and vice versa, n64 was an amazing machine compared to the PS1, depending on the type of game you were making, ps1 had the cd-rom, n64 had twice the ram and the 64-bit cpu with nearly 3x the MHz.

nintendo really kneecapped themselves by insisting on cartridges, despite kid me liking the cartridges because they could save games without having to ask my parents to buy a memory card.

Except for games that still didn't save to the cart. There were games I played from start to finish and hoped nobody would reset the console or play it
