I'm not sure what the PAL system and carts are worth but seems like a decent deal. Mario 64, Paper Mario, and OoT would cost $30 on the Virtual Console.

Lets see, I havn't added them up yet, and I'm not always up on the CONSTANTLY changing prices of N64 games, so I will use a "over the past 90 days" trend prices from ebay.

Lets start with the N64 itself= $31

Paper Mario= $20.58

Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time= $9.95

Goldeneye 007= $8.89

Mario 64= $11.81

Quest 64= $6.95

Track and Field= $4.70

So a quick add up puts it around $93.75 (did this in my head in 5 seconds, I dont need a math lesson... lol)... the actual price is $93.88 so I was close with my rounding method :P.... anyways though,

It was a bundle deal, so we will subtract 15% of the total price, so .15*93.75= 14.06 and 93.75 - 14.06 is $79.69

So, if you want to look at the 15% off for the bundled deal, the total price is still $79.69 which means you saved $25.69.

Which is a good deal.

Now I wont use math... It's still a good deal :)

Wit gives you two thumbs up!

That's a great deal. Getting the console and Paper Mario alone would have justified that price.

Definitely a good deal, especially with Paper Mario thrown in. The cart is worth £40 alone! Nice pick up :)

Quest 64 and M64 should have lowered the price combined with the others. Quest 64 is not hard to find and neither is M64, all the others are average except track and field summer games, but with those kind of games most just sell them cheap. However, you are in Pal, and you situation may differ in terms of price, demand, rarity, and polo.

Considering some of those grade A titles you got with it, I'd say that was a good buy.

The deal with the N64, at least for me, depends greatly on the condition of the console and controller. I'd gladly pay more money for a controller that wasn't in an abusive household.

Well Then I'd say it is a great find. Do yourself a favor and pick up Blast Corps. Not only is it a great game, but it one of a kind so it will feel fresh.

Third'ed-id... STRONGLY. Quite possibly the best, most un-sung game on the system!!! You NEED "Blast Corps"!!!

:D

Me an' the Lads go into Toys'R'Us one night, rather well-lubed on alcohol, and the friend of the group who had a 64 dips into the $5 cut-Out Bin near the check-out, and announces we are buying it, followed by playing it at his place...

... That turned into four-night-per-week gaming sessions at his house every day after work until we got all the way through it with plats and scientists rescued and ...

... No Spoilers, but that game will take you places. The game might look a little simple, or not very involving if you read the box blurbage on the back, but seriously, that game ruled our lives for a few weeks! Cannot tell you how addictive and creative that game truly is.
