philcollins Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 anyone remember this/? it was the best games mag ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patch Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Yes. Yes I do. Some of the oldies on here may remember Super Play - the SNES mag by the same people. Nothing beats Your Sinclair (It's Crap!) though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekunando Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 N64 Magazine was great! Quite funny at times and, without having the internet in those days, it gave me the news I needed each month and it was almost something to get excited about. Happier times..

welsh_gamer Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 N64 magazine was awesome. My first issue was the one with part one of their Ocarina of Time review. Thanks to them, I purchased this beauty which I had never heard of before and fell in love with the series. without having the internet in those days, it gave me the news I needed each month and it was almost something to get excited about. Happier times.. Not having the net, I got my daily gaming news from Teletext, but no images obvioulsy, so it was a very 'wow' moment seeing new screenshot's or consoles in the magazine. E3 editions were the best! I remember once making my mum travel miles and miles to find a copy of the magazine, as my local stores didnt have any copies!

nekunando Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I used Teletext aswell.. (still do ..well, Gamecentral anyway) but seeing the screenshots in the magazine was the highlight of the month : peace: E3 was definitely the best time.. but then so was the month that N64 turned into NGC and that orange video came with it with footage of early GC games (including videos of Raven Blade and Kameo)..

welsh_gamer Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Oh ye! I remember that orange video now. I used to make friends watch it just so they could see how fantastic that Smash Brothers FMV sequence was. How embarrasing lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-project Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Oh yes! I've actually still got my full collection of N64 Mag, right up to it turning into NGC, all in great condition. I've also still got my prized, bound, full collection of Super Play magazines too, including the one-off special Gold issue! I was a huge fan of that mag. Still got the video somewhere too. I really ought to eBay them. I wonder if they're worth anything....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roostophe Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 N64 Magazine was probably the best N64 mag, and I was delighted that it carried on as NGC. Because it was practically the same mag, it had the same humour/staff members and what have you. Although, I've not bought NGamer in well over a year.

Jimbob Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I remember this mag and its successor in NGC magazine. Although, i have not purchased NGamer. N64 mag was brilliant, all the great features, humour, that Worldy Bloke thing. All was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 N64 was awesome, still got most of the issues in the cupboard behind me! It started to go a bit crap towards the end of the NGC days though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice9 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I still remember their description of Power Rangers 64: "Constipated puppet men jerking their way around lego built cities" What was the 'doctor' called who did the help? He always used to do something random before answering questions.. Oh ye! I remember that orange video now. I used to make friends watch it just so they could see how fantastic that Smash Brothers FMV sequence was. How embarrasing lol I still have mine!

Helmsly Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 N64 magazine was so great, I still have all the issues (I think I have all but one). Does anyone remember when they had a feature on how to make 'Nintendo food'? Peppermint Boo's and Muffins with a marzipan star inside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentleben Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Ha! I'd hardly call N64 Magazine "Retro" while I did purchase a few copies. Then for me Retro Magazines will always be stuff like: Crash and Zapp! -That's retro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Which mag gave away the Nintendo Top Trumps? They were legendary. That was N64 mag. Where Gex was basically the "joker" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmsly Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 N64 mag also gave away these stands for storing N64 games that was a pretty decent thing to give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haver Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 My first was the Turok 2 cover. 18 I think. I used to treasure my bog-time with N64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Which mag gave away the Nintendo Top Trumps? They were legendary. The Official Nintendo Mag gave away Nintendo themed playing cards as well as Top Trump ones if I'm not mistaken. I have Top Trump Nintendo cards and I'm certain I didn't get them with N64 or NGC.

I have Top Trump Nintendo cards and I'm certain I didn't get them with N64 or NGC. N64 had Top Trumps. I remember Gex (who N64 hate) and Wordly Bloke ones. I started N64 at issue 24 - OoT review (2nd Part) and the announcement of 4 new Mario games (SM64 2, Super Mario RPG 2, Mario Party and Smash Bros). To think that one of those was only released a few months ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
