Review: Nintendo 64


Way, way back in 1996, Nintendo put out a state-of-the-art entertainment system, a 64-bit graphic system called Nintendo 64. It was revolutionary, and premiered with a few games, such as Mario 64.

Today, such a system seems like a dinosaur. The jaunty moves, poor graphics, the lack of many colors, and the mono sound causes one to laugh at how high tech the game system...wasn't. In the midst of the laughter, though, I can't help but love the system for it's lack of sophisticated technology. It's a fun system, and it's very easy to understand. So many games today are so complicated, it's impossible to follow them.

The only problem I have with this system is the reliability of it. It's 11 years old, so I understand that it won't be working exactly like it did when it first came out. I have to turn the system on and off again and again when I want to play it, and it gets really irritating after a while.

Otherwise, a great system, and fun to reminisce with :)
