I don't see many posts here about the N64 and it doesn't look like there is an N64 community on lemmy.world It's the console I have the most nostalgia for and I have over 130 games in my collection. I'm currently playing a ROM hack called SM64: Beyond the Cursed Mirror. It has some pretty challenging platforming but it is fun.

It was caught in an unfortunate time of very early 3d gaming. The ps2/GC era improved graphically by such a massive degree, and really allowed for a lot more mechanical depth in games. N64 did have some absolute classics though, and yet emulation still isn't in as good of a state as the following generation. I've become quite spoiled by how good Dolphin is, and it is the standard I compare all emulators to. So I don't find myself as nostalgic for majoras mask or glover, as I am for wind waker, or pokemon colleseum.
