For half the price of an N64, you could get two C64's, two monitors, two disk 
drives, two modems, four joysticks, and have four player games that have the 
same interest level and playability as N64 games do, maybe even better...
Its that we're trying to bash split screen. Its nice that the N64 can do 
his.
But please, tell me a two-player game which *really* needs it. If you were
playing co-operative, maybe... But personally, its a way of Nintendo showing
off on TV commercials the scrolling abilities of N64.
