C.-based Dominion Lending CentresThe first thing is you have to do is spend an exorbitant amount of time training staff and clearly outlining their expectations. If you put 400 hours into training someone, they will save you thousands of hours later.
Make sure everyone from your bookkeeper, receptionist, to the general manager are aware that they are responsible for looking for opportunities to make the cash register ring. Make certain your message is clear and consistent that "that's not my job" is outlawed from your organization. Set targets and monitor them monthly with your staff. This holds them accountable, keeps everyone in open regular communication. Explain to your key people that you want them to learn their position so that the company runs on autopilot, and everything can happen without you.
Things like this give the owners time to work on strategy, rollouts and growth. I go to the library two or three times a month during business hours to find quiet time to create and implement new strategies and initiatives. I've made this an integral part of my month.
Hire someone else to handle human resources issues. Try to do the same with other tasks, such as accounting.
Plan a retreat
Take the senior management team offsite on a one-or two-day retreat and hammer out ideas that will help grow the business.
Create an advisory board
Bring in experienced business people to help plan strategy. Meet with an advisory board quarterly to discuss new ways to grow.

A few weeks ago Iain Duncan Smith , Secretary of State for Work & Pensions, made a speech arguing that what people needed to do to get out of poverty was work more and then they wouldn't be poor or need benefits. 'If people just work a 35 hour week' he said , all would be well.
In April working couples had the rules for tax credits changed, and lost all entitlement to tax credit if they worked between them less than 24 hours per week. This change was intended to bring savings to the Treasury – although actually if people do manage to increase their hours to 24 or more they would re-qualify for some tax credit assistance – so reducing the saving to the Treasury. However despite all David Cameron's promises to 'make work pay' some people in this situation will be better off not working, and the savings to the Treasury would be reduced. For instance a a couple who work 16 hours on the minimum wage lost a net £3,120 per year in April 2012 after claiming all other possible support. But if they give up work, they will be £736 better off – £14 a week more. And they will cost the state £2,675 more.
The reality is that for many people finding those extra hours is going to be very difficult. A couple in my constituency both working for a prominent department store came to tell me about the contract changes being made by their employer. The wife had been working 9.30 to 2.30 five days a week, which fitted well with school hours. She was now being told she would have to become 'fully flexible' which could mean having a 6 hour shift one day and an evening shift the next. Or if she wasn't willing or able to do that she could have a maximum of 12 hours work a week on fixed hours.
Such so-called 'zero hours' contracts are becoming increasingly common, especially in retail.
That's the real world where even those who want to work won't find it easy just to 'work more'.
Many of the new jobs the Government talks about having been created 'since the election' have been part time. I'm all for the choice of part time work – but more and more people are reporting that they are working part time but really looking for full time work.

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Playing on three indoor courts, Tennessee's upperclassmen led the way at the top of the lineup Sunday in a 4-0 shutout over the South Carolina.
After winning a closely contested doubles point, the 14th-ranked Vols (13-6, 2-3 SEC) put their veterans out on the top three courts to start singles. They ensured the Vols kept the momentum.
Junior Hunter Reese collected his first SEC win at the No. 1 position, beating No. 80 Tsvetan Mihov 6-1, 6-1. He was off court in a hurry; not even Mikelis Libietis had finished a set on court 2 by the time Reese was finished.
"Hunter Reese was phenomenal," Tennessee head coach Sam Winterbotham said. "From the first point to the last, it was classic Hunter. He never took a point off."
Libietis and Brandon Fickey both won up-and-down first sets 7-6 on courts 2 and 3. They both pulled ahead early in the second set and maintained their leads. Libietis beat Andrew Adams 7-6 (6), 6-3 to put the Vols up 3-0.
"I thought Mikelis did a great job today," Winterbotham said. "In a tough match, he was just finding himself and competing and getting through the match. Those oftentimes are the kinds of matches that can set you on a tear. You struggle through it and find ways to win. You get confidence."
Fickey, who has been limited by shoulder and back injuries the last two seasons, recorded his first SEC singles win since his freshman year to clinch the Vols' victory. The Knoxville native beat Thiago Pinheiro 7-6 (6), 6-3 at No. 3.
"I'm proud of how Brandon has played the last few matches," Winterbotham said. "He's really playing the way he can play. He's been really helpful to the rest of the guys, for the rest of the guys to see him competing the way he is. It definitely lifts everybody up."
Junior Andrew Dromsky and freshman Markus Kerner did not even begin their matches when the Vols' victory was secured. Dromsky had started warmups when Fickey delivered the final point.
In doubles, Dromsky and Kerner lost 8-0 but Tennessee had momentum on the remaining courts. Fickey and Jarryd Chaplin won 8-4 on court 3, setting up Libietis and Reese's 8-6 win at the top of the lineup. Libietis and Reese are now 5-0 in SEC play and 25-3 overall this season.
"Today's match had two teams that really wanted to win," Winterbotham said. "Players on both sides really gave everything they had. We can build upon this performance."
The Vols have a split home and road weekend coming up. The team travels to Vanderbilt on Friday and hosts Kentucky on Sunday.

What we can learn from studying the last millennium (or so)
With all of the emphasis that is often placed on hemispheric or global mean temperature trends during the past millennium, and the context they provide for interpreting modern warming trends, one thing is often lost in the discussion: space matters as much as time. Indeed, it is likely that the regional patterns of past climate changes, rather than simple hemispheric or global mean temperature trends, will best inform our understanding of the dynamical mechanisms involved. Since much of the uncertainty in future projections relates to regional climate change impacts, it makes particular sense to focus on those changes in the past that involve regional changes and the underlying mechanisms behind them.
For instance, melting of the cryosphere (and consequent rises in sea level), subtle shifts in drought and rainfall patterns, and extreme events, are all regional effects that could be important threats to ecosystems and our environment. Such changes are often associated with phenomena like ENSO or the North Atlantic Oscillation. Yet there remain large uncertainties about how such mechanisms will respond to anthropogenic climate change.
There are a number of potential ways forward to improve our understanding. A first step is to look directly at the time-series of specific systems (like the ENSO index or the ocean temperatures in the North Atlantic) and try to extend them as far back as possible using proxy data. This gives more information on what the natural variations in these phenomena look like, and thus a better idea of how big a forced response would need to be before it could be reliably detected. Secondly, we can look to see if there is a relationship between various natural drivers of climate change (volcanic eruptions, solar variability or orbital forcing say) and any characteristics of these phenomena – amplitude, frequency or duration. Do volcanic eruptions appear to affect El Niño for instance?
For phenomena that need annual or decadal resolution data to be resolved, the last millennium or so is an obvious (and only) time period to be looking at for it is only for that period that there is sufficient paleo-data coverage of high enough temporal resolution. Other periods – such as the mid-Holocene 6000 years ago – are also useful, but the results are more long-term in nature (there is also a discussion of the value of different periods for reducing future projection uncertainty in this recent paper).
There are a number of different approaches to looking at reconstructions in recent centuries – some rely on high density regional networks (as seen in this recent paper by Guiot et al concerning European temperature trends for which they mostly used pollen data) and some rely on wider networks of more diverse proxies which aim to capture longer-range correlations to specific phenomena (such as the recent Mann et al (2009) paper).

