Mario Kart was played religiously as well.

I have memories of Mario 64, Wave Racer, Golden Eye and Perfect Dark. Best being that Mario 64 was my first finished Mario game.



WCW World Tour
WCW vs NWO
Wrestlemania 2000
WWE No Mercy

OH HELL NO.

I refuse to play that. The other racers cheat more than I do dammit!

Man, the N64 was such a great system.

I had plenty of excellent games myself.

Mario 64
OOT and MM
SW Rogue Squadron
Starfox 64
Gemini Jet
Bomberman 64

I had an import as well.

Evangelion 64

Nintendo 64 Started Nintendo's trend of only having 4 or so good titles on their system. Boo to that.

Anyway, my favorites:

Star Fox 64
Goldeneye
F-Zero 64

And I can't forget the almighty WCW Vs NWO. I hate Wrestling but that game was frickin' amazing. The combat system was most excellent and there were tons of different characters to pick from. I used to sit and play it for hours with a good friend of mine from back in the day.

And no, I won't mention Perfect Dark. I didn't like it.

I cant believe none of you have mentioned this little gem called Blast Corps, one of the most addicting and fun games i have ever played.



I would play it to this day but sadly my Memory Pack went useless about two years ago and you cant play without it at all, at least I dont think so as you need to save your profile and name before you can get into the first mission.

Ah yeah, Blast Corps, the first game I got for my N64. I remember setting my alarm for 5am the day after I got it, waiting for my dad to leave for work so I could play it before school.

If you think about it, its a pretty good game. I can't really think of another like it. How cool would a next-gen version be?

Yeah, I was going to mention that, but I mentioned F-Zero X and Mario Kart 64, which are both better racing games, while I have to admit that Episode 1 racer was a very close 3rd place to those two. But, I just didnt mention it.

OHHHHHHHHH this game sucked. I picked it up as a christmas present, it was between this game and 1080º, i made the wrong choice. I figured in my good old 14 year old head that an anime inspired fighting game would be a more entertaining game than a snowboard one as I had never played a snowboard game before but have played plenty street fighter and SNK games so i said what the hell. I ##### up.

Lets break it down:

Graphics - 6

Acutally one of the things that caught my attention was the graphics the game had. This was my first 3d fighter ever and it was about 10 months before Soul Calibur finally did it right, so for an N64 in 98 the graphics where average, they are certainly the high point of the game. There are some clipping issues however and incredible problems with collition, which means sometimes you appear to hit an opponent but you dont. To make matters worse, as its 3d the camera is constantly moving to accomodate the fighter´s position and it goes behind walls with unrendered graphics which makes the game´s image seem cut and then it quickly goes behind you and then you get killed or smash buttons and win, or lose anyway.

Backgrounds are nice but they have a small variety of stages, like 5 or so including mountain lake, mountain, snow covered mountain, temple and factory.

Controls -3

BAD. Unresponsive as a bastard, you have kicks and punches and it takes less time to write this review than to actually see it in motion from the moment you press the button. So this thing is slow, like really slow, it takes momentum to build up a kick or punch and its just awful.

Music and Sound - 4

Some sort of japanese techno background with small bits of fighting sounds, nothing to hear here.

Gameplay - 4

Like i said in controls fighting is slow, like watching a rock get moved by a snail. You can pick between a small cliched roster of characters, around 6 or 7, and hope to get some enjoyment over their 3d models, blocky. Then there is one fun little thing in the game, create a fighter. Using some options you can create new characters to train and this is actually quite fun as you can go all out and make some silly looking fighter and think you are funny and be glad, save them onto the memory pack and then quit because the fighting in this game sucks.

Overall

I was a young spoiled little brat and made my grandpa buy me this crap for a good 100 bucks (i kid you not) or so, and i never told him i sold the game for like 20 a few months after and that i never liked his present because that would break his heart, so i was always trying to play it finding meaning to it. I just feel sorry to whoever made the same mistake I did.

Oh after this game, i started to read online reviews a lot, so in a way it helped me become a wiser gamer.
