All N64 Games #260: Army Men: Sarge’s Heroes
There’s something inherently charming about playing as toys in a human world. The Micro Machines games are a great example of this. Army Men takes the concept of playing with little green army men in a variety of genres, with Sarge’s Heroes being a third person shooter.

All N64 Games #259: Michael Owen’s WLS 2000
While I’ve tried to be as accurate as I can with dates for this list, information online for PAL release dates is often wonky. Many sites list this as coming out on the 10th November 2000, which is after the American reskinned version of it.

All N64 Games #258: WCW Mayhem
With AKI & THQ getting hold of the WWF license for the upcoming WWF WrestleMania 2000, EA stepped up to grab the WCW license they left behind for their own wrestling game.

All N64 Games #257: WinBack
When you play a third person shooter these days, you expect there to be a cover button – one that “attaches” you to a wall so you can pop out to shoot an enemy.

All N64 Games #256: Road Rash 64
In the Road Rash series, Road Rash 64 is a bit of an odd one.

All N64 Games #255: NASCAR 2000
There really isn’t much to say about this, so I’ll keep it short.

All N64 Games #254: Bangai-O
Treasure are well known for their shoot-’em-ups, and this one is an example of why. It’s an extremely fast and frantic “twin stick shooter” that oddly feels more modern because it’s more retro.

Premier Manager 64 is the only English football management game on the N64, based off Premier Manager Ninety Nine on PC/PS1.

All N64 Games #252: Tonic Trouble
The most surprising thing about this game is that it’s not just a terrible Rayman knock off – it’s one developed by UbiSoft themselves.

All N64 Games #251: Shadow Man
This was a game I was looking forward to. I read about it so much in N64 Magazine – who loved the game – but it was too “mature” when I was a kid.

All N64 Games #250: Madden NFL 2000
In a year where NFL Quarterback Club dropped the ball, a simple release would have been extremely successful for Madden.

All N64 Games #249: Gauntlet Legends
While I have been a bit unfair to arcade ports for lacking in content, Gauntlet Legends is an arcade game that makes a lot of sense for a home console port.

All N64 Games #248: Duke Nukem: Zero Hour
Considering how censored the Duke Nukem 3D port on N64 was, it’s surprising that the N64 got its own Duke Nukem game, but Eurocom ended up making Zero Hour just for the N64.

All N64 Games #247: Dragon Sword
Dragon Sword is a cancelled beat-em-up style that translates the gameplay of Golden Axe and Streets of Rage into 3D. I

All N64 Games #246: Mini Racers
An unfinished prototype for a game where you control RC cars through colourful environments, although it’s much more like RC Pro-Am than Micro Machines

All N64 Games #245: Fighter Destiny 2
No, there isn’t a typo in the title of the game. For some copyright reasons, the “s” had to be dropped from the Fighters Destiny name.

All N64 Games #244: NFL Quarterback Club 2000
I have no idea what happened here. I enjoyed the previous Quarterback Club, but this one just feels completely wrong.

All N64 Games #243: Re-Volt
Re-Volt is a kart-style racer where you race RC cars across various locations, such as a supermarket, street, museum, a toy store or a massive kid’s room.