Hi, Sneakers. This is an especially sad post to write today. Our very good friend and a great friend to the show, Mike Roberds, unexpectedly passed away late Sunday night.
Mike was a funny, kind, generous man – a wonderful friend and son and uncle and mentor – and his death leaves a big hole in so many people's lives. I hope he knows he was loved and how much Ian and I enjoyed his company, and how much we looked forward to seeing him every time we could get him on the show. Death is always sad, but our sadness means that we knew someone who was worth knowing, who cared for us and who brought joy into our lives.
The last time Mike was on the show was for my fiftieth birthday celebration and I'm so glad he made it down to visit. I was lucky enough to have him over at our house for a family and friends birthday celebration and I can honestly say that he had a great time laughing and telling stories. We had spoken about him coming on the show in June, but I guess that's not to be now.
I'm sure longtime listeners have fond memories of Mike too. He was such a great guest and really got what Ian and I do each week. Here are some links to the episodes featuring Mike. I wish we had more…
From July 14, 2012 – Episode 32 – Actor, writer and funny guy Mike Roberds joins Ian and Dave in the Sneaky Dragon studio for episode 32 of Sneaky Dragon. They are able to convince Mike that he really isn't a Christmas villain and Ian can finally indulge his desire to talk about all the old TV shows that Dave doesn't remember: Scooby-Doo Mysteries, Petticoat Junction, Columbo, All in the Family and many more lame-ass TV shows are discussed while Dave stares out the window. Mike also tells about some of his TV and film experiences including his stint as Uncle Fester on the New Addams Family and his recent appearance as Chet in Hot Tub Time Machine (a movie Dave rudely disses – some host!).
From July 13, 2013 – Episode 84 – This week on Sneaky Dragon, Ian and David are joined by actor/writer/all-round entertainer Michael Roberds. You'll have to listen to find out what happened, but it kind of went like this: video game robots; hard drug use and soft drug use; nobody can do a Welsh accent, but everybody can do an Irish one; handling your snake on Supernatural; Shakespeare is a lot of work; serial killers like the FBI too much; CSI has something to tell you; voluntary suicide; and Quincy hates punk rock!
From July 19, 2014 – Episode 137 – This week on Sneaky Dragon, Ian and David are joined by actor, writer, raconteur and all-around good guy Mike Roberds to talk about Mike's Hispanic background; Ian brings up the Chipmunks (again!) – they might be the only band he knows; Dave bemoans the disappearing novelty song (but does he even watch YouTube, you might ask); Mike likes TV movies and Dave wonders about a James Garner one (it may not have been a TV movie); Ian helps everyone by fixing the 1994 Maverick (only Ian knew it needed to be fixed); Mike's looking for a movie – if anyone has or knows where to find a version of Won Ton Ton: The Dog Who Saved Hollywood please contact Mike through Sneaky Dragon; Mike tells us his adventures working on the set of the Martin Short film Jiminy Glick in LaLaWood; Mike reveals he's from Langley (that explains a lot); Dave disses Cheech and Chong; Mike asks about comedies that disappointed us and Dave asks about comedies that we never heard of that surprised us; and finally, Ian and Mike have a quick talk about horror comedies, but it's a subject for the next time we have Mike on the show.
RIP Mike. We sure will miss you.
With all our love,
Ian and Dave

Rip up this awful column
Blog ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
An op-ed by serial health care misinformer Betsy McCaughey is, indefensibly, featured in today's New York Post:
When President Obama addresses Congress and the nation tonight, he should pledge to do three things.
First, he should announce that he will discard the 1,018-page health bill drafted in the House of Representatives and replace it with a 20-page bill in plain English. Twenty pages should be sufficient. The framers of the US Constitution established an entire federal government in 18 pages.
This is absolute nonsense.
First, as Betsy McCaughey surely knows -- though most of her readers do not -- the number of pages is wildly misleading. See, legislation is printed on pages with very wide margins. Text is double-spaced -- and lines are numbered. Here, for example, is what page 483 of the House bill looks like:
Page 483 -- a typical page -- contains only 151 words. That's about half as many words as appear on a page in a typical book. So it's more useful to think of the health care legislation as running about 500 pages. That's quite a bit shorter than a Harry Potter book. Surely it isn't unreasonable for legislation governing the nation's health care and insurance systems to run two-thirds as long as a children's book, is it?
Next: McCaughey says the bill should be written "in plain English." But legislation is written in highly precise and technical legal language for a reason: If it were written in "plain English," it would introduce more ambiguity, not less. Enforcement of laws would be more dependent upon judge's interpretation, and less dependent upon the intent of the elected representatives who wrote the law. (A prospect that would make a conservative like McCaughey twitch, if she were honest.)
Think about a "plain English" agreement between you and your daughter: If she cleans her room, she can have ice cream. Seems pretty straightforward, right? Now, think of all the complications that could arise: Who decides what qualifies as "clean"? What if she enlists the help of a friend? How soon does the room need to be cleaned? What kind of ice cream is she entitled to -- the stuff in your freezer, or the soft-serve chocolate-vanilla twist at her favorite ice cream stand, three towns over? How much ice cream? Et cetera. Those details need not be spelled out when you're dealing with your daughter -- at the end of the day, you can impose your will on the situation easily enough. It isn't so easy when you're trying to get your insurance company to cover your prostate exam.
Next: McCaughey says "20 pages should be sufficient" to revamp the nation's health insurance system. That's nothing short of crazy, as the ice cream comparison probably makes clear. Some things need to be elaborate and complicated. Next time you get on an airplane, think about whether you want the pilot's dashboard controls to be as complex as they are, or whether you'd prefer it to consist of an on/off switch, a steering wheel, and a break pedal. Think about whether you'd prefer the mechanics who service the plane to work off detailed step-by-step instructions making clear the 300 safety tests they must perform before each flight, or whether you'd be more comfortable if they were just told "Check it out."
Finally, as Betsy McCaughey surely knows, the Constitution did not establish an entire federal government in 18 pages. It laid out the basic framework for such a government. Betsy McCaughey understands the difference -- she just hopes her readers don't.
McCaughey's dishonesty and fundamentally-flawed thinking make the rest of her argument impossible to take seriously, but let's look briefly at her next demand:
Secondly, the president should announce that the purpose of his 20-page bill is to cover the truly uninsured. Period.
And do nothing for the already-insured, whose health care costs are skyrocketing? Nothing to stop health insurance companies from doing everything they can to avoid paying for necessary medical care so they can maximize profits? Nothing for people who are locked-in to their current jobs for fear that if they change jobs, they will be unable to get insurance due to "pre-existing conditions"? Nothing to force insurance companies to compete? Nothing to lower costs? Nothing to prevent insurance companies from placing caps on health care payments, which can -- and does -- result in people with top-of-the-line health insurance going bankrupt due to health costs?
Well, at least McCaughey made her perspective clear: She doesn't want to do anything to stop insurance companies from denying payment for necessary procedures. Good to know.

