Went to a toy fair and picked up a "Goldeneye" N64 for £27 (fair price?). Cool game but there are a couple of problems. The instructions for the machine were missing. Does it have a built-in memory card to save my progress? Also the game instructions were missing as well so I'm a bit lost on a few things. Searched online for instructions and specs but with no luck :help:

Saves on cartridge :)

Better late than never! :)

Some games have memory on the cartridge for game saves, some do not and require a Controller Pak which plugs into the bottom of the controller. The console itself does not have any memory for game saves.

Here (http://www.elitendo.com/n64/usa_boot_save_list.html)'s a list of save locations for US games. Can't find one for EU/UK games and am not sure if they are likely to be different.

Thanx for the help guys. I just need a basic breakdown of the controls cos I've heard Pierce :D can duck behind boxes and throw stuff around etc etc. Also I find aiming quite tricky. I've got the "auto aim" activated but it doesn't help. Don't want to read too much of the guides because I always stumble on something I wish I hadn't. Much more satisfying if I can do it myself :thumbs: :wave:

I'm a 1.4 man myself :D Right hand on the control stick to look, and left hand on the D-Pad to move/strafe please! It's much easier to use this control method if you're used to a similar setup on current gen FPSs.

BTW Jay, the controls are listed in the Start Menu

£27!

Maybe I should sell my N64 on Ebay.

Solitare control was the best, Jerry, THE BEST. <^V> to move, stick to look, z to fire, a/b change weapon, R zooms. Haven't found a pad control scheme so comfortable since.

£27 ?!? I paid £4 for mine

EDIT: Should pay more attention, you mean the Goldeneye N64 console set, not just the game, doh. Yeah that is a reasonable price :)

Did anyone ever manage to master the 2 controller method? It was impossible!

I've heard about this, but as I've only had an N64 for about a month I've never tried it (I only have one controller as well :(). Can you explain how it works?

His is the console controller and game. Which would not have cost you 4 pounds, I'd imagine :)

I've got one for sale too (somewhere !) I'd be looking for 21inc for the console, controller and goldeneye (think it is unboxed but all works + leads).

Two controllers per player, one in each hand holding the middle "finger" :suspect: That allows you to have 2 analog sticks for movement and aiming (which is what you now have with existing pads anyway).

Bloody mental it was - could only have 2 players on multiplayer if you both did this. :doh:

Yeah I was quite pleased. Haven't seen many around. Nothing special about the console though. Should have had a big 007 on it :D . I've already got "Mario Kart 64" which I picked up in a WH Smith audit. Looks brand new. Haven't played it yet. How does it compare to the other versions? :thumbs:

Good game but I'd rate it 3rd behind SMK (it was the original and damn was it a classic title!) and Double Dash (obviously the better looking graphics but I'm not giving it #1 for those reasons alone ;) ) respectively in terms of all-time MK games :thumbs:

Did anyone ever manage to master the 2 controller method? It was impossible!

I went through most of the game on the middle setting using this method.

Right hand stick to move, right Z to shoot, left stick to look, left Z for cross-hair. It made my hands hurt because you had to rest the controllers on your leg or something for 'purchase'. Otherwise it would twist with your hand- usually your two hands would keep the controller in 'balanced' in place.
