Nintendo 64 15th anniversary -- What are your N64 memories?

[Moviefan2k4]

My most prevalent memories involve two games for the most part: "Super Mario 64", and "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time". I had a very intense love/hate relationship with both. To this day, the "Clock Tower" and "Sand Land" levels in "Mario 64" infuriate me more than any other stage, while the Water Temple from "Zelda" has a similar effect as well. I remember renting "Zelda" from Hollywood Video when it first came out, and I incurred a huge fine by keeping it for months on end. I felt really disappointed at the ending, after beating Ganon, but the music still plays in my head at times. I even bought a gold-cartridge copy last year, for $20 from a local dealer, and it works brilliantly. I really don't trust the Virtual Console service, so if I want older games, I try my best to track down used copies, and then clean the living daylights out of them.