The Rarest and Most Valuable N64 Games
Do you have a bunch of old game sitting in your closet that you'd like to trade in for a stack of cash? Or are you on the hunt for the most desirable games for your collection? In stark contrast to the Cheapest Games series, This new series of Rare and Valuable games will round up the rarest and most valuable games for a given console or handheld so you'll know what to look for whether you are buying or selling.
Below you will see two prices beside each title. The first is the average selling price, which is typically the going rate for the cartridge by itself. The second price is the peak selling price of recent history. These are typically games that are complete with box or possibly still sealed and new.

Updated: Prices current as of 8/5/2010
The Expensive Imports
|Bakuretsu Muteki Bangaioh (Bangai-O): $65 – $90
Yes, before this cult classic shooter from Treasure blasted its way to the Dreamcast, it was actually a Japanese-only release for the N64. In addition to being one of the best games on the system, it was also limited to a print run of only 10,000. The N64 version of Bangai-O doesn't show up on eBay too often (a sign of a game that is truely rare), so its hard to get accurate values.
Previous 2007 Value: $80 -$120
Check for Bangai-O on eBay
|International Superstar Soccer 2000: $44 – $65
This PAL only release is one of the hardest to find N64 games of any region, but since its an old sports game, there isn't a huge demand for it. Every now and then you can find the carts for under $50, but they are especially hard to find complete with box. If you find a complete copy, you can expect a much higher premium from collectors.
Previous 2007 Value: $44 -$80
Check for ISS 2000 on eBay
|Tsumi to Batsu Hoshi no Keishōsha
(Sin and Punishment: Successor of the Planet) $30 – $40
Much like many import-only Treasure games like Radiant Silvergun, this game isn't especially rare in Japan, but the cult status of the game itself pushes its collectability status. Since Sin and Punishment has now been re-released on the Nintendo Wii's Virtual Console service, the value of the original cartridge has actually dropped about $30 over the last few years ($20 of which was in the first year).

Treasured USA Releases
|Clay Fighter 63 1/3 Sculptors Cut : $50 – $120
Released as a Blockbuster Video exclusive, Sculpter's Cut did not get wide distribution and is now very hard to find. It is now regarded as possibly the rarest USA N64 release you can have in your collection in complete condition. You might be able to find some cartridges of this rare release at a semi-reasonable price, but because of the Blockbuster deal, it is especially difficult to find a boxed copy.

Check for Clay Fighters Sculpter's Cut on eBay
|Mario Party 3: $50 – $110
This last N64 installment of the Party series came out near the end of the Nintendo 64's life in 2001 so did not sell as well: less than 1 million units. Two sealed copies sold in July 2010 for over $100 each. The loose copies have also risen in value quite a bit over the last 3 years and have easily topped this list of US releases.

|Bomberman 64 The Second Attack: $50 – $89
A rare sequel to a game that didn't sell very well to start with. Second Attack came out near the end of the Nintendo 64's life cycle which didn't help the sequel sell any better. Back in 2007, a boxed version of Second Attack could be scored for under $50, but a sealed copy sold on eBay for $87 in 2007. However, in July of 2010 a simple boxed copy sold for $89

|Conker's Bad Fur Day: $45 – $100
Conker is another game hurt by being released near the end of the Nintendo 64's life. Within one year of the game's release, the N64 was discontinued. The game was received very well critically and is praised for having the best graphics for a Nintendo 64 game. Conker is still a personal favorite to many fans. Because of it's exclusivity and nostolgia factor, values of this game in complete condition have jumped up quite a bit. Multiple boxed copies have sold in the $100 range.

|Starcraft 64: $40 – $168
RTSs weren't a popular genre on the N64, but the Starcraft name has made it popular along with it's low print run. It seems that the boosted interest in the franchise with the 2010 release of Starcraft II has also helped boost values — One boxed copy has exceeded $150, but it can often be found for less.

|Ogre Battle 64: $40 – $105
Atlus's is notorious for small production runs and Ogre Battle was no exception. It is also one of the only RPG's for N64 and critically acclaimed so there is quite a bit of demand for the game. Typically, you can score this game for under $50, but there was recently a sealed copy that reached the $100 point.

|Worms Armageddon: $47 – $75
Even though the Worms franchise is quite popular on the PC, the N64 version didn't get much attention when released. Years later, it is one of the hardest games to find and is still fun. Back in 2007, this port actually topped the N64 value list, but has since dropped in value considerably without much of an explanation.
Previous 2007 Value: $55 – $120

|Super Smash Bros.: $40 – $69
2.92 million units sold in the US so the game isn't rare, but is very popular. Some people might think that people would move on from the original game and focus on the newer installements, but from the rising values of the N64 cart, it seems that newer installements just fuel demand for the original. Boxed copies are especially in demand as it's a cornerstone of an N64 collection.

|Harvest Moon 64: $30 – $60
A very niche game that was not produced in large quantities, but has a bit of a cult following. One of the hardest Nintendo 64 games to find.

|Mario Party 2: $35 – $60
Even though the series has gotten a bad rap in recent years, the demand for the original N64 installements has been on the rise. While not as rare as the late release of Mario Party 3, Mario Part 2 is still quite popular as popular as even loose catridges can sell for a hefty amount.

|Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time – $25 – $200
Ocarina of Time is actually one of the biggest-selling titles on the N64, so it is in no way rare, but much like Final Fantasy VII on the PS1 list, complete copies in good condition can demand quite a premium to collectors.
Previous 2007 Value: $20 – $45

|Mario Kart 64: $28 – $78
Again, Mario Kart 64 is quite abundant, but it's such a classic and nostolgic title, it's hard for casual collectors to pass up. Loose cartridges stay strong as it's a go-to title for the platform and complete copies are near the top of collector's lists.

|Paper Mario: $27 – $60
While it doesn't have the mainstream following of a Smash Bros or Mario Kart, Paper Mario is still popular among Nintendo fans that like to dabble in RPGs. It also doesn't have quite the print run of the larger titles, so there is a bit more scarcity to put up with when tracking down a complete game in good condition. Considering these circumstanced, I'm surprised that the values haven't been pushed up more (although complete copies have just about doubled in value over the last 3 years).

|Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask – $20 – $125
While it is a Zelda game, the mainstream audience didn't enjoy Majora's Mask nearly as much as Ocarina of Time. Bare carts can be found for reasonable prices, but the fact that it is a Zelda game keeps mint boxed and sealed copies hovering around the $100 point.

|Mario Party: $25 – $50
And rounding out this top 15 list is the original Mario Party. Not quite as rare and popular as the other installements, but enough N64-lovers are fans of the series to keep this carts in heavy circulation. Box copies have been surging in value along with the other big names on the platform.

