Conker's Bad Fur Day if you can get it cheap.  And Diddy Kong Racing.  Both are great games.

Thanks for the answer 133MHz. Now I have something to do tomorrow. By the way, what is th YMMV you refer to?

Also, those interferences with the buzzing would only occur when the system/cart without the rf shield is in use, correct?

Instead of making another thread, this might as well serve as the main Nintendo 64 thread.


So...how about that Perfect Dark?  I played it for the first time ever yesterday, and it's a great FPS.

Perfect Dark is one of my favorite games of all time! When it came out I played the hell out of that game, I'd actually rate it above Goldeneye. I was about to go wait on line for days when the 360 came out to get Perfect Dark Zero...until I read reviews of it.

YMMV = Your Mileage May Vary.

Just because my NES seems to be fine without its metal shielding doesn't mean that yours should be too. That's it .

Also, those interferences with the buzzing would only occur when the system/cart without the rf shield is in use, correct?

Correct.

[nintendodork]

Yeah.  It's such a shame that PD Zero sucked so much.  I too would rate it above GoldenEye.  The controls are great, which actually really surprised me, since I thought the last thing the N64 controller would be good for is a good setup for a FPS.

Anyway, now I have a new question.  I was recently playing Perfect Dark, and every time I take the cartridge out of the box, I can't help but stare at that ugly price sticker.  They should really do something different when putting stickers on cardboard/paper boxes that can rip/tear easily.

My question is this; is there any way to get the price tag off without majorly damaging the box?  I thought of maybe trying rubbing alcohol, but I figured that would just make the colors on the box fade.  Any suggestions?

[133MHz]

Patience. Lots of it. Pry the sticker off with your fingernail and rip it until every piece of it comes out. Then rub the glue residue with your finger and eventually it'll come out too. Yes this is absolutely tedious but it's the only way to do it without causing damage to the box.

[Rob64]

I agree with 133MHz, I had to do the same thing for other boxes I had and it worked nd walked away with no damage.

One last time for confirmation: Taking into account the possible interferences, I can take out the rf shield in the console or cart that do not use rf, right?

[133MHz]

RF, no RF, same thing.

[Rob64]

RF, no RF, same thing.

..... I'll take that as a yes 

[nurd]

Mario 64, Donkey Kong 64, the 2 Zeldas, Wave Race, Mario Kart 64... just to name a few.

I played the hell out of Wave Race.  I love riding the dolphin. I've never played DK64, but the rest i can say are all necessary for somebody who is into n64.

Mischief Makers!

I had this for a while, but i brought it back. I really wanted to like it, but i just. Didn't.


I think the Star Wars pod racing game is fun, Oh oh oh, Super Smash Bros., One of my favorites.

[cubelmariomadness]

I liked Mischief Makers. My friend owns it. We played it so much! We just couldn't pass that race part.

[Rob64]

What do I do with the RF shield when I take it out? Does it go in a recycle bin or something?

[133MHz]

I tend to keep those around in case I need a piece of scrap metal for cutting, setting stuff on fire, things like that.
I've grilled a couple of hot dogs on the top shielding from a NES once, because I didn't have anything else at my disposal.

[Rob64]

....
..............
right.............

Or if you're not into grilling with rf shields, how do you dispose of it?

[cubelmariomadness]

I just threw mine into a trash can.
It's just metal.
