Road Rash 64
In the Road Rash series, Road Rash 64 is a bit of an odd one. This one wasn’t developed or published by EA, instead being made by Pacific Coast Power & Light (a really odd name for a gaming company) and published by…
NASCAR 2000
There really isn’t much to say about this so I’ll keep it short. This is a slightly better version of NASCAR 99. It’s still very much the same game and there aren’t many more features. The most noticeable difference to me was the…
Premier Manager 64
Premier Manager 64 is the only English football management game on N64, based off Premier Manager Ninety Nine on PC/PS1. That said, this gave me more of an appreciation for J.League Tactics Soccer, as it’s an immensely more interesting game than this. The…
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. The completely lifeless and dull Ed was even made by the designer of Rayman. Tonic Trouble seems like it…
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. Shadow Man also got a wonderful remaster treatment from…
Madden NFL 2000
In a year where NFL Quarterback Club dropped the ball, a simple release would have been extremely sucessful for Madden. However, they decided to add a bunch of features to the game to make it their best one so far. A lot of…
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. The arcade game used a password system to play the game across…
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. From the censorship side of things, it works much, much…
Dragon Sword (Prototype)
Dragon Sword is a cancelled beat-em-up style that translates the gameplay of Golden Axe and Streets of Rage into 3D. It was in development by Interactive Studios, but ended up getting cancelled when MGM Interactive decided that it likely wouldn’t sell enough copies…
Mini Racers (Prototype)
A game where you control RC cars through colourful environments, although it’s much more like RC Pro-Am than Micro Machines, as you race around tracks rather than over, under and around larger-than-life objects. There are a lot of tracks in the game (although…
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. Fighter Destiny 2 feels more of a refresh of the first game rather than a sequel. It…
NFL Quarterback Club 2000
I have no idea what happened here. I enjoyed the previous Quarterback Club, but this one just feels completely wrong. I did initially theorise that perhaps Acclaim Austin were focused on the Dreamcast version of the game (with the console being released a…
NFL Blitz 2000
A yearly refresh of a sports game. This focuses on adding more features more than changing the core gameplay (although I felt like it was a bit clunkier than the original). The biggest is that it now supports 4 players, making it more…
WWF Attitude
In terms of creating an atmosphere, WWF Attitude absolutely nails it. There are a lot of wrestlers in the game, each with their own intros and intro music – recreated in the game’s engine – and each wrestler even features voiced lines. The…
Rally Challenge 2000
Released in Japan as Rally 99, Rally Challenge 2000 is an arcade racer with a rally theme. While it is an arcade-style racer, there are parts of the car that can become damage which alter turning and speed. You can play in arcade…
Hybrid Heaven
Hybrid Heaven was hyped up a lot – while the PlayStation got Metal Gear Solid, Konami were also developing Hybrid Heaven for the N64 for its big action game featuring a complex plot. Hybrid Heaven didn’t perform anywhere near as well as Metal…
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. Then you start and you’re presented with a Mayan theme background and a few rules changes – ones that…
Monster Truck Madness 64
Quite a few people were involved in the creation of this game. Terminal Reality developed the original PC version while Edge of Reality ported it to N64 (they spent their first few years developing N64 ports, most notably the Tony Hawk series). Microsoft…
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, but it’s also extremely boring – but only because it aims to be accurate…
