A few thoughts here:
1. To the Mac OS X post--if you've used 9 forever you won't like X. This is why I still use my old laptop. The money I could spend buying a new Mac Book I just put into my car instead, since I feel a car is more important than a new computer. As long as I can word process, use AIM, surf the net, and do a little Photoshop now and then I'm happy with the computer.
2. To the person who said Super Mario 64 is rare--I thought it was common for the Nintendo 64. Everyone I knew who had a Nintendo 64 back in the day had it.
3. And finally, Super Mario R.P.G. A friend of mine told me that I'd do better on that one than I would one like Super Mario 64. He had an SNES and the game but told me to download the emluator and ROM instead, saying it was legal because the system and game were there (he had both). This was about five years ago, and there was this program called SNES 9X for Macintosh. He found a copy of the game online and I did find it to be more strategical than Mario 64.
I always leave this one off the list of games I've played since I played it on the computer and not the physical Nintendo. For a guy not into games, and who wasn't sure what R.P.G. stood for until two years after playing the game, I did pretty well. I'd love to see this released to Game Cube--I'd probably buy it if it came out, and that's coming from a guy who doesn't buy very many games.
The logic and strategy of this one did it for me. Being a ballplayer you always are analyzing matchups, so I think this is where my skills came in handy. The game also had some good jokes in it (I remember a reference to Bruce Lee that had me laughing really hard). There wasn't much in the way of "gaming" so my bad controller (keyboard) skills didn't hurt me too much.
One comment about the SNES 9X program--I have an OS 9 version so I'm sure one exist for whoever needed it.
