My first gaming console

The first video gaming console that I owned was a Nintendo 64. I have one that looks like this:
 There wasn't much to go wrong with the Nintendo 64. I will still play it today because of its replay value and fantastic line of games that came out for it. Just typing this out right now brings a smile to my face because of the memories and great times that came from this console. I remember looking under that Christmas tree that year and seeing that used console. I still have it today. Games like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time , Super Mario 64, Turok Dinosaur Hunter, Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, Quake 2, San Fransisco Rush, Starfox 64, Paper Mario, Duke Nukem 64, and Rampage 1 & 2 are just a few games I can list off of the top of my head that made my childhood a freaking blast! I can remember playing a Turok game called Turok: Rage Wars and I was really little at the time. I remember playing a game against the AI and I could hear noises but I was too scared to go and look so I sat at my spawn point in a little hallway the whole game. I find this hilarious because I must have been doing a team death match or something and the AI were roaming around the rest of the map killing each other and looking for me, and I was sat spawn camping, or rather spawn hiding. I think I tried taking a look into the big room outside of my spawn once or twice but I do remember being extremely scared of that game. Later in my years I remember owning my friends in that game. I was a pro at that game. A part of me wishes I could go back and relive all those magical moments. It makes me sad that those days are gone where me and a few friends would sit down and play some of those awesome games, or if I were to play them by myself. I also have some bad memories with the Nintendo 64. I remember playing 007: Goldeneye against my cousin Collin. It was just me and him in a death match. I was a lot younger than him and the console and game were were playing on at the time was his so he had obliviously played the game before, and he faced me who never played the game in my life. Well if trolling was a word in the modern language at the time thats what he was doing... What I remember him doing to me was setting up trip wires and bombs and telling me to come to where he was at. I tried meeting up with him and as soon as I got near he would lead me right into his tripwires killing me. I remember after he did it a few times I had a fit and started crying. That shows how good of a babysitter he was. But whether the memories are good or bad my first console called the Nintendo 64 will always have a very special place in my heart.
