My old N64 setup turned into a whole party last weekend
Three years ago I had a single controller and no one to play with. Last month my buddy brought over his old collection and we set up four controllers on a CRT I found in my basement. We spent six hours taking turns on GoldenEye and Mario Kart 64 - does anyone else think the older games just hit different when you're all crowded around one small screen?

Man I feel that pain, I brought my N64 to a party once and ended up playing Mario Kart by myself for two hours before anyone even noticed. At least now you've got a squad that appreciates the four-player struggle.

The CRT really is the secret weapon for N64 parties, @jake_walker's story proves how easy it is to miss the vibe without the right setup. There's something about that bulky TV and the way the light bounces off the screen that makes four-player GoldenEye feel like a real event instead of just another game night. Crowded together on a couch with split screen is the only way that stuff holds its magic.
