Addicting Game of the Day: Mario Kart 64

It was a golden age for split screen multiplayer during the heyday of the Nintendo 64, and what better way to play with three of your closest friends than with Mario Kart 64. Mario Kart 64 didn't have the realism of other racing games; it did, however, rely completely on its fun factor to make it a staple of the Nintendo 64. With single and multiplayer races as well as battle modes, Mario Kart 64 was a tough game to stop playing once it was taken out of the box.

I actually never played this when it was on N64 but got into later. Gotta love old school Nintendo.

Oh man, did you miss out. There was nothing better than a few tournaments with friends back then, jumping the barrier on Rainbow Road and hoping for the best or everyone quickly picking Yoshi or Toad, with the other two players cursing their bad luck and settling for Luigi or Wario. Good times.

Psht, Luigi was awesome. My favorite "shortcut" was probably the one on the Wario level. It was the hardest to pull off (in my opinion), but very rewarding.

Between this game, Golden Eye and Ocarina of Time, the N64 was a gold mine of fun back in the mid to late 90's. Even some games like Vigilante 8 and Clay Fighter 63 1/3 still get a play every now and then. Oh and Wave Race 64. Man that one was a blast.

Murgatroyd75187d ago

Sadly, I still haven't played the N64 version of ClayFighters. And Wave Race was surprisingly fun. I was actually really disappointed that they didn't revive that for the Wii.

I loved this game, this and golden eye were the best games on n64

Murgatroyd75187d ago

Man...those were the days. I've still got the cartridge in my game drawer and I have a digital copy on my Virtual Console. I definitely need to go back and play this sometime. The SNES version is still my favorite, though.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space
