I enjoy playing the 64 with the everdrive.  It's a great break from the normal system, and one I grew up with, however I find myself enjoying other systems of the era more.  The N64 controller also just down right kills me from time to time.

it all comes down to the kind of games you care the most and your acquisition power. Back in the day you had to pick one system. Most of us didn't pick the N64, some of those who did, got rid of it and got the PSX.

If there's something I disliked about the N64 back then, was the controllers, especially after being spoiled with the PSX ones.

^Agreed,  I also enjoy games that are fun!  the N64 had none... :(

:P

:(

Which ones did you play? I'm guessing you did not like Mario 64.

Anyone that didn't like the N64 is retarded.  :)  Just kidding.  I loved the system, I remember pre-ordering mine, and waiting in line to get it on launch day.  Now, with the EverDrive, I enjoy it even MORE!

I have to say that my favorite racing game of all time was Beetle Adventure Racing.  I loved that game and played it for hours and hours - for a racing game, it did everything right.

I stand corrected.  Mario 64 is fantastic.  The N64 is actually a really great system and has all sorts of terrific games with a wide variety of titles that anyone should enjoy!  :)

I really do like the N64.

I liked it becuase of the 3d graphics and gameplay of Mario64.  After that newness wore off i found i did not like the system whatsoever.

If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that the controller sucks.

I was on the fence about it, but now I feel that they could have done way better.

I disagree.

At least for the games it was designed for. Between the N64, the Saturn UFO pad and the Playstation analog (and later dual shock), I like the analog stick on the N64 most and I think it's the best 3D controller of the era. Yes, doing anything with that d-pad is impossible, but very few games utilized it.

Just because it did some things right doesn't mean it's a good controller. The failure rate of N64 controllers is unmatched. I N64 is the only first-party controller for any console that I've purchased new, used gently, and had fail on me. Good precision + uncomfortable stick + horrific product life = shitty controller. Sorry.

Comparing it to other shitty controllers doesn't cut any ice either.

I would say the stick is the worst part. They wear down after a while. Eventually, the sticks will get to the point that your character moves not as fast.

They are very easy to replace, but definitely not my favorite.

I would say the controller is quite comfortable after you get past the intimidation factor of the three prongs, lol. But the L button is practically unreachable. So in Doom 64, I have to move my hand to the L button for strafing, quite akward :(

Turok's controls are great though. Aim with stick, move (and strafe) with C buttons. Perfect. I hope they are in Goldeneye.
