azy Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Hi, There is an N64 going with 9 games, 2 controllers, apparently in immaculate condition with all games boxed with instructions and the offer is £40. I used to have one in the '90's but I sold it and I'm slightly tempted to buy one again. Do you think it's worth it? The only notable games are: Goldeneye (I had before), Lylat Wars (I had before) and Banjo Kazooie (which I never played). The rest of the games are of little interest to me (I think Pilotwings 64 and Blast Corps were mentioned as well as Top gear and some sport games). The original offer was £40 and I said I'd be willing to pay £35, they said they would think about it then get back to me. Is £35 a good price? Too high? Too low?

Retro_Link Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Sounds like a good deal to me; especially if it is in great condition and with 2 controllers! Goldeneye, Lylat Wars, Banjo Kazooie, Blast Corp and Pilotwings are all great games, and you're getting 4 others aswell! Go for it!! (Though you could wait a year and download all the N64 games on the Rev!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azy Posted November 20, 2005 Author Share Posted November 20, 2005 I just had a call and they said they won't go less than £40 (they were initially going to put an ad for £50 so they say they can't back down from £40, they even said they'd deliver it to my doorstep). I decided not to buy it. It probably is a good deal but I'm a bit skint. Oh well, I'll wait for the Rev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
system_error Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 I would say you missed a great deal. The Revolution launches in a year or less and I guess a N64 game will cost about 5-10€ and actually you would have saved some money with that offer.

Kav Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 I'd say £35 is worth it for Goldeneye alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Android18a Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Sounds like a good deal to me. I paid £309.98 for my N64 with Mario 64 on launch day, so £35 with games seems pretty bargainerific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azy Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 I saw another ad in the local paper this time for N64 with 12 games and accessories for £40. I rang the guy and asked if he'd go below £40 and he said £35, I said I have £30 on me right now and I'd come and collect and he said ok. So I bought the following for £30: N64 console & leads 1 controller 1 expansion pack 1 rumble pack 1 memory pack (I think its a memory pack as it fits in the controller and has 5 LED's (1 green, 4 red) on it with Gamester written on it) Mario Kart 64 Perfect Dark Resident Evil 2 Zelda: Majora's Mask Shadows Of the Empire Super Mario 64 Rush 2049 Ready 2 Rumble Blast Corps Rayman 2 Top Gear Overdrive Rocket on Wheels All games boxed with instructions except 4 of them. Before I bought it I asked him to test it to see if it works and he tried it and i had a go to see if it was ok and it was. Now I am testing it on my own tv (10 yr old Goodmans) but have lost the instrustion manual for the tv and can't get it tuned in with the N64. I already had an RGB Scart which I used with a GCN (before I sold it) and it won't work with it as well as the default ariel that came with it. Oh well, at least I got a good deal.

AshMat Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 You got yourself a good deal there mate, and you'll love Banjo Kazooie, if anything it's gotta be the best game ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jav_NE Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I would never sell my N64!!! Not for that! Cant believe you got one that cheap, that makes me sick. Id try and get some one whose dying to get it and make them pay loads before i even considered letting go of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azy Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 You got yourself a good deal there mate, and you'll love Banjo Kazooie, if anything it's gotta be the best game ever made. I haven't got Banjo Kazzoie, I might get it if I see it for a bargain price. I would never sell my N64!!! Not for that! Cant believe you got one that cheap, that makes me sick. Id try and get some one whose dying to get it and make them pay loads before i even considered letting go of mine. Haha. I paid a crispy £20 note and a not so crispy £10 note for this bargain. I was thinking that if for any reason i want to sell I could put it on ebay, though that won't be anytime soon. I only need 2 titles now for gaming bliss, Goldeneye 007, and Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness. I have it set up nicely with all the boxes laid next to the N64 but I still haven't got it tuned into my tv yet Anyone have an N64 tuned into a Goodman's GTV51N1 model TV by any chance? i tried the auto tune but got nothing.

The fish Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Its a great deal(i wish i had it), and some of those games may not be able to download on the revolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowV7 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Great deal you got there,I could never sell any of my consoles.I sold my SNES and man I wish I never did,got a new one now though :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azy Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 I got my tv problem solved. I had the RGB scart plugged in the tv all the time which was causing a blank screen, once I took it out and used the default lead it worked ok. It appears that PAL N64's can't output RGB (NTSC N64's can after an internal modification to the motherboard). Anyway, it's working now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The3rdChildren Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Am I the only person here who thinks Goldeneye has aged terribly? Fond memories aside, it's really quite a trial to play nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 That's a huge bargain Azy, I sold Majora's Mask alone for £30 a couple of years ago. People who sell in the papers never know what they're doing, someone sold me loads of NES games for about £20, I only bought them to sell them and got £16 for one game alone. The papers are great for money making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Social Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 funny how an N64 can be sold at a much higher price then a gamecube. Can't sell those for anything lol. Maybe 15 pounds if u include 100 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stefkov Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 ive seen a sop selling a snes for £12 and an n64 for £15, is it worth getting. i think the games only come to about £8 aswell i didnt really check, they had OOT and mario 64, i saw the boxes and they looke new. i wonder if i should get them? i mean not to change thesubject but i will be able to download all(most) of the games on the rev.

Hero-of-Time Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Am I the only person here who thinks Goldeneye has aged terribly? Fond memories aside, it's really quite a trial to play nowadays. I couldnt agree more. The graphics are blurry and the control system is pretty bad compared to the FPS games now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azy Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 Guys, I don't mean to blow my own trumpet, but I went to Game Station and picked up the following games for a tenner: Goldeneye (wanted) Lylat Wars (wanted) Lamborghini Challenge (not bothered) Fifa 64 (didn't want) WWF 2000 (didn't want) Operation Winback (not bothered) They came as part of a package - none came with box or instructions but I am content with the purchase - just tested them all and they work perfectly. What a weekend. I now have 18 games with the N64 and accessories - not bad for a total of £40. I have to agree, people that sell in papers could make much more money - but still I suppose it beats selling to a second hand shop. As for Goldeneye, I remember playing it and getting a bit tired of it when I had an N64 in the 90's but it still is a very playable game if you haven't played it in a long time - I tried the emulated version on the PC and there are a few bugs in it (black sky or if blue sky then it moves weirdly), it's much better on the real thing (though the graphics are blurrier than a PC but it's the playability that counts).
