Oh come on man I dont even know you! Bringing down hell on me because you dont like my writing. wtf? You’re ofcourse intitled to your opinion and I cant say otherwise. But for those idiotic statements you just did you deserve a slap in the face!
No, you didn’t understand what I said. At the time of their release, yes, these games were top-notch, but they did not age well. Other games, such as Star Fox, Donkey Kong Country, Metroid, and F-Zero are still very fun and have stood the test of time. Many old PC games also fare very well and may even have strong online communities. However, many games on the N64 are hard to go back to and play because of the controller and game design. They were great. Were.
i think im actually getting your point a little. I was never too happy with the sloppy controller for the N64 either. but it still takes you back to the younger times
Yeah, it does bring back memories, especially seeing the Rare logo…
But I tried to play it and experienced the aforementioned problems. Then Perfect Dark had terrible lag. I would have liked to see a remake of it, but they shoved us PD:Zero instead. Chumps.
Yeah PD zero was a huge dissapointment! and yes, a remake would have been awsome. Also if they did the same thing to many other games…
Like Star Fox 64. It was the last good one released and that was back in ’99. With a remake, they could actually create a sensible plot. For example, who the hell are Bill and Kat and what’s with this “bio-weapon”? Some backstory would be nice. Instead of this, we have received SF games with on-foot levels. Star Wars Rogue Squadron tried that and FAILED. It’s only logical for Nintendo to do the same.
Yeah it was fun back then, but it has not aged well at all. My standards have been raised.
Called nostalgia, not quality. I agree with grhangar.
mario kart ftw
haha @ 2:37 “Playstation man!”
At the time this video was produced there had already been a great deal of television produced talking about the “benefits” of gaming. This video was designed to be critical. Insert Coin has no obligation to be “objective” and does not seek to be. The main purpose is to encourage gamers to think critically about video games without dismissing the importance of video games in their lives. Keep the comments coming. Thanks.
fukn gameheads wit no lives
14 y old youtube trolls…
lol is this documentary from the 90′s? ^^
It is obviously made in the mid-2000′s. It must be very new. Why else would they mention Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn and PlayStation, and show gameplay footage from Super Mario World and Zelda for the SNES?
4:25 +
What’s that music from?! It’s from some crappy game that I played way back when.. It’s on the tip of my mind! Something to do with.. I don’t know. It’s familiar.
why are they saying only kids play video games…thats the way it sounds anyways I mean yeah I grew up into it but im in my mid 20s and live a good life have a good job government job actually but i play video games in my free time lol.
This was made when the average age of a gamer was significantly younger than it is now.
anybody else not have sound on this for some reason? :S
This is more like from 1997 or 98…
this must be from at least 1999 cause of the references they make of the columbine massacre.
