I just talked to a 13 year old kid who didn't know what the N64 was. I loved my N64! And it doesn't feel like it's that old...
Wow I feel old
yeah, so I talk to kids who don't know who MC Hammer was or Urkel, it's weird, kids born in the 90s can buy cigarettes now, that makes me really old (born in '82)
I don't know man, I think a 13 year old who doesn't know what an N64 is is probably pretty out of touch. Don't beat yourself up too bad.
"I don't know man, I think a 13 year old who doesn't know what an N64 is is probably pretty out of touch. Don't beat yourself up too bad."Exactly. Probably raised by Amish people, or wolves :)
My first gaming experiences game from the C64 and the Atari Consoles then onto the Amiga 500 and Apple II systems and on it goes through-out time till now with the PS3 . I still don't have grey hair just less of it lol

A dye job looks better than a rug :)
I'm 17 and the N64 is what really got me into gaming. It's still in my room ( I'm playing No Mercy). Along with the family's SNES(Killer Instict) and NES. The NES is broken I tried fixing the pin connecter but it is really fucked up. I would be playing the first Metroid right now.... :(
"I played Pong in the 70's and I'm 44. I don't feel old at all, because the games are always new... maybe with a twist."See? Just look at Claude and you won't feel old anymore. :)
Seriously though; you're basing your feeling of oldness on a talk with a 13-year-old?
Whippersnappers, the lot of you! GET OFF MY LAWN!
Belly-aching about something as recent as a 5th generation console makes me feel old. I had a Pong system as a child, my best friend at the time had a Magnavox Odyssey. In junior high, my friends and I played Mattel Electronic Football. I remember a Street Fighter that was just Ken and Ryu.
I think it's okay to feel old because with age comes wisdom, an appreciation for how far we've come, and the type of perspective that comes with a life lived.
"Yeah I`m 17 and renting a N64 game every friday brings back some of my best memories."
I remember renting an N64 from blockbuster when Toys R Us didn't have enough to fill my preorder. Good times.
"Mine is sadly stored away in the shed, has been for over 6 years. :("Yeah ditto. =(
I had some great times with the N64. Me and my dad used to play International Superstar Soccer on it all the time (although trying to play it now is difficult to say the least...). The N64 was also the first time I played a Resident Evil game(RE2), some great moments!
Of course, who can forget Zelda!
