Thanks for watching everyone! Apologies for any audio glitches in this episode, they didn’t appear while editing! I’ll try and find out what happened. Hope it wasn’t too distracting and you enjoyed the list anyway! 😊
Made a comment about it but wanted to double down 😅 Noticed some clipping in your audio stitching. I’m an audio producer, if you are looking for any help polishing this channel! I love the channel! Just found it yesterday and have scrolled through a ton of it already! I love retro games and would love to help! Let me know if you wanna chat! Cheers
I love your enthusiastic and upbeat delivery. Great job! I was about to subscribe because of that, but I already had lol. Great content. I love hearing about other people's favourite games on this console that aren't Mario and Zelda. There were some really innovative and interesting titles in this generation, and there are definitely more good than bad games on the system. To answer your question about my favourites, they are all the Turoks, Doom 64, Quake and Quake 2, Forsaken, Body Harvest, Mischief Makers, Banjo Kazooie, Shadow Man, Mission Impossible, Diddy Kong Racing, Beetle Adventure Racing, San Francisco Rush, Jet Force Gemini, Hexen, Duke Nukem Zero Hour, and many many more
Always love seeing your game lists! I don’t have an N64 so I play all my N64 games through the Wii Virtual Console, but I’ve been eyeing the PS1 version of Gauntlet Legends and it was so cool to see you mention it :D thanks for all the recommendations! I’ll be looking out for these!
You have great taste! I’m a huge N64 fan and the usual lazy comments from its detractors always wind me up too. And yes, the original controller is still the best way to experience the games.
The goldeneye 007 N64 game isn't the same without the gun style rear controller Z trigger 🎮 that's what made it feel like a real gun 🔫 in the game!!! People have no idea how good the N64 controller was!!! 🥰
Great list! Top games on my list excluding Mario & Zelda games are Perfect Dark & Golden Eye 007 (logged so many hours), Mystical Ninja: Starring Goemon, Resident Evil 2, WWF Warzone, Hybrid Heaven, Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness, Gauntlet Dark Legacy, Star Wars: Shadows of The Empire, 1080 Snowboarding, Bomberman 64, Mission Impossible, Quake 64, Iggy’s Reckin’ Balls, Turok 2: Seeds of Evil Games I haven’t played but want to try: Rayman 2: The Great Escape, Snowboard Kids,
Diddy Kong Racing is also my most played N64 game, no doubt. My best childhood friend had it, later on my girlfriend had it, now we are married and I have it, too. Looking forward to the day I get to play it with my daughters.
as a kid born in 81 I was in my teen when I got my N64 and it really is a superb consol and all its games. Also worked in a video game store so there is little games I have not played . There are so many great games on N64 that gets looked over besides the reguler like Mario, Zelda etc etc. Its nice with a list that are a bit diffrent.
Jet Force Gemini is one of my absolute all-time favorites - the scope and exploration of that game was incredible, and the amount of time it took for me to complete that game was crazy, but it was that much more rewarding for how long the ending of that game evaded me. Lots of great games on the N64 - also want to give a shoutout to Bomberman 64, Bomberman Hero and DOOM 64 besides the great games mentioned in this video.
Great list, im surprised there were 6 games here i've never played. I also came back years later to finish mischief makers, loved it. Glad DKR made the list!
You love racing games huh! Great video. I like watching these favorite n64 game videos because I always think they'll be the same as mine but they never are!
