All N64 Games #62: Wheel of Fortune

Friday, 09 Aug 2024

With a score of 17% from N64 magazine, I was expecting something truly atrocious from this. Yet, despite the wonky looking graphics, it does a good job at what it’s supposed to do.

All N64 Games #60: Heiwa Pachinko World 64

Friday, 09 Aug 2024

Pachinko, from what I understand is a “totally not gambling” gambling machine popular in Japan. It seems to be a mixture of a pinball machine, 10p machine and a slot machine.

N64 Magazine gave this Japanese-only sumo wrestling a rather impressive 90%. Even so, I was surprised as to how much I actually enjoyed this.

All N64 Games #56: Automobili Lamborghini

All N64 Games #55: Diddy Kong Racing

Friday, 09 Aug 2024

Pretty much all racing games on the N64 so far have the same problem: there’s not a lot of progression for a single player. Which is where Diddy Kong Racing comes in.

Friday, 09 Aug 2024

I very rarely suffer from motion sickness in video games, but Aero Fighters Assault was so nauseating that I got a pretty bad headache as a result.

All N64 Games #52: San Francisco Rush: Extreme Racing

Friday, 09 Aug 2024

When I hear the name “San Francisco Rush”, I think of one of this game’s sequels, 2049, as it was something N64 Magazine loved. I never saw a lot of discussion of the original.

All N64 Games #51: Puyo Puyo Sun 64

Friday, 09 Aug 2024

My main experience with Puyo Puyo is Dr Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine – a game I couldn’t enjoy because of colourblind issues, so I was dreading playing this one.
