Hey guys, I am looking for some oldschool systems!

believe it or not, i couldnt care less for Wii, ps3, or xbox. i have all 3 in Canada and didnt touch them since the first day they were set up--n64 is where its at!

anyway, im looking for an N64 with Mario Kart + Mario Tennis, and possibly an NES if i can find one...

will i find one at Yongsan? or Technomart? or at some other technology mart?

to be honest, ill even settle for a SNES if i have no choice!

Any help is appreciated

www.emulator-zone.com

There's your N64, SNES, a swell as a number of other systems you may or may not be interested in. PLUS, all the games you could ever play!

You're welcome.

In all honesty, if you hook up your computer to the tv and buy a usb controller. Sega, NES, SNES emultators work perfectly. Nintendo 64 emulators work as well but there are still some bugs.

I use to think like you, but it's simply not true.

Anyways you should give it a shot... it wont be easy finding these systems here... ebay in america is your best bet.

Settle for an SNES? To be frank, the SNES is probably the finest video game system of all time! SNES, original Playstation, and N64 are all excellent systems.

You could also pick one up in Japan. Super Famicons (SNES) are ubiquitous there. They're soooooo cheap and still in immaculate condition.

i found a greatt setup for an N64 with a bunch of games and some controls in my home town on ebay. im gonna buy it and have my brother ship it out to me.

thats the one thing that frustrates me about korea, so many people and business, but you cant find anything. if its not new, u cant find it. and even if it is new, sometimes you have to go to special places. it shouldnt be so hard to find a torx screw driver in this country, but it is...

all the stores here carry the same sh@t no matter where u go. everyone has the same haircut and wears the same shiny clothes..lol gotta love the lack of uniqueness and the herd mentality.

/end rant

im sorry, im just suffering from my mario kart 64 withdrawal.

N64 emulators have been working well since the late 90's. They're all but perfect these days. I still play Podracer on my netbook occasionally. That game had phenomenal graphics for it's time and still looks great if your push the resolution up.

There's even a viable Wii emulator if you can be bothered stuffing around to get it working.
