==N64 myths==
==N64 myths==


It is popular belief that the Nintedo 64 was the first 64 bit console, the first console with four controllers and the first console to use an analog stick. This however, is not true. The first game console to bill itself as "64-bit" was actually the Atari Jaguar, while the first console to use an analog stick was the Emerson Arcadia, and the first to feature four controller ports was the Bally Astrocade.