I am sorry my previous comment ended up long by the way 😂😢 had a lot of things to say as I really loved and enjoyed the video with an awesome list. 😊 I really am passionate about the older era of Nintendo, grew up with N64, SNES, Genesis, NeoGeo, GCN, PS2 and Dreamcast games ^.^
Hi, it was very interesting to learn about games like Gauntlet Legends and Chameleon Twist 2. One of those games on your list that I knew before is Lylat Wars. It's a really awesome game in my opinion, too! Also I enjoyed DK64 very much as well as Jet Force Gemini. Thinking of DK64, a friend of mine got this game just like a week before me, so we kinda explored it together. I was often curious to see the new levels he had reached, hoping I would get there myself soon. Brings up nice memories to me ;-)
@@nicolascarrion83 exactly. and im glad he didnt. im tired of lists that do include them. im glad he talked about games that dont get mentioned enough. at this point SM64 OOT, while great games feel overrated at this point
Great video! Apart from a friend who had one (we mainly played GoldenEye, naturally) the N64 largely passed me by at the time. I've since acquired one and I'm waiting for an HDMI mod to arrive so I can start to discover what I missed out on. Will definitely see if I can track some of these down. 👍
All killer titles there, really enjoyed the video! I'm now looking forward to getting Chameleon Twist2 from your recommendation. I've more recently got back the enthusiasm for n64 & I'm loving it! I'm also discovering the jpn games, such awesome box art in most cases. There is so much for the n64 for the casual gamer or hard-core collector! Nice one 😉
Fantastic recommends. They're all either in my collection or on my list already except for conkers, which I didn't really know anything about. Thanks for another good video! You covered a bunch of the best games and as always, were concise and genuine. I fear I'll never find a copy of space station silicon valley 😢 but maaaaaaybe one day
Great picks. "Wonderful!". Forever hear that in Oak's voice, for sure those lines are deep in my skull. Agreed on needing the N64 stick, recently got a Raphnet adapter to get the controller direct onto PC which works great for emulators. Shout out to Episode 1 Racer too. N64 has a small, but good library
Great list, literally started it off with a great classic and none of them disappointed. I just got a copy of Gauntlet Legends to add to my Blockbuster collection!
So pleased to see Space Station Silicon Valley on your list. I have fond memories growing up and playing that game with my sister. The game was so wacky and different and yet so fun. Brilliant choice.
Also, just found your channel, love the content! I don’t mean to overstep, but I am an audio guy-musician and producer. Noticed some artifacting and clipping between audio takes. If you want some help polishing your channel, I’d love to talk about working together some! Love what you are doing and would really enjoy working on content for retro games! Let me know what you think!
I love the wave race arcade stand up cab it’s awesome it even sounds and feels good watching your clip your right the response from the controls are spot on
One of my favourites that I almost never hear people talking about is Rocket: Robot on Wheels. It's an old game by a little studio you may know, Sucker Punch Productions :-)
The Nintendo 64 is such a wonderful classic gaming console and one of my favorite gaming consoles of all time. I love it when I find a Nintendo 64 game that's on my list more than other games from other consoles on my list. Wonderful Nintendo 64 list. Cool video. ^_^
You started off with a banger. I want the N64 version so I can play it again. I had the same experience. Never played on N64 but at my local arcade I played it every time.
Can't tell you how much I played Gauntlet Legends with my brothers. I tried getting into the Dreamcast version and Dark Legacy and it's just not the same. So much nostalgia around it. I actually fired it up on the 32" JVC CRT TV at my parents yesterday, only ran the demo screen lol
These favorite lists are often diverse, and it shows that despite a comparatively small library, the 64 delivers on quality. Sin and Punishment, Doom 64, Rogue Squadron, Rocket Robot, and Ogre Battle are just a few more “exclusives” that prove the depth of the library. It’s also the console with the exceptional Evangelion game package that looks fantastic on my bookshelf.
