Playstation vs Nintendo 64

In My Humble Opinion
21

You can make all the points about memory and power and polygons, and if this is better than this and blah blah blah, but here’s the big difference:

If you like to play games by yourself (single player), get the PlayStation.

If you like to play games with other people (multiplayer), get the Nintendo 64.

True, of course N64 had zelda 64 and mask

Personally Id get a computer, and just use emulators for all those games.

Barring that a dreamcast:) They havet he best games.

I have a N64, SNES, Genny, PS1 (part of the psx2), PS2 & Dreamcast, nes, gboy (these you can just play on the computer with an emulator)etc

Right now Im playing the Shenmue on the Dreamcast. It’s the best so far. The Dreamcast is cheap & its the only one of them that can play umm backups without any modification or other machine whatsoever, also comes with a 56k modem & you can use it with NetZero to get on the web FREE! (It sucks using the joypad as a keyboard but you can get a keyboard).

I got my DC from games2you.com They have them for $99 used.

The memory card of the DC can download from the web little gameboy like games free & play it on them. Cute. You can also play major games online with the DC.

I like all the machines for their own specific reasons. But the DC has the best value at the moment. Haven’t opened the pSX2 yet.

BTW, I played FF8 PSX on my PC computer with just the free demo of Bleem from Bleem.com & it works perfectly fine.

Thanks for all of your input.

We got N64, and about 6 games: 2 Zeldas, Spiderman, Mariocarts, Star Wars Pod Racers, and some other spacecraft/race game named Turboblast or something. 4 controllers, and expansion pack. We need a controller pack to save some of the games, but area retailers are all out.

Man, I could play Mariocarts all day and all night! I think I have a blister on my thumb! The kids just couldn’t believe it when they opened it. As late as X-mas eve, my son was trying to brainstorm how we could possibly convince his mother to let one of them in the house. Glad we got that on film.

Mrs D thinks we are all nuts.