Ironic or wink/nod that you called it rare &valuable "Treasure"s…. nudge nudge 😉 .
Actually, that wasn't the original intention, but it will be a common theme in the series 🙂
heh, awesome, I am lucky that I got Conker for $15!
What in the world? rare n64 games? This is going to be in my top 5 posts this weekend for sure!
Holy hell, I think that is the first time I have ever seen the original Smash Bros box art. What happened? Did the regular artists go on vacation that week? It's terrible!
I had thought that Dezaemon 3D would make it into this list, but I guess not. Also odd to see so many games that I or friends of mine had.
You're forgetting animal forest in Japan. Radarscope, I like the original art and thought it added to the goofiness of the game in the same way the commercial did. The artwork continues into the manual as well.
Worms Armageddon is one of the rarest N64 games?! Man, I owned that when I was a kid but sold it after my old N64 got stolen in 2002. I can't believe it! I had a complete copy and everything!
sin & punishments drop in value saddens me
i found a copy of International Superstar Soccer at gamestop last year when they were clearing everything out.
it wasnt in the system, so they had it marked as .99 cents/other. it was at 85% off, plus tax, so 20 cents wasnt a bad deal for me, lol.
cartridge only but works for me.
It says that Starcraft is the only RTS on the N64. Isn't there a Command & Conquer game too?
Anyway, great article.
Wow! I can't believe it!
I have a bunch of these games with manuals!
Wow. I am glad that I bought that lot of games on craigslist!
I had no idea Conker was going for so much. I am happy I got my copy!
N64 stuff must have been very popular in Northern NY because it's easier to find that anything else up here.
Thanks for posting this!
Conker is worth quite some money no matter where you get it from not because it's rare or anything but it's such a popular game.
Conker is not worth much money at all. It's no more pricey than any new release you'd pick up at Gamestop, and it's quite common.
Sin and Punishment is pretty easily acquired too, and not at all expensive.
They ARE fantastic games though, but no real collectible value to them whatsoever
Mario Kart 64: $26 – $34? Super Mario 64: $20 – $25? I think I'd rather keep them and play them myself. Those are some classic titles that no gamer should ever part with.
hey I have 8 of those, but I don't have the two most expensive ones, you should see some of the snes game prices, earthbound and harvest moon with the box and stuff are over $150 at least.
Glad I bought Sculptor's Cut way back then for $10 used 🙂 still in pretty good condition too
I'm very disappointed that Ogre Battle 64 and Harvest Moon didn't get PAL releases. They looked like great titles back in the day.
Years ago I bought Conkers BFD in great condition new for about $15. So its good to see it reach such a high price. 😉
Just a simple FYI on the Smash Bros. comment, the new version for the Wii will not be coming out until March 2008, it has been delayed again! This was just announced, so you weren't wrong to begin with, just wrong now that the times have changed.
Take care!!
I sure hope you guys move down the console evolutionary ladder. I'd love to see ColecoVision, Commodore 64, Intellivision, and maybe even some MicroVision rarities!
Nice. I bought Worms Armageddon at Circuit City for 99 cents in 2001 or so. 🙂
ohh i have a few of those rare carts, along with a few more that i think are quite rare too mind you i live in the uk so its prob a diff state of affairs over here!
Sin and Punishment is the best N64 game.
The most underrated n64 game and the n64 game with the best music. But, the music doesn't fit the action well, not at all actually. But on it's own the music is the best. Great stuff. Get the vc version, or buy the n64 version or emulate. If you have not tried this game you are losing out
GameCube games are going to start falling into the rare category soon – Ikaruga is going for over $40, and the price for NCAA College Basketball 2K3 is ridiculous:
WTF where's WWF No Mercy? That game's insanely hard to find due to it's popularity because of it's reputation of being the best wrestling game ever, plus a game with bleeding graphics still intact is even rarer (it was removed after controversy)….i'm waiting for the n00b and "wrestling is gay comments", but still, that's just my two cents…
Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 (Import) should make this list.
Where did you get your information?
Why do some of the games that appear on the "The Rarest and Most Valuable N64 Games" list ALSO appear on the "The Cheapest Nintendo 64 Games Worth Your Time" list?
Super Mario 64
Super Mario Kart
Super Smash Bros
Those three games appear on BOTH lists. Makes the rest of the information suspect.
Shadowgate 64
I own NCAA Basketball 2K3 for GC…my jaw hit the floor when I read the price on Amazon!!!
I got Mario 64, Goldeneye and two Zelda games. Are they rare? Are they worth much? I'm thinking about 30 dollars each. maybe 100 dollars for all four.
You'd be lucky to get $10 each for Zelda or Goldeneye…
HOlY Hell i own a ton of these games i have about $200 worth in games I nearly Craped myself:)
I think the low-end prices are way off if you think a cartridge with no box can fetch those. It's with a box you get good prices.
When hubby decided to buy Mario Party 3 he had a hard time finding it at a reasonable price. Now I guess we know why. We finally found it used for $25 and its one of our least favorite mario party games to date.
I have donkey kong64 and turok dinosuar hunter. How much would those two sell for?
By the way, turok has everything it came with but donkey kong has only the cartridge.
I just looked through my collection and I found I DID have a mint condition Clay Fighter 63 1/3 Sculptors Cut!
For some reason I thought it was another title.
I am still punching myself for trading my cart only Harvest Moon N64 for a green GBC last year…
Yay! I owe starcraft! but what about Reisdent evil 2? thats an expensive game. But clayfighter sculpters cut? i see that all the time!
I'm surprised to see Clay Fighter 63 1/3 on the list… not only because I think it's a terrible game, but also because it's very common here in Brazil, where I live. Though it's not a Blockbuster release like in the US, a boxed copy with a manual usually sells for around R$30 Reals, roughly US$18 dollars.
One Gem you´ve forgotten-:
Resident Evil 2 (N64)!
Fetches by EBay UK(in Germany really rare(on the "Index"-not sold on Ebay and extremley difficcult to buy!) and i stupid Idiot SOLD IT!) about 75 POUNDS!(about 120 $!)
Rare also is Duke Nukem zero hour!
To Whom It May Concern,
Do you have the ultra rarest video game ever
manufactured ever can't get any rarer ever
of all-time ever.
Let me know either way this time don't forget.
Still sealed in original box.
I'd prefer the very first one ever manufactured
ever of all-time ever.
Do not forget to get back to me this time at all.
Answer me back this time just get back to me sooner
than humanly possible even sooner than that
can't get any sooner at all. Just send it when you
Do you accept checks because that's the only way
that I'll be paying and noother way at all.
Send me the most accurate and correct address and
exact address of where to send for this video game
if you have it exactly like I want it and noother
way at all.
If you have this video game exactly like I want and
noother way at all I'll take it reserve it for me
and only me and nobody else at all but me at all.

