The Tri-Star 64 is a wonderful piece of hardware which let you play Nintendo/Famicom, Super Nintendo/Super Famicom and Gameboy games on your Nintendo 64 ! It has its drawbacks, but its never the less a must have for all Nintendo retro gamers.


You will find here some informations about the Tri-Star 64, like a photo gallery and compatibility list. Also, on the left, you will find some external links to useful sites about the Tri-Star 64, especially the offline IGN page about it (which I grabbed from Google cache, I hope IGN Gear won’t mind about that...).


I hope you will enjoy this site, and please let me know if you have more knowledge about the Tri-Star 64 than I could gather here.
