Nintendo 64 Games Question
I'm not a gamer, but my family enjoys playing with the old N64. The console is on its last legs and I was thinking about getting a new system.
My question: Is there a newer console that can play N64 games as well as new games or do I have to try to find (and buy) another N64 console? Is there some kind of adapter available to hook up to a Game Cube or other system? Thanks for your replies. |
Your only option to keep playing N64 Games is to find another N64. But I sugest that if your family enjoys playing N64 games to give the Game Cube a chance, there are much better games on there and some are sequels to N64 games as well. You will have the same great level of games on the Cube as you do on the 64. Hope that helped.

I've never heard of such a thing,unless there is some mad scientist that has created this adapter You can pick up a used N64 fairly cheap these days.

Thanks for the quick replies! I would rather not buy a new/used console, but it seems that it's my only choice. The reason I think the console is dying is because the game doesn't always appear after a cassette it put in and the switch is turned on. If this happens, my son will take the game out, blow on the inside of the cassette, and try again. Sometime he will go through 5-10 iterations before he is successful.
Has anyone out there experienced such a problem with the N64? What can be done to fix it? Is it a simple maitenance issue or something like worn contacts that cannot be fixed? |
Yeah it could be a couple of things. The cartridge could be worn, or even the inside of the 64. Also take into account on where you have the 64 itself. Is it on the carpet, or on a entertainment center? Is it exposed to the sun at some point in the day for a long period of time? Is it in a dusty place? I know all these things can factor in to a non-working 64. Or... it could just be dying. I have had some systems of mine just start dying. ex: my dreamcast just decided one day to stop working, can't figure out why. My Sega saturn just died, it wont read games. So you could have just worn it out. I'm no expert so if im wrong please some one correct me.
The only time i rember blowing into cartridges is back in the old NES days, other then that i never blew into my 64 cartridges. I never knew it to really helpout making the game work. |
