i thought it was majora's mask,

which reminds me, Majora's mask was originally called, zelda Gaiden! or also called Legend of Zelda the eternal series, or my favorite LOZ: The sequel to Ocarina of time! in the first version, instead of the fierce deity mask, u had the adult link mask, not only that but the goron could use the megaton hammer and the zora could use deku sticks,

Wasnt the N64 the first console to break the 2 controller curse?

[Chris]

Out of major consoles, yes. I'm not sure if a less successful console did it first, though. I'll go find out.

EDIT: The first console to provide 4-player support is the Odyssey 200, which was basically a Pong ripoff released in 1975.

What was the point of the expansion card? The only game that I used it for was Perfect Dark.

[Chris]

The expansion Pak added 4 MB of RAM, which allowed compatible games to sport better graphics. I had one because it was necessary to play LoZ: Majora's Mask, which is the only game to require it.

[mignelli]

wrong again! Donkey Kong 64 also required the expansion pak to play

[Legacy]

Dk 64, LoZ Majora's Mask, and Perfect Dark anyone else know of games that had to have the expansion pack
