Getting Started With The Nintendo 64

The N64 is Nintendo’s first console to fully support 3D graphics and has a library of iconic games. Use on a CRT is easy and looks great, but due to it’s 15Khz analog output and early 3D graphics, getting a good experience on a modern flat-panel TV can be challenging. This video should show you everything you need to know to get started, as well as go over other accessories and tips you might need!