To see how well these games have aged, my 7 and 10 year old kids love playing Banjo Kazooie and Diddy Kong Racing on the N64 (I still have the same one I played when I was a kid)
Some of my favorite N64 games that people don't talk much about are Ridge Racer 64, Road Rash 64, Star Wars Rogue Squadron, International track and field 2000, chameleon twist 2 The World is Not Enough, Pokemon Puzzle League, Bomberman hero to name a few
Very nice hearing about your favourites. Among these I think F-Zero X is my favourite, it really got me hooked! On my top list Mysical Ninja Starring Goemon 2 reigns :)
I owned a N64 growing up in the 90's and my favorite games were all the mainstream games like Mario Kart, Mario 64, Mario Party, Zelda Ocarina of Time, Banjo Kazooie, Super Smash Bros, Bomberman 64, Starfox 64, Kirby 64, and Diddy Kong Racing. After watching your video and seeing the games I haven't played, I would say Chameleon Twist 2, Wave Race, Beetle Adventure Racing, and F Zero X look like fun games to check out.
Mischief Makers is awesome. Gotta get all those gold gems so you can see the whole ending. I love the boss where you riding on a cat I think and you have to jump, while on the cat, onto flying missiles, then catch more missiles and throw them back at the boss. Oh man, that game is so awesome. I haven’t played it in forever, but I remember getting all the crystals.
Some of my favorites (not mentioned in the video) are: Turok 3, Rayman 2, Command & Conquer, Resident Evil 2, Paper Mario, Perfect Dark, Shadowman, Indiana Jones, F1 World Grand Prix, StarCraft64 and my absolute favorite Ogre Battle 64
silicon valley was actually one of my first games, i played it as a kid at my cousins house alot and i loved it. never got very far though so i think ill go back oneday.
I've always loved the N64 controller and I've never really understood people's complaints. The 3 prongs is a total non-issue for me and I'm not sure why it bothers people, and the analog stick feels so distinctly precise and tactile. It really lends itself well to fine movements more than any other stick imo. And like you said, you can really tell these games were tuned for this stick; Mario 64, F-Zero, etc. just feel wrong on any other controller. One thing that also contributes to Switch online feeling worse than real N64 is input lag (an inherent obstacle in software emulation). I think generally folks underestimate how much difference 1 or 2 frames of latency makes in how responsive a game feels. Really enjoyed this video; the N64 was my main childhood console (despite releasing well before I was born). Keep it up :)
I've got 7 of those 15 and do agree. Just regarding the original N64 controller mentioned a few times in this vid, I've been amazed at how good the Retro Fighters joystick is after my original controllers took a bit of wear and tear on the analogue stick. I prefer the Retro Fighters Brawler now.
N64 is my favorite console of all time and I'm playing it right now as I do daily! I adore the original controller and I take good care of mine. I own every N64 game that I could ever want as I spent 5 years collecting, spending a lot of my hard earned money, but worth every cent, and I would do it all over again right now if I had to.
Very Nice List. I wondered that you have not exkluded rare Games but its very Hard to do a Best List without :D i personaly miss Blast Corps here. I Think the Game is so Awesome that Ideas is never been Done again, with Diddy Kong Racing and Banjo Kazooie definitly my Favorites too. Funny that you like on Stadium the Minigames the Most xD never hear anybody say that, for me it was always the Link Feature and the Possibility to Use my Game Boy Pokemon :)
Love your list - I have a third of these games, and I agree with every one. Personally, I was hoping that Quest 64 would be the dark horse entry, but I get it; it’s a very polarizing game that is a little simple in some ways and requires effort from the player to engage with the story. My main surprise was that Perfect Dark wasn’t on the list. Less surprised Blast Corps isn’t on here, though it is such a unique premise with amazing gameplay.
Ogre Battle 64 Person of Lordly Caliber. Terrible name, best game on the console and you didn't mention it! Or WWF No Mercy, best wrestling game from the best wrestling game series ever.
Beetle Adventure Racing was fantastic. I also remember playing Top Gear Rally to death. Never cared for the two player mode but we did race each other’s ghost cars all the time.
Wave race is an incredible game. There hasn’t been a game that has come out since that captures what this game does. It’s kind of incredible how good it looks it too.
