n64 classics
 

I picked up an n64 at a garage sale for cheap. It came with OOT, MM, mario, banjo kazoo 1 and 2, wave race. OOT is fun, mario i've already beaten years ago, BK sucks. what other good games are there?

Re: n64 classics
 

road rash 64
mario party
conker's bad fur day
goldeneye
perfect dark
starfox 64

all those games are genuinely awesome.

Re: n64 classics
 

BK is the same game as Mario with better graphics, so I don't know how you think it sucks. It's still the second best 3D platformer in existence. I'd give that another chance depending on how long you've tried it.

People will tell you Mario Kart 64, good if you're going to play multiplayer. Give MM a shot, but it is a big commitment so if you're not really into Zelda it might not be for you.

If you do like 3D platformers but just don't like BK for whatever reason, try Donkey Kong 64 and Rocket: Robot on Wheels (lesser known but great game by the guys who later made Sly Cooper).

I remember people used to like SSX (?), but I never played it.

sorry man, i strongly disagree with this. mario 64 is one of my all time favorites, and imo, one of the best video games ever, and banjo kazooie doesn't come close. i played the whole game, and the "feel" was not nearly as smooth or fast in controls as mario 64. it really wasn't a great game in my experience... same for donkey kong 64 (i didn't play the whole game).

if you're looking for an awesome platformer that is also more tailored towards adults, conker's bad fur day is delightul. =)

Haha...no need to apologize. I actually didn't like Conker that much. It's just not big enough in scope like Mario and BK are. The bat level was amazing though.

I agree about Donkey Kong 64. That one is overly large (contradicting myself?) and is often described as a big egg hunt because of all the crap you have to collect. Banjo-Tooie is even worse. But if you're a huge fan of the genre, both are still recommended.

There really haven't been any platformers like those since N64. There's great platformers such as Ratchet & Clank and the Jaks, but they're more linear and not the same open world puzzle-solving style.

Eh I guess Mario Sunshine which is meh...

If you were ever into wrestling, Wrestlemania 2000 or No Mercy is a must. No Mercy has a few more features, but Wrestlemania has a better cage match and much better 1-player story mode.

Re: n64 classics
 

One that I played endlessly which hasn't been mentioned yet: F-Zero X.

Wasn't a fan. It certainly didn't live up to the hype. Two more great games I thought of : Rogue Squadron and Turok 2. Turok isn't for everyone though, some find the really long levels annoying.

Re: n64 classics
 

my favorite games..

NFL blitz
PerfectDark
Banjokazooie 1
super smash brothers
zelda:ocarina of time

there are probably more..but I just can't remember them

Re: n64 classics
 

Damn I totally forgot about Blitz.

I'm going on a N64 binge until I get back to the States for Christmas so I can keep myself occupied.

Games to play:

Finish OOT (and Link to the Past / Zelda 1)
Banjo-Kazooie
Golden Eye
Mario 64
Conker
Majora's Mask (still never played it)
and possibly Perfect Dark (never played it, heard a ton of good stuff, worth it?)

No multiplayer fun unfortunately.

definitely

Re: n64 classics
 

The bad thing about Blitz is that it was "rigged" at the end of the game which I think is stupid. Still a very fun game though.

Definitely Goldeneye, that's often ranked among the top 20 games ever made.

Majora's Mask if you want more Zelda with a different feel to it. Conker is a possibility yea. Star Fox 64 isn't that great IMO.

Agreed...like I said before, it's only a slight notch down from Mario 64. M64 and BK are on top of the 3D platformer world and nothing has come close in the 8 years since, including Conker.

Oh but will Mario Galaxy blow these away. It's number 2 on the list of Wii titles I would kill someone's grandma to play right now. Yes, I would kill someone's grandma for a 1 day jump on Twilight Princess... I'm that guy.

I really hope so, but from what I've seen it doesn't look THAT amazing.

Re: n64 classics
 

I've heard really good things about the controller scheme checking out a bunch of previews. I'm a little skeptical of the graphics but if the controls are as good as it's touted as being, I don't care (much like Zelda).

The biggest factor is if they can get the gameplay up there. So far no one has really seen a complete enough version to say. The levels have promise, if they can flush out a complete game out of it and make it rewarding, it will be a hit. I have faith.
