No, but I remember the promo at the time, it looked great but I never got to buy it!  Have searched for it  a few times, I should try again. Will hit ebay perhaps

If I recall correctly, I'm pretty sure I played a Conker game on the Game Boy Color back in the day. I don't have the cartridge anymore (unfortunately), but I remember the game being... uhh.. more 'family friendly' than Bad Fur Day is said to be! 

Whoops, that wasn't directed at me!  Either way, I want to play that game! haha

Yes, Perfect Dark was heroic - I still play that one semi-regular.

The problem with that game is everybody you have to talk to is a big baby

Great game!

Although the N64 didn't have as many FPS titles as, say, the PS1, I think the quality of them is substantially better than most platforms. Games like Goldeneye and Doom 64 alone are enough to secure its place as an amazing console for shooters.

This said, I never beat the final boss in this one.  Prefer Echoes personally. I remember having a play through of it last summer with a death metal soundtrack.

I never played Echoes back in the day. Still need to check that one out! I played the original around 7 years ago, and I remember it being just way too difficult and confusing at the time. I was only 9 or 10 years old, so a game like that can be quite a challenge when the only FPS titles you're familiar with are COD and Halo!

^N64?

I haven't had time to play video games lately, yet I still find the time to pick some up.  At 57 cents, I couldn't turn down a copy of Final Fantasy Anthology for Playstation (FF V + FF VI).
