atari2600land's Blog - N64 time again

[RSS Bot]

I would like to write a new issue of Nintendo Stuff. So I keep going to game stores and all they have for the N64 are either really cheap sports games or really expensive (though shouldn't be) games (like Conker's Bad Fur Day). I saw Conker's Bad Fur Day at the flea market. I asked how much it was, hoping I might be able to get it on the cheap. Nope, he knew what he had and was asking $90 for it. Oh well. It looks as though I might have to dip in the ol' collection and do reviews on titles I've had for a long time. The downside to this is I'm not playing these for the first time, so it's kind of more biased. Alas, the only N64 games that looked good that I could get this past weekend or so are South Park and Polaris SnoCross. The latter I can't play because my memory card is full. Argh! And I woke up only to read the sad passing of C. Martin Croker. Zorak and Cartoon Planet was a staple of my childhood. I watched the beginning back when they were on TBS during the summer. (It was supposed to be an after-school show, but it was on at noon over here on the west coast.) I have the Cartoon Planet audio CDs. So that was really sad to hear. Not only that, I doubt Cartoon Network will bring Brak back without Zorak. Poor Andy Merrill will be jobless forever it seems now.
