Controller pack is !@#$%.

Reputation: +0/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 6206	I bought Turok 1 and 2 for the N64, and for some !@#$% reason it needs the controller pack to save! What kind of !@#$% is that? why can't it be saved on the cartridge itself like every other !@#$% game?!... The only good thing about the controller pack is that you can take the saves of those games with you to a friend. Why didn't the developers let you save on the cartridge? it sucks and it removes the option for rumble support in the game... Logged

It's always about the money... and the customers get !@#$% over for it. I can probaly get a controller pack under 10 dollars nowadays. But it probaly was way more expensive in the n64 days... Logged

But it was for more than just one game at a time. And when you ran out of space on a cartridge, or you rented games, you could keep your saves. Thus, the controller pak* is definitely worth it. * According to the one I still have, this is how it's spelled. Logged

Actually, I picked one up a few years ago for about $1 or so (Brand New). Not sure about where you live though. Ironic enough, I actually lent it to a guy in my school last year who was talking about needing one cause he was playing Turok 2 I think it was and needed one to save. Haven't gotten it back yet lol and I think he graduated, OH WELL.

I put this here for the sake of that one thread Reputation: +0/-0 Offline Posts: 964	I only had one game for the controller pack and that was Hexen. Man, that game was one of the most awesome multiplayer games ever created. Too bad we sucked too much at the main-game to co-op though. Logged

O: I used to love Hexen so much! Seriously, I had such an irrational love for that game; I think it was mostly because I was really into that kind of fantasy stuff -- I only had Atari 2600 when I was a kid, and I loved the game Adventure, then I played Hexen for the first time and it blew my mind.

Hexen was always meant to be a PC game, so its understandable that it sucked on the N64 :p
