    That poster is awesome!! I found a framed copy of this one at Burlington Coat Factory for $10. http://imgc.allpostersimages.com/images/P-473-488-90/86/8621/ROFM300Z/posters/the-legend-of-zelda-link.jp…

    I like to say I enjoyed both systems growing up. Each one of them had a unique series that I have always been a fan of, although one more than the other. End of post will point out the obvious. Behold…

    I would share my collection but they're in boxes currently. I don't like either or console better honestly. I loved the N64 for Zelda OOT, Majora's Mask, Pokemon stadium 1 & 2, Pokemon Snap, Hey you Pikachu…

    I skipped both consoles, went for the Sega Saturn! xD
    Would be a lot more interesting to take apart if you ask me, it was a weird system and had some crazy games.
    Better if you import games and use a ram expansion.
    Had great 2D arcade ports, 3D was solid but it had a lot of strange limits.


    PS1 I'd have to say Spyro series was rather great with some rather obscure gems here and there.
    N64 was pretty solid too but StarFox 64 and F-Zero are still my main favorites. Some odd obscure titles for that machine too and I'd love to try the N64DD if it were ever possible.
