It all depend on how much a graphics tart are you

I got an N64 with 13 games, 2 pads, memory card and rumble pack for ?2 at a car boot last week. This is my second N64 - sold the first to make way for my Cube.
Had my first real 'play' on the new N64 last night and I have to echo the feelings of many other people in this thread - the games look terrible today (in the same way many PSX/Saturn 3D games look bad). The PAL N64 is hopeless, with a terrible fuzzy picture. Games like Starfox and F Zero X are still gold mind you, and they play like a dream. Nintendo knew how to get the best out of the machine, but much of the 3rd party stuff was poor.
Sin and Punishment was ace though.

It was dire for non NCL/N64 games, but games built with the N64 in mind are work like a charm onthat pad.
And there's a massive ammount of sheer gems that can be got onthe cheap , Cube or the N64, Not hard
N64 wins each and everytime , nobody loves graphics as much as me but when games are made so well like Wave Race64 , Mario64 , Pioltwings 64 one doesn't care so much about the graphics , even today

There's no denying the power of some of the early N64 titles especially the likes of Mario 64 and Goldeneye, them two alone would usually get me opening up my crusty, moth ridden wallet but the fact I've had two N64's before and sold them both is a strong indicator that I really don't need a third.
That said, I've also had two Super Nintendo's ( UK and Japanese ) in my time and that hasn't stopped me buying a third, had to do it, there was a boxed, virtually new American machine with all hook ups and manuals going for just over ?30 on eBay yesterday, looks like it's never been used, bought it for the truck loads of great games that I've never played on either of the other two machines for one reason or another, ( either us Brits didn't get the good stuff on PAL or I just couldn't understand the Jap text ) hopefully this USA machine will strike a happy balance.