This has nothing to do with your video, but the first youtube add that played was too funny. I had just grabbed a large plate of food, sat down, then the commercial was some raccoon that said "Hey, I'm Richard (my name), & I'm f***ing hungry!". Cool list, a bunch of games I've never heard of before.
my top 15 are = Pilotwings 64, Super Mario 64, Wave Race 64, Killer Instinct Gold, NBA Hangtime, Blast Corps, Star Fox 64, Tetrisphere, GoldenEye 007, Diddy Kong Racing, F-1 World Grand Prix, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, F-Zero X & International Superstar Soccer 2000
I once wrote a movie version of space station silicon valley, the basic plot is a space station was built to preserve natural bimes in space. then one day someon made a plan to cause it to crash and one lone tech manages to disarm the self destruct, but then has to escape from the station even though the sabateurs are using chip controlled animals and insects everywhere trying to kill him but when he escapes he identifies all of them.
Great, thanks! Could you please have the name of the games written on screen through their segments? that would help so much cause sometimes when you first announce the game we may have no clue/interest about it, but then as the segment goes along, we might get interested in that game and then we have to stop and go back to find the beginning of the segment just to get the name and then go back to where we were… uhhhggh.. (lol) Cheers mate!
U had my attention immediately when u said gauntlet legends. Had no idea there was an arcade version or a n64. I had it on ps1. First game i ever bought. And i loved it. Youd be surprised how many dont mention it. Only game missing from the list was extreme g racing. Imo that was better then fzero
I grew up with the SNES, and I only got my N64 in 2018, but it's a console that I love. People who claim it has no good games have probably never even touched it. Of course it may not be the best console ever made, but it has a lot of unique games to offer

Putting Diddy Kong Racing so high up - have my sub, sir! :)
the N64 was also my favorite childhood system! Nothing screams nostalgia for me more than a good ol' session with an N64 game. Good video
Wave race 64 still holds up so well, it’s amazing to play today. The graphics, the music, the controls, the physics!
I love your enthusiastic and upbeat delivery. Great job! I was about to subscribe because of that, but I already had lol. Great content. I love hearing about other people's favourite games on this console that aren't Mario and Zelda.

To answer your question about my favourites, they are all the Turoks, Doom 64, Quake and Quake 2, Forsaken, Body Harvest, Mischief Makers, Banjo Kazooie, Shadow Man, Mission Impossible, Diddy Kong Racing, Beetle Adventure Racing, San Francisco Rush, Jet Force Gemini, Hexen, Duke Nukem Zero Hour, and many many more
Just realized Wave Race and and 1080 are both equally great games for the same reasons while being completely different. Underrated, both of them.
They really focussed on making the best physics possible! I feel like neither of the GameCube versions were as good in that aspect.
The part of CBFD that always seems to get overlooked is the multiplayer. I remember spending hours playing with friends
My favorite game that I played on the Nintendo 64 was 007 GoldenEye and Diddy Kong racing.
Always love seeing your game lists! I don’t have an N64 so I play all my N64 games through the Wii Virtual Console, but I’ve been eyeing the PS1 version of Gauntlet Legends and it was so cool to see you mention it :D thanks for all the recommendations! I’ll be looking out for these!
If you really want Gauntlet Legends at it's best I recommend the Dreamcast version
You have great taste! I’m a huge N64 fan and the usual lazy comments from its detractors always wind me up too. And yes, the original controller is still the best way to experience the games.
Agreed I recently bought new wireless and wired n64 controllers
The goldeneye 007 N64 game isn't the same without the gun style rear controller Z trigger 🎮 that's what made it feel like a real gun 🔫 in the game!!!
People have no idea how good the N64 controller was!!! 🥰
Super mario 64 is probably my favorite but man I have so many good memories playing Bomberman 64 ;)
Great list! Top games on my list excluding Mario & Zelda games are Perfect Dark & Golden Eye 007 (logged so many hours), Mystical Ninja: Starring Goemon, Resident Evil 2, WWF Warzone, Hybrid Heaven, Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness, Gauntlet Dark Legacy, Star Wars: Shadows of The Empire, 1080 Snowboarding, Bomberman 64, Mission Impossible, Quake 64, Iggy’s Reckin’ Balls, Turok 2: Seeds of Evil
Games I haven’t played but want to try: Rayman 2: The Great Escape, Snowboard Kids,
I hoped that Mischief Makers would make the list. Not disappointed!