Some good deals on this list. Most of these games don't go for much over their initial retail value or if that.
You might want to fix that ISS2000 was released on NTSC and that is the rare one, not the PAL one.
I was lucky to pick up a ISS2000 NTSC CIB mint for $10. They are now worth $200.
i got 30 games for free 14 of them are on that list…
My friend has Worms, I should buy his. I don't have an N64, and I don'r plan to get one (most of the games I can get on other consoles, and I hate the controller), but if I see a cheap one that'll be good.
how much is doom2 is i have super smash bros i cant belieave its $30-43$
I paid 80 dollars for Bangai O recently. It was worth every penny =D
I honestly think they are under rating Paper Mario!!
i'm trying to find some answers about these two n64 controllers i own called "rock bit 64" i dont belive they were sold in stores and i was too young to remember how exactly i got them. has anyone ever heard of them?
You are missing the last game released for the 64, surprisingly it is very common on other systems. Tony Hawks Pro Skater 4, there were roughly around 400 copies produced. I have never even seen one and rarely will you find any info on it on the known web.
best N64 game ever!!! is definitly goldeneye i mean best n64 game and 1st person shoter game ever
So, I just recently bought the PAL version of ISS Soccer 2000, complete with box and manual, all of which are in good condition.
I'm wondering if this PAL release is still of substantial value since it's not the NTSC version, which to my understanding is quite possibly the most rare NTSC N64 game out there?
Can anyone run me an estimate on the Complete PAL version?
Any insight is much appreciated.
I still have Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon.
dog u should have pokemon stadium up there
ok pkemon stadium 2 or sumthing like that but i understand wat u saying golden eye is a beast game but i think pokemon stadium 2 is better then dat on sum real. Cause u cant beat pokemon stadium so u can continue to play that 4 ever and knowing yall who play golden eye beat it in a week or so but it takes days to beat 2 gym leaders and its like 20 or 30 gym leaders so u will be playing for sum s*** thats y its better than sum games thats up there
paper mario is very rare on e-bay they like 80 bucks
man, i guess that you should have Hydro Thunder over there…
well, at least i guess that is a hard game to find. 🙂
JACKPOT! i just bought a nintendo 64 console with 4 games and a controller. And all 4 games are up there. And i only paid 40 for it. Conker's Bad Fur Day, Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart 64, And Super Mario 64. And i was not gonna buy it too. Ha
there are countless ISS2000 games on ebay for nothing?… wats up with that?
"sin & punishments drop in value saddens me"
A 12 dollar version for Wii that I can experience doesn't sadden me.
Damnit! I had played Mario Party 3 before and never bought it. D:
how is legend of zelda not up there?
OoT was THE best game ever!!
i have Zelda Ocarina of Time – special edition… the golden cartridge. I thought it was really rare haha
I got Sculptor's Cut on eBay a few years ago (cart only) for a pretty low price. I'm glad I got it then and not now!
i hav wwf no mercy, 007 world is not enough, 007 goldeneye, pokemon stadium and super mario 64 in an old box upstairs that never got thrown away! All the manuals but sadly no origional boxes… can anyone tell me the value of donkey kong 64, war gods, mission impossible and wrestlemania 2000 plz. cheers
None of those games are worth much at all. You might be able to get $15 for all of them.
wow. i have all the mario partys and super mario 64. that alot of maoney.
does anyone know where to find the exact retail price of n64 games when the FIRST came out years ago, in canadian and american dollars?
Hi dudes!!, I have a copy of the famous Ogre Battle, it cost me (in Guatemala) an equivalent of US$50.00 (year 2003), I love the game, I bought with sealed box and manual, and the store had a copy wihout box, I really want the unbox's cartige but i didn't have enough money!!!!
anyway, In my coutry (Guatemala) you can find a lot of value games if you search in streets markets, electronic stores or videogames stores, BUT its very difficult you find them in very good condition, and there is a lot of risks (very difficult to came to the store, theafts, damage games), so if you will visit muy country, you can find very interesting games not so expensive, but stay alert!!!
rare n64 game = daikatana
I don't think its one that ppl really want to play though
I have a few games on this list like Mario 64 and Conker's Bad Fur Day. I have a pretty good condition cart of Sculptor's Cut too. Got it for 10 bucks at a flea market and am probably gonna sell it. How much do you guys think I can get for it?
I got 2 Worms arrmageddon games. My brother and I each got one for christmas one year. I loved it but my brother didnt. He wasnt that much of a gamer. A couple of years ago he gave me all his video game stuff. His worms was still factory sealed along with some other gems as starcraft and harvest moon both for 64 and a mint copy of final fantasy 7 for the ps1 and a gold cartrige zelda for nes in box (no paperwork though). These all made nice additions to my room of doom. Thanks Bro!
I had clayfighters the box and everything oh damn i shoulda never sold it.
I got Mario Kart 64 pretty cheap when I bought my N64 ^_^ I also have Smash Bros. I'm kicking myself for selling Mario Party.
Hey You, Pikachu! is the rarest game alive. No rapist has even come CLOSE to getting their hands on the game.
i got an N64, 15 games and 4 controlers all for 15$ at a garage sale.
hey what about magic sword
WOW I'm surprised Snowboard Kids 2 didnt make the rarity list that game is still worth money
Im still looking for a copy of turok rage wars without the glitch
I Hope HM64 Is Worth The Amount Without The Box,Etc. Since I Have 2 Copies Without The Box,Etc.
Sooooo,Mario Kart 64: $26 – $34, Mario Party 2: $25 – $33, Mario Party: $25 – $33, Dr. Mario: $24 – $50,Super Mario 64: $20 – $25 and Mario Party 3: $32 – $50 is rare huh…….? lol HOLY CRAP!
at one time i had every nintendo 64 game worth owning. But over the years, they have been misplaced or stolen or something. I had 60 something games.
and dude, the other day I took one of my extra 64's into a game store to see how much i could get for it now days, and for one offical controler, the system it's self, a copy of super mario 64, and a copy of glover. they only offered me 15$ in store credit… i was like, yeahh… no. i will never sell something this legit for 15 dollars.
why do people want to rip other people off?
its probably a better idea not to sell it anyways.
I have 007 golden Eye and printed on the front is "not for resale" and then on the back is a sticker that say it is a demo cartridge. What is up with this?
Funny that the Clay Fighters from Blockbuster (SNES version and N64 version) always seem to end up rare!
Funny that the Clay Fighters (63 1/3) were critically panned in N64 magazine(i have 1 issue with that in the review database).How are they worth so much?
I checked through the entire Rare and Valueable series and I'm surprised to find that so many games I want are rare and expensive (Yes, I actually want to play them).
Especially the Nintendo 64.
@Retro Fix: There was actually a Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 for the Nintendo 64? Proof please.
Lol i got starcraft 64 and 3 cartriges of super smash bros and i also got mario kart 64 and i had conker but i lost it and i got 3 n64 8 controllers and 40 games o.0 they all still work
WTF is wrong with you! Zelda: ocarina of time gold cart is the rarest n64 cart! good thing i have one!
Wow I do not really see the point in buying these games if ur not a hardcore collector. Most of these games can be played on computer emulators. If u feel like playing them in a legitamite way you can soon get allot of these games on the virtual console on the wii.
Yea I just bought back an N64, and it is ridiculously priced because of collectors and reselling on ebay. Honestly I have been outbidded three times by the same people who sold the console the week before. They just swap the games up and resell the same console again. For some reason if a game says Mario or Zelda, whether or not it is good, it will sell for 20 bucks at the least on ebay. Like Mario golf, horrible game, sold with system last week for $60. The systems are not worth the price they are selling for, just people jack up prices so normal college kids buying back their childhood have to pay original prices for out dated systems.
I personally loved winback; haven't seen it anywheres in a long time. It was a great single player game and multiplayer wasnt too bad either as far as the 64 goes.
What the hell is SM64 doing on there?
What amazes me is how good these games are. Games like Air Raid (2600) or Stadium Events (NES), honestly kind of suck. But they command high prices. These games don't cost quite as much as those rarities, but they are far and away much better games. Except maybe for Clay Fighters.
@ Chris
The Nintendo 64 came out around $180 or so, so this is not the original prices, however, I agree with you that they are too high in price. If it is the standard black console they sell for $20 with a controller and should be no higher.
@ Racketboy
Would you consider doing a list of the consoles for the Nintendo 64? I know of the 6 funtastics, the standard black, the 3 pokemon consoles, Daiei Hawks, Justco clear black/white, clear red/white, clear blue/white…I dont think there are any others so 14 in total or so.
I am actually hoping to do a list of rare/valuable consoles some time. Not sure on how it will be laid out just yet.
Cool! Thanks! I nearly have all of the N64 ones but many people do not know how many there are. I believe N64 has the most 😛
And there are 15 N64 consoles…I somehow forgot the gold one!
So i have a couple of these games just wondering how much they are worth.Have Starcraft Bad Fur Day Zelda and Majora's Mask no boxs tho are they still worth something?
YAY!! I have mario party3 and super mario64!!!!
Hi, Does anyone have any info on a Nintendo game Masters '98.
On the cartridge it reads Masters Augusta USA Masters '98.
company T&E soft. Also has Japanese write on back of game.
I saw this same game on Ebay for $500.00 NIB
Great list and good update. I own almost all, except, International Soccer, Bomberman 2, Mario Party 3, and Worms
Unfortunately, a lot of these games have not aged very well at all. I recently bought a small collection and was pretty disappointed with the quality of the graphics and gameplay on titles like Hybrid Heaven, Diddy Kong Racing, and Turok. The nostalgia factor is definitely there, but on the whole, definitely not the greatest retro system (and yes, I realize that games like Ocarina, SM, and Goldeneye are ultra classics and are still amazing today).
Those prices are way off.
International Superstar Soccer wasn't a PAL only release, in fact the PAL version is quite common compared to the NTSC one.
i have mariokart 64, banjo tooie, banjo kazooie, clayfighter 63 and a bunch of other games and only paid like 5$ or less when nintendo 64 came out
The thing about these games is the best ones will always hold their value, the games in that list there prove that. Although I would really love to see what all the fuss is about with CBFD! Still picked up a Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for £8 last week, mint! Lovely Jubly 🙂
i have a copy of clay fighters sculptors cut with no box or manual i was wondering what they would go for or if anyone here had one they were willing to sell
I'd just like to add that I've got all the Zelda games,as well as the original Castlevania game and the Legacy of Darkness,Banjo Kazooie,as well as other classic titles like…..
Star Wars Episode 1:Racer, 1080 Snowboarding,Super Mario 64, Goldeneye, etc.
