Owning all good N64 games

[Couk]

I bought an N64 a few months ago so that I could catch up on some classics I'd missed, particularly Majora's Mask, Conker and such. Anyway, I've been finding good games periodically and it seems i've run out of "classics". Maybe you could help out, BEARING IN MIND i hate sports games and racing games (hence no MK64). This is what I have so far.

Goldeneye

Banjo Kazooie

Blast Corps

Mischief Makers

Lylat Wars

Perfect Dark

Conker's Bad Fur Day

Majora's Mask

Donkey Kong 64

Wetrix

Kirby 64

Worms Armageddon

Mario 64

Pokemon Snap

Paper Mario

-I'm hopefully getting Banjo Tooie in a trade

-I have 2 editions of Ocarina already on the cube

-Don't even mention Mario Party.

What is missing? Hmmm.

[Andy_Tanner]

Pilot Wings.

[mdn2]

Rocket: Robot on Wheels

Exitebike 64

1080 Snowboarding

And I really enjoyed The World is not Enough.

[SomeNaiveChump]

Snowboard Kids

World Driver Championship

Bangai-O

Sin & Punishment

F-Zero X

ISS 98

oh, and forget Worms Armageddon unless you really can't get hold of a PC version.

and if you're collecting, then you won't mind that racing and sports games are included, and hell, you might get to like some of them

[Juria]

Excite Bike, 1080 and that Rare game with the brother and sister and dog? they seem to come up quite often in the retro folder

[Landshead]

Diddy Kong Racing

Plus some of them games aren't essential. ie. Wetrix and Worms

[northy]

Yeah, Jet Force Gemini is quality, you should get that.

[TheSlugFormerlyKnownAsNap]

Robotron 64

Well, I liked it

[mdn2]

Mario Golf 64 - The epitome of arcade golfing.

Shadowman.

[SomeNaiveChump]

Diddy Kong Racing

Plus some of them games aren't essential. ie. Wetrix and Worms

and DKR is about as essential as Dysentery.

[Andy_Tanner]

Robotron 64

Well, I liked it

aye, well worth getting hold of.

[DarthSquirrel]

Mario Kart not been mentioned yet i see!?

[Filth]

Snowboard Kids

Yes yes yes yes yes.

Pure multiplayer goodness.

Damn that parachute.

Space Station Silicon Valley -- DMA platform puzzler with dark humour

Rocket Robot on Wheels -- platform game with incredible engine & physics (Half Life 2 without the hype)

Jet Force Gemini -- colorful, brash shoot 'em up

Hybrid Heaven -- your mileage may vary; semi-turn based beat em up, 3D exploration adventure set in underground space ship

Ogre Battle 64 -- NTSC only. Get a Passport converter and beg, borrow, steal--hell, murder even--to get your hands on this Strategy Game in the Ogre Battle saga. One of the best games ever made.

Also, I've heard so much good stuff about Beetle Adventure Racing that it's on my pick up when I see it list.

[TheSlugFormerlyKnownAsNap]

Mario Golf 64 - The epitome of arcade golfing.

Shadowman.

You might be right on Mario Golf, but Shadowman sucks the big one. Nice atmosphere, nice storyline but a lousy game.

[Calashnikov]

Despite what a bunch of folk have said, I wouldn't bother with Jet Force Gemini. I don't think it aged well. I got it maybe a year after it came out and that's how I felt at least. I can't imagine what it'll be like nowadays.

[Melon_Bread]

Ogre Battle 64 -- NTSC only. Get a Passport converter and beg, borrow, steal--hell, murder even--to get your hands on this Strategy Game in the Ogre Battle saga. One of the best games ever made.

.

Agreed, I must of put 120 hours into this game and I still hadnt quite finished it, I'll play it again when I find a bloody NTSC N64 RBG Scart lead!!!

[Filth]

Mario Golf 64 - The epitome of arcade golfing.

Shadowman.

You might be right on Mario Golf, but Shadowman sucks the big one. Nice atmosphere, nice storyline but a lousy game.

Yup.

Samey Deadside locations killed this for me.

I've been here before. No I haven't, oh, hang on, I think I have. No, no this doesn't look familiar. I've got enough dooberrys to get through the thingy gate, where the fuck is it?

Happy landing Shadowman cart.

The best version of Forsaken was on the N64. Amazing game.

[Calashnikov]

Forsaken is hard as nails. It's the only game that I can think of that's still solid even with invincibility and infinite ammo

It was pretty good at the time, I guess.

[SomeNaiveChump]

I thought the makers of Forsaken came out and said 'yes, ok, it's probably impossible to finish unless you designed it, in which case it's almost impossible'

[Jim Miles]

I very very mcuh enjoyed Pilotwings 64 at the time.

There's a trinity of great um, sport/race games on N64 in the form of:

Wave Race 64

1080

Excitebike 64

[the_debaser]

I thought the makers of Forsaken came out and said 'yes, ok, it's probably impossible to finish unless you designed it, in which case it's almost impossible'

I did it. This was during Uni though, when I had 24 hours a day to devote to games.

Oops, forgot one:

Yoshi's Story

Ignore the naysayers. This is brilliant. Constantly inventive, beautiful to look at... pure fun, without the intimidating challenge of the other, more "epic" Mario/Yoshi games.

[Calashnikov]

Actually, I remember playing Beetle Adventure Racing. Yeah, that was a pretty cool game yeah? I totally forgot that game existed. Hmm. It was good and stuff.

I enjoyed playing it, not Nintendo's finest hour by a long shot, but still fun. Loved the 'patchwork' look.

[Ste Pickford]

Plus some of them games aren't essential. ie. Wetrix...

What the...!!?!?

[SomeNaiveChump]

What the...!!?!?

I was waiting for you to read that

[Landshead]

What the...!!?!?

I did rent the game from Blockbuster, it just wasn't my thing.

I bet it made you want to wee.