Diddy Kong Racing is also my most played N64 game, no doubt. My best childhood friend had it, later on my girlfriend had it, now we are married and I have it, too. Looking forward to the day I get to play it with my daughters.
Awesome! I hope the game holds up today for new players!

Recently picked up a CIB conkers and I’m so glad to finally have that box and inserts in my collection after 22 years.
WCW/nWo Revenge, WrestleMania 2000, WWF No Mercy, Goldeneye, Rush 2, Ocarina of Time, Mario Kart 64, Mario 64...those were the heavy hitters for me.
I'm so excited you did an N64 episode! Diving in! 😊
I love your games selection as always. Just downloaded all these roms to enjoy them on my nintendo switch. Thanks!😉
Ogre Battle 64 Person of Lordly Caliber Is arguably the best N64 game!
Need to get that one! I’ve had a lot of people recommend it!
Totally agree, Ogre Battle 64 is a masterpiece.
Currently playing Unicorn Overlord on Switch, what a gem.
It sucks😂
I am sorry my previous comment ended up long by the way 😂😢 had a lot of things to say as I really loved and enjoyed the video with an awesome list. 😊 I really am passionate about the older era of Nintendo, grew up with N64, SNES, Genesis, NeoGeo, GCN, PS2 and Dreamcast games ^.^

Are you me? These are all of mine and my brother's favorite N64 games. Awesome taste.
All cool games but nothing beats ocarina of time, truly a masterpiece of its time
He said at the beginning of the video that he wasn’t going to include any Zelda (or Mario) games…
@@nicolascarrion83 exactly. and im glad he didnt. im tired of lists that do include them. im glad he talked about games that dont get mentioned enough. at this point SM64 OOT, while great games feel overrated at this point

5. Pokémon Stadium 2
4. Doom 64
3. WWF No Mercy
2. Super Mario 64
1. Zelda OOT
All killer titles there, really enjoyed the video! I'm now looking forward to getting Chameleon Twist2 from your recommendation.
I've more recently got back the enthusiasm for n64 & I'm loving it!
I'm also discovering the jpn games, such awesome box art in most cases.
There is so much for the n64 for the casual gamer or hard-core collector!
Nice one 😉

Great picks. "Wonderful!". Forever hear that in Oak's voice, for sure those lines are deep in my skull.
Agreed on needing the N64 stick, recently got a Raphnet adapter to get the controller direct onto PC which works great for emulators.
Shout out to Episode 1 Racer too. N64 has a small, but good library
Episode 1 racer is great! Love it in the arcade too with the dual stick controls!
Rare Ware games for N64 was amazing ❤
You have good taste in games, but I am disappointed that jet force gemini didn't make the list
Thank you. I’ve trying up add any other great games to my collection. This is helpful.
Great list, literally started it off with a great classic and none of them disappointed. I just got a copy of Gauntlet Legends to add to my Blockbuster collection!
Good call on #1 I got it for Christmas of 1998 and it completely solidified my love for platformers and the N64.
Wave Race was easily one of my favourites growing up. Great game
Great selection mate. I’m currently growing my N64 collection
You have an amazing collection
So pleased to see Space Station Silicon Valley on your list. I have fond memories growing up and playing that game with my sister. The game was so wacky and different and yet so fun. Brilliant choice.
Diddy kong racing was one of my favorite Nintendo 64 games! 😊 good job on this video!
So glad to see Beetle racing adventure, it's one of those game I played a lot but forgot about it. Great list!
I actually enjoyed your video. A lot of these mainstream youtubers suck. Thank you for not doing the mainstream games. You got a thumbs up sir.
