This post has nothing to do with tundra rodents. Live with it. http://www.roguesquadron.net/forums/smile.gif)

I have a confession to make. I'm not really a video game player.

Don't get me wrong...I have a Nintendo 64, and I play two video games on it much of my free time. I've spent hours flying around Rogue Squadron and Pilot Wings (another 64 game, for any who haven't seen it), and enjoy it enough to visit this website daily just to talk about it. I suppose that makes me a video game player of sorts...but I just can't get into other types of games.

I've watched others play the many incarnations of Mario Brothers and company, and all the silly "character jumping around" games that overstimulate many modern children. The racing games (except Pod Racers, which I liked) just don't excite me all that much, since there are enough REAL obstacles with the drivers in my town. The fighting games I don't get at all--why not get the equipment, find a sparring partner and try it for real (in a safe context, that is)? But FLYING games...!

I always wanted to be a pilot. The only problem is...I'm afraid of flying. Is that crazy, or what? My solution came when I discovered Pilot Wings, a flight simulator for the 64. I spent months flying the gyrocopter, learning the ins and outs of video flight. When Rogue Squadron came out, I just HAD to get it...I'd wanted to be Luke Skywalker when I was a little kid, after all!

So, I'm wondering; taking my reasons for liking this kind of game into consideration, are there any other games for the 64 that my fellow video game players can recommend I try? I'm getting tired of two games I've already found.

Note: I do intend to set up my PC to play XWA some day. Right now I'm looking for N64 games I might like...

Thanks a bunch! http://www.roguesquadron.net/forums/smile.gif) You guys are swell.

My heavens, how disapointing. I was all primed to discuss the benefits of edible rodentia and all I read is a confessional. Well young Imladil not being much of a gamer is not a sin. It is, however, shameful. Tsk, tsk.
*wagging finger*
The problem as I see it is that you are trying to find satisfying games on the wrong platform. Trash that old N64 and go to your local software store and check out some of the cool titles for the PC. Some of my pics would include Age of Empires II Age of Kings, Heroes of Might and Magic III, Quake2, and perhaps Homeworld. In any event I would also suggest that you run to church and pray for forgiveness. Everyone knows that God loves gamers! http://www.roguesquadron.net/forums/wink.gif)

I'm dissapointed in you, Imaldi, for 2 reasons:

1. You play N64.
2. I wanted to hear about Tundra Rodents.

However, you may go to Little Priest (Who you'll hear from soon) and confess to him!!!

Uhm, you were misinformed, Imladil.

I've just spent the past three hours doing just that. Twelve parking meters, to boot.

Wanna tell me WHY, if that were true, I am now $12 and 3 hours poorer?! Hunh?!

(Insert witty one-liner signature HERE)

Well, Lieutenant...

Each time you did so, you DID freeze time. You also, of course, froze time for your own perception as well, so you and the rest of us were completely unaware of what happened. Actually, by stopping time like that, you brought a line of quantum causality (an entire space/time continuum of its own) screeching to a halt, effectively ending the universe!

Each time you stuffed a dollar bill into the parking meter, you destroyed a whole universe! reality, of course, continues in parallel universes like this one...unless some fool stuffs another bill in the meter.

TWELVE whole universes, Lieutenant! This is what happens when folks with spare change play with reality. See what you've done? http://www.roguesquadron.net/forums/wink.gif)

Nope...I'm totally unfamous, I'm afraid.

I read his books when I was a kid, though. I suppose I could definitely consider him an influence.

I've always found his sense of--HOLY CRAP! Pirates!

That's the spirit, boys! More cognac on the poopdeck! Bring her about and let the fiends see how many cannons we have! HA-hah-hah! We'll be abusing the villagers in the King's court tonight or feeding the fishies! No hope for the weak!

Let's not turn on those fifty gigawatt football stadium lights until the last second! It's the LAST thing they'll expect...

Ah, how the screams of the drowning fill me with a sense of inner peace...

My recipe for Banzai Teriyaki Chicken stir fry: Make up a nice rub with fresh serrano chilis and onions pureed with olive oil and worcestershire sauce. Rub a chicken breast before broiling; when done cut in strips lengthwise. Stir fry with teriyaki sauce and any veggies you choose, serve over basmati rice (I know the basmati is out of place...it's MY recipe, so live with it! http://www.roguesquadron.net/forums/wink.gif).

It's important to have sake on hand when preparing this recipe, just to inspire the "banzai" part. I encourage the use of fire, knives and alcohol in close proximity...but I'm a professional, and do so only under insurance coverage. http://www.roguesquadron.net/forums/wink.gif)

So when do we have annual RS pilot ace awards? I'm planning on bombing the stands with a Y-wing...
