All N64 Games #313: Monopoly

Friday, 08 Nov 2024

Monopoly is an atrocious board game. I’ve played many, many board games, and none are as horrible as Monopoly is. Most of the game is just autopilot – roll dice, move, do the obvious action (buy property/pay rent).

All N64 Games #312: Viewpoint 2064

Thursday, 07 Nov 2024

For starters, I do like how they used “2064” to mark this as an N64 name, it feels much more natural like that. I didn’t even notice what the game was doing with the name to start with.

All N64 Games #311: Mario Party 2

Thursday, 07 Nov 2024

I’m really not the best person to talk about Mario Party. I really personally dislike the board game parts of it, especially the roll and move aspect. That said, I can clearly see that Mario Party 2 is much improved from the first game in many areas.

All N64 Games #310: Bassmasters 2000

Tuesday, 05 Nov 2024

Looking at other reviews of the fishing game Bassmasters, it got a few high scores, but then IGN gave it a 3.1. Quickly reading a few of them, I think I know why: IGN had played In-Fisherman Bass Hunter 64, while the others haven’t.

All N64 Games #309: Roadsters

Monday, 04 Nov 2024

Roadsters is very much a refined sequel to Automobili Lamborghini. You can tell it’s built upon the same game engine, and many elements feel incredibly similar – including the very odd mix of realistic and arcade elements.

All N64 Games #308: Asteroids Hyper 64

Sunday, 03 Nov 2024

Considering that the original Asteroids just consisted of a simple black background with a white outline, it’s a very impressive feat that the N64 version of the game manages to look worse.

Friday, 01 Nov 2024

The second 64DD launch title was Doshin the Giant, a game that got a bit more attention when the GameCube version came out.

All N64 Games #306: Mario Artist Paint Studio

Friday, 01 Nov 2024

As this is the first 64DD game, I’ll talk a little bit about the device itself. It was an add-on to the N64 which would have provided a slot for a new kind of media.

All N64 Games #305: Worms Armageddon

Thursday, 31 Oct 2024

The PC version of Worms Armageddon is a game that Team17 have never been able to live up to. Many Worms games have come and gone since, yet Armageddon still lives on

All N64 Games #304: Armorines: Project S.W.A.R.M.

Wednesday, 30 Oct 2024

When Starship Troopers became a big hit, Acclaim wanted to cash in on its success. Instead of trying to work out a licensing deal, they looked at their comic catalogue and realised one of them was a sci-fi marine comic.

All N64 Games #303: Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness

Tuesday, 29 Oct 2024

Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness is a bit of an odd game. It’s sort of a new game, but also isn’t.

Monday, 28 Oct 2024

Every now and then, a game I would have never expected to like will surprise me, making me very glad that I’m doing these playthroughs.

All N64 Games #300: Top Gear Rally 2

Saturday, 26 Oct 2024

While I’ve spoken about Saffire games before, their earlier N64 games had all been ports, making this their first fully developed N64 game (with their second coming out a week after this).

All N64 Games #299: Puyo Puyo~n Party

Friday, 25 Oct 2024

Also known as Puyo Puyo 4 (I can only guess that the ~n is partly due to Japanese superstitions about the number 4), this brings the core gameplay back to Puyo Puyo 2

All N64 Games #298: Bomberman 64: The Second Attack!

Thursday, 24 Oct 2024

While Bomberman Hero was distantly different to Bomberman 64, being developed as a separate project entirely, Bomberman 64: The Second Attack is a direct sequel.

All N64 Games #297: Space Invaders

Wednesday, 23 Oct 2024

Like Paperboy, this is another sequel to a classic game that annoyingly just uses the original name – although in this case it’s only outside of Japan, where it was called Space Invaders X.

All N64 Games #296: Nuclear Strike 64

Tuesday, 22 Oct 2024

The [BLANK] Strike series of isometric helicopter shooters was a big part of my early childhood, playing games like Desert Strike and Jungle Strike on my Mega Drive.