Hey, great video!!! I would love to see you tackle this kind of video for the Saturn and the Dreamcast too!
Are you going to do another room tour video? Your set up in the back looks amazing
One day! Outside of this shot the room is a mess at the moment though! >.
First time I've seen your RUclips, really enjoyed 👍
The N64 is a great console. I love all the games you mentioned and I would even add more. 🙂
I kept watching and kept hoping you’d include Mischief Makers. I was afraid you’d leave it off but then BOOM there it was!
Also, just found your channel, love the content!
I don’t mean to overstep, but I am an audio guy-musician and producer. Noticed some artifacting and clipping between audio takes. If you want some help polishing your channel, I’d love to talk about working together some!
Love what you are doing and would really enjoy working on content for retro games!
Let me know what you think!
Fantastic trip down memory lane!
Man I havent heared bout Gaunglet legends in a long time, memory unlocked
Mischief Makers made the top 5! My dude! Always happy to see a new convert.
I love the wave race arcade stand up cab it’s awesome it even sounds and feels good watching your clip your right the response from the controls are spot on
One of my favourites that I almost never hear people talking about is Rocket: Robot on Wheels. It's an old game by a little studio you may know, Sucker Punch Productions :-)
Rocket Robot is great! Will definitely show it off on a hidden gems video when I get round to making that!
The Nintendo 64 is such a wonderful classic gaming console and one of my favorite gaming consoles of all time. I love it when I find a Nintendo 64 game that's on my list more than other games from other consoles on my list. Wonderful Nintendo 64 list. Cool video. ^_^

My favourite without doubt is Diddy Kong racing. Definitely the best of this genre what a game this is 😊
To see how well these games have aged, my 7 and 10 year old kids love playing Banjo Kazooie and Diddy Kong Racing on the N64 (I still have the same one I played when I was a kid)
Some of my favorite N64 games that people don't talk much about are Ridge Racer 64, Road Rash 64, Star Wars Rogue Squadron, International track and field 2000, chameleon twist 2 The World is Not Enough, Pokemon Puzzle League, Bomberman hero to name a few
Very nice hearing about your favourites. Among these I think F-Zero X is my favourite, it really got me hooked! On my top list Mysical Ninja Starring Goemon 2 reigns :)
I owned a N64 growing up in the 90's and my favorite games were all the mainstream games like Mario Kart, Mario 64, Mario Party, Zelda Ocarina of Time, Banjo Kazooie, Super Smash Bros, Bomberman 64, Starfox 64, Kirby 64, and Diddy Kong Racing.

Really enjoyed the List😃Gauntlet Legends is pretty cool in coop, but you need expansion pak for 4 Players Session🙂
Some of my favorites (not mentioned in the video) are: Turok 3, Rayman 2, Command & Conquer, Resident Evil 2, Paper Mario, Perfect Dark, Shadowman, Indiana Jones, F1 World Grand Prix, StarCraft64 and my absolute favorite Ogre Battle 64
silicon valley was actually one of my first games, i played it as a kid at my cousins house alot and i loved it. never got very far though so i think ill go back oneday.

I'm very surprised both OOT and Goldeneye didn't make this list, but I do agree with you with the fact that the top three are Rareware games
cool collection man !!
God i love your room! i want it! xD Nice Gems here!
Great list! I am missing some of those games and need to fix that.
Excellent list! I forgot about a few of these to be honest.
Finally someones talks about Gauntlet Legends!! I love this game, especially the N64 version
ive always preferred the Dream Cast version
N64 is my favorite console of all time and I'm playing it right now as I do daily! I adore the original controller and I take good care of mine. I own every N64 game that I could ever want as I spent 5 years collecting, spending a lot of my hard earned money, but worth every cent, and I would do it all over again right now if I had to.
