All N64 Games #238: The New Tetris
The “big” Tetris game for N64 starts off extremely promising. There’s a great opening video to a slowed down version of THE Tetris theme.

All N64 Games #237: Monster Truck Madness 64
There’s some impressive names in there, so it’s quite amazing that they’ve somehow managed to turn Monster Trucks into something incredibly boring.

All N64 Games #236: In-Fisherman Bass Hunter 64
I’m really not sure how much I can say about a fishing game. This one is certainly well made – and has nicely detailed graphics and a nice split-screen

All N64 Games #231: Quake II
The first Quake didn’t sell that well on the N64, as it was mainly just the PC version with slightly altered levels. Instead of ignoring the N64 for Quake II, id Software looked at what did work: DOOM 64.

All N64 Games #229: Monaco Grand Prix: Racing Simulation 2
With football games, you have the license-heavy FIFA competing with ISS and its “R. Gibbs”. It seems that Formula 1 games were also having a similar competition.

All N64 Games #226: Neon Genesis Evangelion
I know nothing about the anime of Neon Genesis Evangelion, but from this game I can figure out the basic premise: giant creatures are attacking cities, and humans have created giant robots in response.
