It was the company’s last cartridge-based home console before the switch to optical discs and it introduced players to the joys of awkwardly-placed joysticks. And of course there were the games: the jump to a 64-bit CPU meant you could now experience the worlds of Hyrule and the Mushroom Kingdom in glorious 3D. However, while Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and GoldenEye 007 might be the go-to titles when talking about the Nintendo 64, the tastes of the Engadget crew run a little more off the beaten path, as evidenced by the memories our staff shared below.

The Hermosa electric longboard is a great option at a relatively affordable price. This longboard features a 350W electric motor that ensures a climb angle of up to 30 degrees of incline. That motor is also brushless. But what's an electric longboard without a good battery to power it? This longboard features a 26V battery, which can help you cover up to 10 miles on a single charge. Even better, a full charge only takes one and a half hours to complete. The board itself is made of maple wood.

It’s a stunt particularly reminiscent of the Green Goblin, played by Willem Dafoe, flying through NYC in director Sam Raimi’s blockbuster “Spider-Man” (2002). Is this really future of personal transportation — or was it a reckless stunt that could’ve gotten somebody hurt? Either way, it’s pretty wild to watch.

James Schroeder, from Wheaton College, was the lead author of the study. The study shows that these phenomena, also known as Alfven waves, accelerate electrons toward Earth, causing the particles to produce the light show we know as the northern lights.

With Quattro, you get four fantastic shower experiences, but with a lot less water. All four modes flow less than 1.5 gpm compared to a 2.5 gpm standard shower, but it sure doesn’t feel like it. Even better? The average family of four will save over $300 per year on water and heating costs. Quattro pays for itself in just four months.

The infestation comes after years of drought, devastating wildfires and a period of heavy rain that boosted plant growth, creating ideal conditions for the hungry rodents to reproduce exponentially. Now farms and fields are overrun with swarms of mice that have taken up residence in the walls of barns and homes.