Very Nice List. I wondered that you have not exkluded rare Games but its very Hard to do a Best List without :D i personaly miss Blast Corps here. I Think the Game is so Awesome that Ideas is
never been Done again, with Diddy Kong Racing and Banjo Kazooie definitly my Favorites too.
Funny that you like on Stadium the Minigames the Most xD never hear anybody say that, for me it was always the Link Feature and the Possibility to Use my Game Boy Pokemon :)
2 other Rare games that should be on here is Goldeneye and Blast corps. Perfect dark is also great--also by Rare
Also Jet Force Gemini
You've got some guts making a list of top n64 games without listing Goldeneye or OOT! Lol
You still quote Professor Oak from Pokemon snap to this day? ....... Wonderful!
Love your list - I have a third of these games, and I agree with every one. Personally, I was hoping that Quest 64 would be the dark horse entry, but I get it; it’s a very polarizing game that is a little simple in some ways and requires effort from the player to engage with the story.
My main surprise was that Perfect Dark wasn’t on the list. Less surprised Blast Corps isn’t on here, though it is such a unique premise with amazing gameplay.
Completed diddy kong racing earlier this year for the first time since it came out 😂 finally!!!
Ogre Battle 64 Person of Lordly Caliber. Terrible name, best game on the console and you didn't mention it!
Or WWF No Mercy, best wrestling game from the best wrestling game series ever.
Beetle Adventure Racing was fantastic. I also remember playing Top Gear Rally to death. Never cared for the two player mode but we did race each other’s ghost cars all the time.
Wave race is an incredible game. There hasn’t been a game that has come out since that captures what this game does. It’s kind of incredible how good it looks it too.
Gauntlet legends was so fun to play with friends. So much good times but also so much fights over who got the resources 😂
My favorite is the Star Wars episode I racer. always a good time
Great video and excellent list! Have you tried Vigilante 8? I always loved that game on the N64, and enjoyed it more than Twisted Metal.
When playing Starfox64, there is no substitute for the N64 controller.
True, although I do like the 3DS version, it still doesn’t feel as nice as the 64 original
This has nothing to do with your video, but the first youtube add that played was too funny. I had just grabbed a large plate of food, sat down, then the commercial was some raccoon that said "Hey, I'm Richard (my name), & I'm f***ing hungry!".
Cool list, a bunch of games I've never heard of before.
Haha that sounds very random!
my top 15 are = Pilotwings 64, Super Mario 64, Wave Race 64, Killer Instinct Gold, NBA Hangtime, Blast Corps, Star Fox 64, Tetrisphere, GoldenEye 007, Diddy Kong Racing, F-1 World Grand Prix, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, F-Zero X & International Superstar Soccer 2000
Can't believe snowboard kids 2 or rampage world tour was not on the list. Was also amazing games.
I once wrote a movie version of space station silicon valley, the basic plot is a space station was built to preserve natural bimes in space. then one day someon made a plan to cause it to crash and one lone tech manages to disarm the self destruct, but then has to escape from the station even though the sabateurs are using chip controlled animals and insects everywhere trying to kill him but when he escapes he identifies all of them.
Great, thanks! Could you please have the name of the games written on screen through their segments? that would help so much cause sometimes when you first announce the game we may have no clue/interest about it, but then as the segment goes along, we might get interested in that game and then we have to stop and go back to find the beginning of the segment just to get the name and then go back to where we were… uhhhggh.. (lol) Cheers mate!
U had my attention immediately when u said gauntlet legends. Had no idea there was an arcade version or a n64. I had it on ps1. First game i ever bought. And i loved it.
Youd be surprised how many dont mention it. Only game missing from the list was extreme g racing. Imo that was better then fzero
I grew up with the SNES, and I only got my N64 in 2018, but it's a console that I love. People who claim it has no good games have probably never even touched it. Of course it may not be the best console ever made, but it has a lot of unique games to offer
Great selection, but I would have included Bomberman 64, the puzzle platforming concept was great.
