STOP RIGHT THERE! Before you do anything, I know what you're gonna say, and before I say anything else!
MISCHIEF MAKERS SHALL NOT BE MENTIONED HERE!
Honestly, I'm sick and tired of underrated N64 game threads having the same 6 games every time, and mentioning games that aren't even close to underrated, like Donkey Kong 64 or even SMASH BROS. Anyway, because of this, here's a list of games that will not be allowed, because they have already been mentioned a dozen times.
Any game by Rareware
Any game by DMA Design
Operation: Winback
Any Goemon game
Beetle Racing Adventure
Snowboard Kids 1 or 2
This'll be a fun game of trying to find good N64 games that are not the ones everyone talks about (on different levels). Alright, I'll start:
WHY DOESN'T THIS GAME GET MORE ATTENTION?! It's Tetris, but with an extra multiplayer edge that should remind one of Panel de Pon. So, basically, it Tetris Attack with actual Tetris. Oh, and Disney. AND IT'S SO FUN. Interestingly, the music quality is surprisingly high, like, the same quality as the PS1 version, which is obviously a CD. And that's good, because the PS1 version never made it to the States. Considering that carts don't have loading times...you connect the dots. Oh, and the Game Boy Color version also is need of attention.
Huh, Disney has a record with good licensed games. Probably mentioned a few times before, but I don't care, this is a fun game based off of an awesome movie, and it deserves a few more looks. Basically, think Super Mario 64, but in normally mundane locations, and from the perspective of Buzz Lightyear. This game literally had me engaged in exploring someone's HOUSE, and it gives you the ability to shoot lasers at...evil toys...robots? Yeah, to say this game took liberties with the source material would be an understatement, but it doesn't matter. I would recommend the PS1 version, if just for CD quality music, but if you don't have one, then definitely pick it up for cheap. Just...get ready to lose to fRICking RC car multiple times and having to restart the level just to try again.
WHAT?!A Bomberman game with no multiplayer?! Preposterious! Oh well, Bomberman 64 exists for a reason. Anyway, this is actually a pretty good game. I'm not too far into it, as my younger self got stuck on the first boss and I haven't played it since, but it's still worth your time, I guess. I honestly just remember one level where Black Bomber was in a plane resting on platform and then flew away when I approached him. I kept on replaying that level to see if there were any hidden secrets that I missed, but I never found. Maybe it doesn't exist. Oh well.
So, thoughts? Any suggestions that I may want to try out?
