Why We’re Still Playing Star Fox 64 / 3D

NL:

I was reminded today by my tweeting mother (who has been described as the 'coolest mum in the world' by my colleagues as she arguably knows more about 3DS games than I do) that it's the 19th Anniversary of the Nintendo 64 in Europe. Putting aside the fact that it's a reminder of the grim marching on of time, it made me look back with rose-tinted spectacles (in addition to my normal glasses) to the day my older brother used his first ever paycheck to buy the 'Lylat Wars' – our rubbish European name for Star Fox 64 – bundle.
