 //includes 64DD//
+Nintendo's memorable entry into the 3D and 64-bit era. Releasing on September 29th, 1996 in North America, the N64's NEC VR4300, 4 (8 with exp.) MB of RAM, and 16.8 million colors at 320x240 to 640x480 packed quite a powerful punch, although being somewhat limited in scale and scope by the system's somewhat antiquated (at the time) cartridge format. Due to this (plus the system's excellent games library), the N64 sold a cool 32 million units, allowing Nintendo to continue on into the 00s without worry.

+=== Crafti ===
+>After porting this game to the dreamcast, i naturally wanted to see how the N64 would fare. It was better than i expected but it still needs an expansion pack
+A port of a Minecraft clone found on a variety of devices. Functions like a simple creative mode with a reasonable variety of blocks. Requires the expansion pak!

+=== Java (thru Java Grinder) ===
+>The API has some 3D routines that call custom functions in the N64's RSP graphics co-processor (written directly in assembly language) to do the calculations.
+Thru Mike Kohn's Java Grinder, it is now possible to create and run Java programs for the N64! Of course, these programs must be written with the N64's technical limitations in mind, but it is possible.

 === Miscellaneous homebrew applications ===
-Pulling from the same site as the NES, the N64 has a few interesting homebrew apps available for it too. Highlights include "JPEG Slideshow Viewer" and whatever "NAMP64" is. More information about the many listed demos can be found in the first link.
