I remember after my dentist visit when I was a kid, my dentist used to have a toy box full of cheap dollar store toys and some of these planes. I used to grab one or two of these after each dentist visit...

Happy 20th anniversary to the N64!

It launched on September 29th, 1996 in North America

I remember being amazed and blown away the first time I saw Mario 64. My brother and I rented a console with Mario and Pilotwings 64 from a Rogers Video store. I didn't sleep because it was such a blast to play these games with a whole new perspective on gaming.

The day we rented it was also the first time I ever had Poutine. It was from Burger King. It looked like vomit covered organ meats and I was scared to eat it but the first bite turned that around for life. So, yes I've been eating Poutine for 20 years, too.

I don't think I ever have (or will) experience happiness on that level again.

I was in grade 4 at the time, my parents had convinced me they couldn't afford to get it for me for xmas so I was pretty much content with that idea and had accepted it.

Xmas morning came and I opened a yellow controller before the console. Parents said it was for when we rented the console etc. I had a feeling but still wasn't convinced until I unwrapped the console. Can still remember it like it was yesterday and still to this day the best xmas ever

A life changing experience for me as well. The polygon graphics were mind blowing. And then comes.........................GOLDENEYE. The begin of the end of sleep for many years for me. Easily the most seat time I've ever had on a game. Completed cartridge with all the perks in the end.

Mario 64 was amazing as a kid. It was especially awesome because without the internet I literally knew nothing about the game so when I first turned it on I was blown away.

Mario Kart 64, WCW/NWO Revenge, and the THQ WWF games that followed that got the bulk of the hours on me and my friends N64.

TouringTeg 09-30-2016 07:54 PM

Oh man. My friend got the N64 and we all played so much Golden Eye and Mario Kart 64 (4 player) Lots of hours spent! I borrowed the system with Mario 64 and played through it non stop to collect all 100 red coins and get all the stars. Epic game

Kids Street was fantastic! I just wanted all dem toys

quasi 09-30-2016 08:32 PM

Golden Eye so much fun......no Oddjob fuckers.

vixroar 09-30-2016 09:33 PM

I had a similar experience like that. My aunt & uncle didn't have kids, so they treated me like their own. They'd always take me out for dinner, movies, vacations etc. I kept asking my parents for an N64 but they said it was too expensive, so I just settled on the fact that I wasn't going to get it.

We had a Christmas dinner at our place and my aunt/uncle show up with this massive wrapped up box. I'm thinking it's some sort of awesome action figure toy set, so I was pretty damn happy (boys love their action figures, yo). We finish dinner and we all go to the tree to unwrap the presents and I'll always remember the amount of shock, excitement, and happiness that was had when I opened it to reveal this:

wow reading this story made me feel super old expect I had the same experience but with the original Nintendo..

It was xmas morning of 91-92 I think it was and my parents and sister and I were opening up gifts. I was so happy because my aunt mailed me some upper deck hockey cards and I got two Eric Lindros team Canada cards in a single pack. Gifts were done and there was one untagged box left under the tree. My parents told me to open it (I remember them saying its probably a toaster haha) well I opened it and saw it was Nintendo and I straight up went crazy. I think the surprise made it the best part and I so can't wait to have kids so I can do the same thing

I had a similar experience with the NES, but because I was super young at the time, I didn't have that same appreciation you all had for yours. Also because my aunts and uncles knew my mom despises video games, they all said it was just something they wanted to keep at grandparents' house (at the time only my dad had married and moved out). I was always over at the grandparents' because parents were working, so essentially I was playing on it once I was out of class.

And then one year during another Christmas, I opened up a second console... Sega genesis. Oh man, that Sonic was my best friend for many years. They even bought the full menacer set for it! A lot of people won't know or remember what that is heh. And then came nba '94 and nba jam!
