I received my first console in 1977 and my last in 2010 and of all the Nintendo 64 was my favorite. It didn't have the vast library the Ps1 had but it did have outstanding games like Super Mario 64, Mario kart 64, Zelda Ocarina of Time, Majoras Mask, Goldeneye 007, Banjo Kazooie and others that could only be played on the N64 plus it had 4 person multiplayer built in. It was an incredible console for its time. Even its cartridge limitations were overcome when they were able to fit all of Resident Evil 2 on a single cartridge. Though I have little time now to devote to gaming I do sometimes get nostalgic and pop in SM64, Goldeneye or some other N64 game and relive those great experiences.  My N64 happens to be the only pre 2000 console I kept. The rest I sold off or tossed. I hate to think how gaming would have turned out without its contribution.
