ScrewAttack's Video Game Vault: The Best of Nintendo 64

by Craig Skistimas, Bryan Baker, Nick Cramer, Chad James, Shaun Bolen

Overview

Happy Anniversary N64!

It’s been twenty years since every kid growing up in the 90s lost their mind when they received an N64. Whether it was for your birthday, on Christmas morning or your bar mitzvah, the Nintendo 64 changed your life.
The folks at ScrewAttack are no exception. To them, the 64 continues to be one of the greatest inventions known to man. With that kind of importance, it only made sense to relaunch the Video Game Vault series with the N64 leading the way. Following in the vein of their hit series "Video Game Vault,” ScrewAttack's debut book takes a look at one of the most important systems in history. The ScrewAttack team covers their favorite games for Nintendo's iconic console while providing quirky personal stories that these games helped create. From the traditional fan-favorites, to the games everyone loved to hate, the Vault is back and it has it all.

About the Author

Craig "Stuttering Craig" Skistimas is the owner and co-founder of Screwattack. He is well known for wearing his hat, and for being a former Slam Ball player. He started the company with friend Tom in 2006. As of September 2015, they have 2.3 million subscribers and over 600 million views.

A longtime writer for the Video Game Vault series on ScrewAttack.com. There wasn’t a day in 7th grade that Bryan didn’t spend playing multiplayer games on the Nintendo 64. That Wrestlemania 2000 cartridge got a lot of use. A. Lot.

Nick has been a personality, editor, and writer for lots of ScrewAttack shows since he became a part of the crew in 2008. Gaming has been in his blood since the day he was born, with some of his most treasured video game memories stemming from Nintendo’s 64-bit wonder.

Chad James is the Senior Manager of Brand for ScrewAttack.com and has been a lifelong video game fan. He’s been playing games since 1989, and his favorite console of all time is the Nintendo 64! He believes games are better when you can share them with your friends and the N64 was a console that championed that.

Shaun Bolen is a show writer, personality, and community manager at ScrewAttack. He’s played vidja games since the NES, but his addiction was solidified when he received a hand-me-down Sega Genesis from his older brother. The Nintendo 64 taught him valuable lessons in 3-D platforming, growing from boy to teenager, and entirely ignoring the left-side grip of the N64 controller.

Sam Mitchell has been playing games since he could walk. From 1988 until now, gaming has been the cornerstone of his life. Joining ScrewAttack in 2012, he has added his bold opinion to everything he can get his hands on. Also his mom thinks he is really handsome.

Ben has been in the video game and entertainment industry since high school. The N64 was his first gaming console. His love of Super Smash Bros. may have inspired his hit web show, Death Battle, because who doesn’t love seeing all sorts of crazy characters in ridiculous brawls?

Sean Hinz is currently the Senior Manager of Operations over at ScrewAttack and has been in the video game industry since 2010. After a lifetime of playing video games, it’s easy for Sean to reflect on his experience with Nintendo’s first foray into the fifth generation of gaming consoles, via the Nintendo 64, and how it shaped his childhood.

Austin has led multiple video game launches for the ScrewAttack Games brand and more recently had the pleasure of bringing one of ScrewAttack’s own games to Nintendo home consoles. He looks back fondly on the N64 era as a time that shaped his childhood and fostered his competitive spirit, despite being a filthy Sony fanboy.
