3 CLASSIC GAME SYSTEMS YOU NEED TO PLAY BEFORE YOU DIE If you are a bit older or just a hard code retro fan, you’ll recognise these systems from days of old. It’s impossible to choose 3 definitive systems, as gaming is subjective and we all have different tastes. Here are 3 systems that we just loved!
One of the all time classic consoles, the N64 was released in Japan in 1996 and sold around 33 million units. There are around 400 games for the system, and some of the best included Mario 64, Turok, Goldeneye, Wave Race 64 (a personal favourite), Pilotwings and Conker’s Bad Fur Day. The games came on a cartridge and, like it or not, worked brilliantly, with quick loading times and good graphics and sound. The N64 was a collaboration between Nintendo and SGI (Silicon Graphics), with SGI creating the “Reality Immersion Engine” that rendered 32-bit pixels (16.7 million colours) and a whole bunch of other technical marvels that resulted in one of the best consoles ever made. The 3 pronged controller was easy to handle, with its analogue joystick that was a treat to use with Wave Race and Pilotwings. The controller helped the latter game give a sense that you were actually flying. Our friends at VGChartz have listed the top 5 selling N64 games as follows: The system had a magic about it, with the way the graphics looked and the natural control of the analogue stick. Titles like Mario 64 allowed you to explore the game world with few limitations. Sadly, Nintendo only sold a fraction of N64s compared to its rival, Sony. The original Playstation sold 102 million units, with 157 million PS2s. While the 33 million sales seem paltry compared to those numbers, the N64 holds a place in gamers’ hearts due to its brilliant design, fun games, and that secret ingredient that only Nintendo have. NINTENDO 64 1. Super Mario 64 with 11.89 million sold. 2. Mario Kart 64 with 9.8 million sold. 3. Golden Eye 007 with just over 8 million sold. 4. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time with 7.6 million sold. 5. Super Smash Bros - 5.55 million sold.