They ALL have their own boxes (with instructions,etc.) and are in very good condition.
Although I wouldn't swap any of them for anything.
i have every one of the n64 games i cant beleive it.
@racket boy not too long ago i bought a 64 with about 5 games for 15$ I was looking through it and i have a zelda majora's mask but it was gray and says not for resale on it. I have only seen gold ones, how much do you think its worth or if its more valuable then the others.
Batman I would offer you $175 for it.
I just picked up a sweet N64 collection of 40 games at an yardsale for $20 and most of those games on the list showed up.
Believe it or believe it not !!! I have in my possession EVERY N64 Game plus all hadware that includes the 64DD incl. all software, 50% of all Japanese games and that includes multiple copies of the rare games too. The same is to be said for the Gamecube, got the lot incl. the Panasonicq with Gamegboy player. Way too much to list, can't remember alot of it myself ????
What's that lot worth ?? Anyone ???
I am still looking for a CIB copy of Stuntracer, Beast Wars and Bomberman Second Attack on ebay. If anyone here has any of these titles CIB, then put it up on ebay and open the listing to INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS!!!!
It is so hard to get these games, especially since when these games are on ebay, they are not open to international bidders 🙁
Majoras Mask Limited Adventure Set would be worth, and to see to see if any Zelda fans would be intersted in buying it
its number 589 and is in general good condition, the game box has signs of use and has big box has small tears on the cardboard hinges. im more then happy to email detailed photos
Im reluctant to put it on ebay because of the fees charged and thought it might get overlooked or missed by collectors
if anyone has advice or opinions please reply on here or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
apoligies to the mods if ive posted in the wrong forum
I actually got a loose Castlevania: LoD cart for $1 in a junk shop the other day:b
how much is excitebike 64 worth!?!?!?!!
I bought bad fur day about 6 years ago from my friend for 2$ LOL its in awesome condition,but has a stricker on it i sold it for 50$ on amazon!
found any cheats for MicroVolts? I was checking and it isn't. I found a couple sites, but the one that appeared was http://microvoltshacks.wordpress.com, have you had any experience using these? anyone know if really work or fake just ? I'm considering giving in and testing them provide a free demo, think I should?
I actually have the two Zelda titles up there along with MarioKart 64 and DonkeyKong 64. The funny thing is when I was younger back when the N64 was popular I actually caught my mom playing Mario Kart 64 late at night. I actually played with her too after I caught her. It was funny because my mom isn't a gamer. I mean yes she play the Atari 2600 back when she was young and we still have my mom's old Atari 2600. We actually have SwordQuest: Earthworld.
i bought my conker right when it came out and i still have it………awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a gray cart of ocarina of time which has manual or box, and same with dk64 an Mario party, what do you think individual prices would be on these? Oh and Mario party is missing most of the paper on the front
I meant to say no manual or box on any of those
How much would a copy of zelda OOT go for with just the instruction Manuel?
The only games I got on this list is conker's bad fur day & Zelda ocarina of time.
so glad i bought the clay fighters sculptors edition at blockbuster for 2.99 in the bargain bin haha BELLY LAUNCHER.
Mario Party 3? I got that for only $12 at my local game store.
Banjo and Tooie made the list, but not Banjo and Kazooie? Wut??
So glad I've kept all of my N64 games and they all still work perfectly because I have 8 of these XD
Mario Party, Mario Party 2, Mario Party 3, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Mario Kart 64, Donkey Kong 64, Super Mario 64 and Snowboard Kids
Everybody If U Want To See A Real Collection See My Most Reacent Video
I have come across a brand new copy of Goldeneye 007 for the Nintendo 64. It was packaged in a transparent plastic hard shell that not only has the million sellers game on the top of the package, but also has the official Nintendo Power strategy guide; a combo package, if you will. I have searched the internet and cannot find any other match that has been packaged in this way. I was hoping you could help shed light on its rarity and value. Thanks
I have plenty of 64 games but every where I look they say some thing else, I was wondering how much the banjo and kazooie game go for, the same as pokemon stadium number one
Ok So someone said Resident Evil 2 is rare…well In Australia it was only released for rental in Blockbuster so if that doesn't say something I don't know what will.
Plus Someone said Snowboard kids 2 is rare…and a guy I know sold a copy for $130Au so what does that say to you?
I have 4 of those games!
After cleaning out my closet at my parents house and finding some old systems, I've started getting into playing old video games. Sadly most of my N64 stuff was lost or misplaced so I'm pretty much starting from scratch. Luckily some good things can still be found at Goodwill. I just stopped by today to kill some time and I saw 15 N64 games sitting loose on some shelves for $3 a piece. Some of those games were the games in this list like Mario party 2 & 3, Star Craft, Banjo-Tooie, Mario Cart, Conker and Donkey Kong. Got all these games plus a few more for $45, not bad I'd say.
i have super smash bros boxed
I bought a Nintendo 64 with 10 games: Fifa 98, Star Fox, Smash bros, Mario Tennis, WWC Nitro, Mario Kart, Zelda Ocarina, Tony Hawk, Perfect Dark and Mario Kart another just for $ 38, F*ck yea!
snowboardkids 2 – pal version. AUS release only. i finally got it after 3 years 🙂
ADD Zelda Majora's Mask "Not for Resale." Just sold on Ebay for $735.50 on July 17, 2012. Auction number is 261067434917. It was just the game and in good shape. The cart is a grey versus the gold commercial one. The "Not for Resale" label is under the games name.
except for ogre battle, these aren't all to rare AND good. Body Harvest is missing! The first 3D grand theft auto before gta1 even came out and before rockstar moved to playstation. Being able to mount many weapons on over 60 vehicles and fight shit across 5 full cities was never matched in the n64 days. It is one game I won't lego of to easy! Also Rush 2049, not as rare, but still one of the n64 kings
Awesome, article and awesome website! I just found Bomberman The Second Attack for 25 Cents at a garage sale CIB in perfect shape. Guy had 27 N64 games CIB for 25 cents each. Also snagged Zelda Collectors edition for same price.
International Soccer 2000 is super cheep where i live. Sweden, i can easily get one for about 10 dollars complete in box.
lol… i game my N64, dreamcast, and gamecube away to relatives years ago and i had all the sonic games, all the mario games, all the zelda games. son of a ***** lol
International Soccer 2000 is not rare @ all, especially the PAL version…I've seen sealed copies in my local game shop….the game was popular but really undesirable now. What about Superman and chameleon twist 1 or 2 factory sealed in PAL? :cuddle
Sell your rare games and buy rifles before the government bans them!!!!!!!!!!
I bought a box of video games at a yard sale last year for $10. It had an n64, sega genesis and multiple games for each. Conker's Big Fur Day was in it. I played it and thought it was the stupidest game in the world, now i see it's worth a lot of money. Sweet!
I not read all post but in list missing PAL version of Fighting Force 64 PAL version – is very rare, NTSC version is not rare, i have PAL and i buy only one piece who was for sale, but it exist cca 5-7 N64 titles that is even more rare than FF64. Of course, i have both N64 Zelda, both Castlevania and many more. But i need to talk one thing – DO NOT LISTEN TO PEOPLE WHO ONLY CRITICIZE THIS GAMES !!! Before i play it, i see AVGN review and review of many people that imitating Nerd(like JonTron – sorry man but your review angry me…) who have mounth full of f**k and other words but not give any reliable informations – but that is words of people who not understand to this two games. I like AVGN, but i not like if throw shit on games that is not as bad, yes i understand that Castlevania 64 is not for all people but is not bad is good game ! By the way on youtube is video from "Nerd musician" Mike Matei who thanking in James name to one of more users that create video that disproved fake infos from James(Nerd) Castlevania 64 review.
Castlevania 64 is very good game only with few trubles with camera and Castlevania Legacy of Darkness is amazing game ! And is not the same game only without bugs – its similary but it have many diferences.
I looking for reviewer that give good information about this game(s) and IMHO this one is best:
And what is your opinion both Castlevania games for Nintendo 64 ?
Bye, and support N64 !
i got conker for 4$ at a pawn shop
I wish..cheapest I've found conkers is $150
Does anyone know what is the value of a gold cartridge N64 game called the Golden Nugget. Just curious. Thanks
I got 4 factory sealed nintendo 64 games. Europe Version.
Turok 3
Vigilante8 2nd offence
shadow man
any know the value?
What about Turok Rage Wars Grey version you get when you sent your original copy back to the company due to having a glitch on co-op play. This game goes for the least of $100 on ebay.
Bassmasters(grey) rarest of any 64 cart!!! Aidyn Chronicals(gray) probably second.
I won conkers on ebay for $110 cib can't complain but fuck me its expensive for a game 10 years old
Gamer for life.
your kidding right??
Conker a Pal version doesnt go for any less than $200 and thats just a cartridge.Theres Currently a bid boxed for $255.Cheap hey.
Donkey Kong Country on 64 and snes is getting up there now,I was lucky enough to win a boxed copy for $96,thats the cheapest i seen.
Kirby crystal shards is by far the most sort after game on 64 i have seen boxed.A copy went for $755 a few weeks ago.
What about the Gauntlet Legends with the special mini pewter warrior figure? That usually sells for big money as a complete CIB with the little statue. I own the set minus the peter figure (unfortunately) and could probably get $50+ Great list thought!
I have a a super smash bros game for sell for 60 dollars in fair condition. Live in oakcliff area in dallas if intrested contact at my email email@example.com!
Just picked up Paper Mario for 3 bucks at a local shop. Clearly the guy didn't know what it was worth
Sweet! I found the bomberman game above at a flea market for $15 about a month ago.
My Boxed copy of Conkers BFD still have the $19.99 price sticker on from Kmart when wI got it bnew for xmas haha.
Also a boxed copy of Snowboard Kids 2, the PAL version was only released in Australia, one sold for over $1000 on ebay a few months ago..
N64 games are getting real hard to find now, unless you want ot pay decent money. It seems everyone that has them now knows what they are worth.
I'm going to add a import N64 game that will BLOW YOUR MIND.
"Wonder Project J2"
Mind you this is a sexual to the SNES game of the same name minus the 2 that also never saw a US/PAL release. BUT both have revived a fan translation that can be DLd and payed on either a emulator boo or a rom cart on original hardware yeah!
The N64 is the superior game and it will quit simply make your jaw drop with its beauty. You Cana slo buy the N64 game complete in box for around $35 plus shipping. If you plan to put the game in a flash cart you may want to buy a complete game so you can save it as you play with its custom memory cart. Similar how Animale Crossing for the N64 and GameCube had its own customer memory cart.
Ugh auto txt. Not sexual. Sequel. Lol
Wow, I have lot of those games.

