Somewhat true, however their last game for the N64, Conkers BFD, was in fact a lot shorter, tighter and well laid-out than both DK64, BK or BT.
I´ve actually completed it twice already. Cracks me up all the time.
If you haven´t got it, I urge you to seek out a copy ASAP.

Yeah, I thought I was going crazy for a minute, there, and was almost convinced I'd asked about C64 emus myself.

Same here. It's running everything really nicely, apart from a couple of games, which don't work in PJ64 and are better served by 1964 (Pokemon Puzzle League, for example).
I get the feeling that I didn't really miss out on much by not having an N64... Diddy Kong Racing is good though
It's funny going back to an old machine like that -- even I feel less enamoured of it now. The same goes for the Saturn: apart from a couple of amazing games (Panzer Dragoon, Radiant Silvergun and Nights), I feel the same way. It's nice, but not as nice as I remembered.
But in the N64's favour, it does have the best Zelda game ever, which still stands up today (if you're a Zelda fanboy like me, that is ), as well as the above-mentioned PPL, Donkey Kong 64, Super Mario Kart, DKR and the utterly fab Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie.
Also, even though the emulators are great, the games are somehow better on a TV and played on the original machine.
Gordon - why dont you just get yersel the N64 emu for the X-Box, it's great, it has 1964, PJ64 and Ultra all on the same disk, you just pick what emu you wanna use for what game, it even recommends the best one....................oh and its on yer big telly too
Never judge a man until you have walked in his mocassins for 2 moons.........

That's a good idea. I'd been put off by having to download the roms I wanted; but since I'm doing that anyway over the next week or so (56K modem and all), I'll try out the XBox emu.
Is there only one?* And is the emulation any good? I'd heard it was a bit hit and miss.
*[edit] I've just read that it's Surreal64 you mean. Is it consistently good?
Hey all, I was wondering, anyone know of any good ROM sites for the N64. I cant seem to find any, only emulators.......
The best games for N64 I thought were, Starfox, Mario, NBA Hangtime, Mario Karts, Cruisin' USA and Clayfighter 63 1/3 to name some anyway.
Any sites would be of help

Bump - retro arch on my ipad air running Zelda - tbh it has perfect sound but the display recorder dosent record that (yet) and runs in 1280 x 960 - Now once the bt stack is fixed I can use all my Nintendo joysticks and it will be perfect !! Seems to run every rom I can throw at it too
Retro Arch is lovely on Ouya and Nvidia Shield as well. I love Android for emulation.
I just wish some smart person would pull apart the games with custom code that aren't runnable with high level emulation. The Star Wars Rogue Squadron game would be particularly nice to have on a handheld. I'm stupidly fond of that game.
