All N64 Games #220: Shadowgate 64: Trials of the Four Towers

Wednesday, 14 Aug 2024

All N64 Games #219: Fighting Force 64

Wednesday, 14 Aug 2024

Some bad games are broken messes that have some interesting elements or features, other bad games are just badly designed and immensely boring, which I think is much worse.

All N64 Games #215: Star Wars Episode 1: Racer

Wednesday, 14 Aug 2024

LucasArts could have just rushed something cheap and easy and made a ton of money with a podracing video game, but they actually went to a ton of effort with it, and it shows in the final product.

All N64 Games #212: Pokémon Stadium

Wednesday, 14 Aug 2024

One of my strangest gaming choices as a kid was picking Pokémon Stadium. I enjoyed the show, but I wasn’t a fan of the Game Boy games. The problem with Stadium is that it’s mainly a companion piece for Red, Blue and Yellow.

All N64 Games #211: A Bug’s Life

Wednesday, 14 Aug 2024

In the N64 game, Flik is a one-man army, a mass murdering machine that could have easily wiped out the grasshoppers on his own.

All N64 Games #210: G1 Stable

Wednesday, 14 Aug 2024

Unfortunately, G1 Stable is a Japanese-only game which is just too complicated for me to understand how it fully works.

All N64 Games #209: Bottom of the 9th

Wednesday, 14 Aug 2024

Bottom of the 9th feels like an early third party N64 game. It looks and feels incredibly basic. The N64 has had an ungodly amount of baseball games by this point, yet Bottom of the 9th feels like it should have been the very first one.

All N64 Games #207: NBA In The Zone ’99

Wednesday, 14 Aug 2024

Compared to the previous NBA In the Zone, this feels slightly smoother in terms of running around with players, which is useful as passing is pointless and running close to the net and scoring is the best tactic.

All N64 Games #206: All-Star Baseball 2000

Wednesday, 14 Aug 2024

So I was surprised with All-Star Baseball 2000 when I could actually hit the ball reasonably well, and it wasn’t caught instantly. I actually had some fun with it.

All N64 Games #205: NHL Blades of Steel ’99

Wednesday, 14 Aug 2024

Another ice hockey game, and this one is rather drab. Everything seems very washed out, and the “ice” looks like a strange mottled grey carpet rather than ice.

All N64 Games #204: Charlie Blast’s Territory

Wednesday, 14 Aug 2024

I’m going to start off by talking about a seemingly unrelated series of games: The Crazy Castle games. They started off with a Roger Rabbit maze game in Japan.

All N64 Games #203: Rampage 2: Universal Tour

Wednesday, 14 Aug 2024

In terms of gameplay, Rampage 2 doesn’t do anything to improve of its earlier N64 game, and it wasn’t particularly entertaining back then. It’s something that can be fun for a short burst in an arcade, but the novelty wears thin very quickly.
