All N64 Games #399: Scooby-Doo! Classic Creep Capers
Classic Creep Capers takes half of a point and click adventure and mixes with half of Resident Evil, but the end result doesn’t make a complete game.

All N64 Games #398: Dance Dance Revolution Disney Dancing Museum
While Disney Dancing Museum came out at the same time as Dance Dance Revolution Disney Mix, this isn’t a port of the arcade game, but is more a custom built version for the N64

All N64 Games #397: Mega Man 64
The name implies a Mega Man game for the N64. However, this is a port of Mega Man Legends from the PlayStation, an action/adventure RPG game that is very different to a typical Mega Man game.

All N64 Games #396: Spider-Man
Spider-man (it’s really annoying when a property has multiple games that just use the name of the IP) is an action-based platformer where you go through levels, fighting enemies and figuring out how to navigate.

All N64 Games #395: Sin & Punishment
With the success of Star Fox 64, it’s surprising that nobody really tried to capture what it does: a 3D shoot-’em-up in dramatic levels.

All N64 Games #394: Banjo-Tooie
With Banjo-Tooie, Rare really took on the idea that “bigger is better”. The game, however, really shows that it isn’t the case. That said, Banjo-Tooie is still a brilliant game

All N64 Games #393: WWF No Mercy
The crown jewel of wrestling games, built upon a series of games across the N64’s lifetime.

All N64 Games #392: Midway’s Greatest Arcade Hits: Volume 1
The second retro compilation on Nintendo 64, this time for Midway’s classic arcade games, which generally aren’t as well remembered as the likes of Namco’s.

All N64 Games #391: Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2
The big thing, though, is that not every character is a bland stereotype: there’s four special ones. This game also has two video game characters you can choose

All N64 Games #390: Mickey’s Speedway USA
A Mario Kart clone with Mickey Mouse sounds like it will be a cheap cash in, but this was developed by Rare and published by Nintendo, so you should expect high quality.

All N64 Games #389: Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness
In trying to escape its arcade roots, the Pac-Man series tried multiple things: a puzzle game, a bizarre point & click adventure, shoving Pac-Man into a different 2D platformer made for another character, and, of course, a 3D platformer.

All N64 Games #388: Custom Robo V2
The first Custom Robo surprised me with how much I loved it, and this keeps up the momentum by providing an enhanced experience and not one, but two new campaigns to play through.

All N64 Games #387: Mia Hamm Soccer 64
In a way, Mia Hamm Soccer 64 is a significant game, as it’s the first video game focused on women’s football – and possibly one of the first female-focused sports games that doesn’t involve skimpy clothing.

All N64 Games #386: Tom and Jerry in Fists of Furry
A frantic isometric fighter could work really well for Tom & Jerry. Have a few fun special moves and some funny slapstick animations, and you could have a really fun, if simple, fighting game. Fists of Furry is not that game.

All N64 Games #385: Rugrats in Paris: The Movie
Personally, I don’t like it when video game adaptations include “The Movie” part of titles, and it’s especially odd for Rugrats in Paris, which already has a unique title without “The Movie”.

All N64 Games #384: Tigger’s Honey Hunt
This was made in as a cash-in to The Tigger Movie, without actually creating a tie-in game to the film.

All N64 Games #383: The World Is Not Enough
Via Eurocom, were ready to take on the might of GoldenEye, and they did a really good job at it.

All N64 Games #382: Cruis’n Exotica
The third and final Cruis’n game on the N64, and this is more of the same dull racing gameplay, just with slightly more visual flair.

All N64 Games #381: Blues Brothers 2000
Considering the games that ended up getting cancelled on the Nintendo 64, it’s surprising that this one made it all the way to release. It’s a tie-in to a two year old film that performed poorly.

All N64 Games #380: Stunt Racer 64
This is a relatively unheard of game due to its rarity – due to missing deadlines, it ended up only releasing in North America, exclusively to Blockbuster.