Brookfield Asset Management has hung a possible price tag on its proposed takeover of TerraForm Power Inc., at $13 per share, a penny under Thursday's market closing price.
The overture from Brookfield and its deal ally, the hedge fund Appaloosa Management, spurred a slight uptick in trading in TerraForm Power, a publicly traded "yieldco" that owns renewable energy assets, which gained about 3% in the hours after the Friday announcement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Brookfield has been openly pursuing TerraForm Power since June. In a letteremailed Thursday to the independent directors of TerraForm Power, Brookfield urged swift action to stay ahead of bondholders, and, potentially, bankruptcy.
By Dec. 6, bondholders could be in position to push TerraForm Power into bankruptcy, Brookfield wrote. That is due largely to a running event of default on debt related to the company's failure to file audited financial statements.
A lawyer for bondholders couldn't immediately be reached Friday to discuss Brookfield's statements. TerraForm Power didn't immediately respond to a request to comment.
TerraForm Power is open to deal talks thanks largely to the bankruptcy of the company that launched it, solar power developer SunEdison Inc.
Swamped with debt, SunEdison is to blame for TerraForm Power's inability to file audited financial statements for 2015, TerraForm Power contends. SunEdison is selling assets to pay creditors owed billions of dollars, and its stakes in TerraForm Power and TerraForm Global, Inc., a similar company, are believed to be SunEdison's most valuable assets.
The yieldcos aren't in bankruptcy, but could be headed toward it, unless they file the missing audited financial reports.
For months, bondholders have agreed to give TerraForm Power more time to come up with the audited numbers, but each time they have exacted a price. By Dec. 6, Brookfield said, bondholders may have had enough.
One of TerraForm Power's largest shareholders, Brookfield fears "bondholders will not agree to the requested waivers, and therefore, the TerraForm companies face the potential for a default of the bonds which could necessitate bankruptcy protection," the letter said.
Bankruptcy is bad news for shareholders, who usually lose all in chapter 11.
Even if they agree to give the company more time, Brookfield said, bondholders will demand concessions that could crimp TerraForm Power's access to the capital markets, pushing the company into a corner.
Brookfield's letter was also directed to the board of TerraForm Global, a smaller company that was caught up in SunEdison's troubles along with TerraForm Power. Owner of power projects in Brazil, India, China and emerging markets, TerraForm Global's stock has suffered more than TerraForm Power this year. TerraForm Global could be included in a deal, Brookfield said.
Hedge fund D.E. Shaw & Co. has also gone public with its interest in TerraForm Power, and, like Brookfield, has said it is open to various forms of deals.
TerraForm Power owns wind and solar power projects in the U.S., U.K., Canada and Chile.
Lawyers for SunEdison's creditors didn't immediately respond to a request to discuss Brookfield's offer. Thursday, at a court hearing, Matthew Barr, lawyer for the official SunEdison committee of unsecured creditors, said creditors are anxious for answers about what's to become of SunEdison's stakes in the TerraForm companies.
The links between SunEdison and the TerraForm companies are more than just stock ownership. They shared accounting systems, a factor the TerraForm companies say is to blame for their inability to produce audited financial statements.
SunEdison is also the "sponsor" of the TerraForm businesses, a position that means it is the party on certain crucial power plant contracts.
Both Brookfield and D.E. Shaw have discussed stepping into SunEdison's shoes, taking over management of TerraForm Power. At Thursday's hearing in Manhattan bankruptcy court, Mr. Barr, lawyer for SunEdison's creditors, said an acquirer that pushed SunEdison out the door would be expected to pay for the privilege.
In its letter to the company's board, Brookfield said it could buy all TerraForm Power shares for cash, or buy 50% to 60% of the company and take on a long-term sponsorship role.

