I just bought a new Nintendo 64 tonight... you should see how shiny and clean it is! My old one breathed its last this week, it just would not power up. I haven't played Perfect Dark in ages, and you can just imagine my disapointment.
So I buy this new one, hook it up, and I realize it came with the jumper pack, and I need to stick my expansion pack in there.
The thing will not fucking budge. Are there any expansion pack gurus out there, any tricks to getting this thing out? I'm about to dropkick my machine.
I also picked up Panzer Dragoon Orta for Xbox, and this has to be the best rail shooter in history.

I think the expansion pack should have come with that wedge/lever thing that you're supposed to use to pry it out.

This expansion pack is like 4 years old, the tool has long since been lost.
What about a spoon? I'm really just afraid I'm too strong and I might shatter it or something.

hmmmm i think i had to do the same thing when i got my expansion. i don't remember what i used but it was a bitch to get out. i just tried a quarter on each side and pressing inward and pulling out but that didn't work too well. i think what i did before was take something and pry it under one side and move the pack up a little, then do it to the other side. i repeated until it was out.
while were on the topic of 64, EA is making a sequel to goldeneye that will be on multiple platforms.

I got a knife from the kitchen and shimmied and jimmied it out, and I'm in the Datadyne building as we speak! Whoo.
Goldeneye 2... risky business. But EA has been consistently improving their Bond games, to their credit. I got Everything or Nothing the other day, and while it's no Goldeneye, it's great on its own terms, and the most authentic Bond game yet. Just like a movie. Goldeneye was really just an exceptional FPS with a license slapped onto it. It could have been Joanna Dark in there and it would've been no different. EoN is BOND.
Anyway, GE2 is totally unnecessary, but I'm looking forward to it anyway. Even if they manage to skewer it, it'll be interesting at least.

rare doesn't consist of the same people anymore. a good amount which had to do with goldeneye are now at free radical (makers of time splitters). also, rare may be xbox exclusive now (or at least tend to only have releases for xbox) and the quality of their games just hasn't been the same. plus, since goldeneye is a movie, the rights were to make a game based on it were licensed from mgm. rare doesn't own any right to any sequels unless they buy them (which they didn't) also, EA europe made 'the world is not enough' for n64 a couple years after goldeneye. i never played it but it's supposed to be pretty good. EA tends to have all the bond games now as well.

Hmmmmm....I may have one of those tools around here somewhere, I could search it out for you, but I'm guessing by the time I would have posted it to you, you would have removed it somehow!
Good Luck!
