Ok, so I'm a HUGE N64 fanboy. It was the first ever home console I had, and I loved, and still love, it to pieces. I don't know, but something about that Z-trigger, and the analog stick, and just popping in a cartridge an playing Blast Corps again gives me the shivers, in a good way.

Now, when I only had an N64 at the beginning of the decade, I read Nintendo Official Magazine UK. I would read, and then re-read the issues over and over and over again. Unfortunately, I got rid of all those magazines when I stopped playing with my N64 when I got my Gamecube in lat 2002.

Once I started buying systems from other companies in mid-2005, my love for NOM waned greatly, as GS was free and multiplatform, exactly what I needed. While I kept all the Gamecube issues I had collected, they were just in a big pile on the floor, just pikced up and strewn across my bedroom floor.

On eBay last night I decided to type in "Nintendo Official Magazine", and unlike most times, these were dozens of issues from the N64 era. There are about 40 issues I NEED, ranging from issue 54, N65 launch, all the way to issue 115, the last issue before the Gamecube's UK launch. I NEED these issues because they highlight the N64 days, which are very nostalgic for me.

There are alos a few other reasons why I must have these issues:

Firstly, I already haveover 40issues, and so a rock solid collection has been started, and would go to waste if it wasn't expanded on.

Secondly, the later issues have loads of early Gamecube news, and that time period also interests me.

Thirdly, I want to just plain read what I remember as the best magazine of all time.

Lastly, I love reading older game mags, and this would be great to have.

Thankfully, Christmas is close, so I'll soon have nearing on 90 issues of my fave magazine!

What, I'm not buying more games?! *faints* ;D
