JES BICKHAM OF N64 MAGAZINE RECALLS HIS TIME WITH THE CONSOLE
Describe what it was like seeing N64 games for the first time.
The first N64 game I saw (and played) in the flesh was Super Mario 64 on a demo pod in Dixons in Bristol. (I didn’t write for N64 until issue 7.) It was mind-boggling; the chunky 3D visuals, the movement and momentum, the sense of space and play. It’s hard to overstate the translation of 2D to 3D gaming as presented in that game alone; what an impact! And it felt like an ambassador for the future and all the N64 games that followed: this console can do this, and this, and this.
