Anyone know what a "Jumper Pak" is? And where do I find memory modules and inexpensive games? And two more controllers. I want to max out the system as much as I can.

Oh yeah, What are some good titles to look ofr and the stinkers to avoid? If anyone can remember?

Three words: ebay, ebay, ebay.

Only place you can really find N64 stuff these days. No stores, not even used and small-time video game outlets carry N64 shit.

Not sure what a jumper pak is, but that might be referring to a rumble pak, which is the thing that makes the controller vibrate when you're firing plasma laser guns and getting blown up multiple times by proximity mines. You can get combo rumble paks+memory card for like $10 on ebay. There are kinds where one pak can save games for all four players.

Best games for N64 are without a doubt the multi-player "shoot-em-up" games. 007 Goldeneye is the best game EVER, as is Mario Kart. Super Smash Bros is fun as hell, and some of the sports titles are good too, like Madden, NHL '99 and Mario Golf. Not as "realistic" as PS2 and Xbox, but it has the classic feel of Genesis and Nintendo (8-bit). Nothing beats an old school game.

Oh, I got Gauntlet Legends (remember that arcade game) - FUCKING ROCKS.
