I actually recently gave my N64 back to my parents. Luckily, places with used games tend to have very low prices on stuff like this. The one thing that I'll suggest is to look into replacement controllers if they can be had for a reasonable price. The joystick tends to wear out and loses a lot of sensitivity. Doesn't detect the first 10 degrees of movement so you can't reach the last 10 degrees. Makes it hard to spin around quickly when Xenia Onatopp is behind you with a grenade launcher. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