Site: Iowa City, Iowa (Grant Field)
Event: ACC/Big Ten Challenge
Score: #18 Wake Forest 2, #9 Michigan 1
Records: U-M (1-3), WFU (2-1)
Next U-M Match: Saturday, Sept. 14 -- vs. Louisville (Phyllis Ocker Field), 1 p.m.
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Despite posting advantages in both shots and penalty corners, the No. 9-ranked University of Michigan field hockey team fell to No. 18 Wake Forest, 2-1, in its final game of the annual ACC/Big Ten Challenge on Sunday afternoon (Sept. 8) at Iowa's Grant Field.
The Demon Deacons broke a deadlocked score with 11:30 remaining in the second half, taking advantage of a pass play deep in the Wolverine circle, as Kari Walkley chipped in the game-winner in front of the cage. After Michigan called a timeout in response, the Wolverines pressured offensively with three corners in the next seven minutes but could not convert as time expired.
The teams traded goals midway through the first half. Despite significant early pressure from the Wolverines, it was Wake Forest who opened scoring, at the 19:55 mark, off its first corner opportunity of the contest. Jess Newak netted the goal, redirecting the shot from Anna Kozniuk.
Michigan responded quickly, however, as sophomore Jaime Dean (Marathon, N.Y./Whitney Point HS) posted her first goal of the season -- second of her career -- on a rebound at 21:12.
U-M outshot the Demon Deacons, 13-9, and outcornered them, 7-5. Fifth-year senior goalkeeper Haley Jones (Ann Arbor, Mich./Pioneer HS) earned four saves in the Wolverine cage, while Wake Forest goalie Valerie Dahman stopped three of U-M's four shots on goal.
The Wolverines will kick off the home portion of their 2013 schedule next weekend, hosting Louisville on Saturday (Sept. 14) and UC Davis on Sunday (Sept. 15). Both contests are scheduled for 1 p.m. starts at Phyllis Ocker Field.

A worsening global economic outlook is driving stocks and commodity prices lower.
