\nfrom The Nintendo 64 Companion (pack-in with N64 Magazine issue 11, January 1998)<\/p>\n

I didn’t appreciate it at the time, but this is easily one of the most nifty pack-ins from N64 Magazine: a beefy little booklet written by Jes Bickham that covers the Nintendo 64 in fair detail, offering a timeline of its development history, a run-down of its features, summaries of every game and accessory reviewed in its first year… and the phone numbers and websites of every known games developer on the console.<\/p>\n

A lot of the details are probably well-known online by now, but having all this handy information in one pocket-sized book must’ve been mighty novel at the time. The amount of reviews is probably a little<\/i> bit excessive – the book is nearly 100 pages long! – especially when it comes to the accessories, but it’s a neat ol’ read that’s a good resource to have: it makes for a good buyer’s guide, it’s got all that technical info to impress your friends, and you can phone up Gremlin Interactive and ask them if their refrigerator’s running.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
