Project64 Doesn't suck

Do you remember the good days when graphics weren't more important than game play? Do you miss the games you used to play on your Nintendo 64 like Banjo-Kazooie, Super Mario 64, Mario Kart, and Conker's Bad Fur Day? If so, I've got some excellent news for you...

Project64 is a Nintendo 64 emulator - it will allow you to play all of your old Nintendo 64 games on your computer. I will try to never explain in detail something that should be blatantly obvious to anyone who uses a computer on a regular basis, therefor I will not be explaining *how* to use an emulator. Anyone with a brain should be able to google this and prevent me from cluttering the Internet with another "How to do some mindless task for idiots" guide. You will find that I will only cover in detail things that are actually worth covering in detail. Anyway, back to the topic at hand...

I have enjoyed several old Nintendo 64 games thanks to Project64. My wife even purchased a couple of actual Nintendo 64 controllers off of Ebay along with an Adapter so they can hook up to your pc. Using the actual N64 controllers definitely makes the games more enjoyable and I highly recommend using them if you can afford it. If not, you can of course use your keyboard(if playing multi-player games, I prefer hooking up an additional keyboard).

An additional plus to Project64 is that it runs just fine through wine if you are running a variant of *nix.

That's all for now, go download Project64 and give it a shot.
