Battle Tanx is one of the few N64 games that I have fond memories of. While I don’t remember if my friends and I played the story mode, we played the hell out of the multiplayer mode. This is one of the party games that my friends and I played on the weekends. This gameContinue reading “Battle Tanx: A Great Party Game on the N64”

Nightmare Creatures is Good but not Great
Nightmare Creatures is one of the many survival horror games that were released in the wake of Resident Evil. The game was released in 1997 for the PS1 and PC, and in 1998 for the N64. I’ll be taking a look at the N64 version of the game. The information I’ve found on this gameContinue reading “Nightmare Creatures is Good but not Great”
Space Invaders: One of the Worst N64 Games
Space Invaders on the N64 is one of several 1990s remakes/remasters of 1970s and 1980s arcade games. This one is a little different from the other two, as it was published by Activision instead of Crave. Taito wasn’t involved with this game, which marks the first time they didn’t have a hand in one ofContinue reading “Space Invaders: One of the Worst N64 Games”
Asteroids Hyper 64: One of the Worst N64 Games
Asteroids Hyper 64 was one of the many remakes of 1970s and 1980s arcade games released in the mid 1990s. For some reason, Crave Entertainment slapped the 64 onto the end of the title, because heaven forbid an N64 game not have that! There isn’t much to this game. The developers updated the graphics andContinue reading “Asteroids Hyper 64: One of the Worst N64 Games”
Robotron 64: One of the Worst N64 Games
Robotron 64 is a port of Robotron X, which is an updated version of Robotron: 2084. I hope I have all that right, or at least close enough to be right. In the mid-to-late 1990s, there was a push to have updates to 1980s arcade games. A lot of these games had their rights passedContinue reading “Robotron 64: One of the Worst N64 Games”
Bust-a-Move ’99: One of the Best N64 Puzzle Games
Bust-a-Move ’99 is the follow up to Bust-a-Move 2. Much like that game, Bust-a-Move ’99 was released in the arcades a few years before the N64 port. What is interesting is that the N64 version of the game was released in Europe first, and then went to North America and Japan. Taito and Acclaim wereContinue reading “Bust-a-Move ’99: One of the Best N64 Puzzle Games”
Wetrix: A Good but not Great Game
Wetrix is a puzzle game that was released on the N64 in 1998 and the Dreamcast in 1999. This game was also released on the Game Boy Color and PC. It is an interesting puzzle game and has a lengthy backstory concerning the game’s development. It is always fun to stumble across a game thatContinue reading “Wetrix: A Good but not Great Game”
Pokemon Puzzle League: The Best Puzzle Game on the N64
Back in the late 1990s, Pokemon took over pop culture. It was everywhere, and you really couldn’t escape it. There were video games, trading cards, anime, and just about everything else. In 2000, Nintendo published Pokémon Puzzle League on the N64. It should go without saying, but this was an exclusive game for the N64.Continue reading “Pokemon Puzzle League: The Best Puzzle Game on the N64”
Magical Tetris Challenge is a Great Game
Magical Tetris Challenge is what I wanted from The New Tetris. Instead of being published by Nintendo, Capcom handled this one, which makes sense when you look into it a little more. It also has a better story than some of the other Tetris games. This wasn’t the first Tetris game released in arcades, butContinue reading “Magical Tetris Challenge is a Great Game”
The New Tetris is a Good N64 Game
Tetris has one of the more interesting stories behind it. The development of the game is much better than the game itself. Once the game’s creator got the rights to the series back, they started making more games. There were several exclusives, and we’re going to be looking at one of them here. The NewContinue reading “The New Tetris is a Good N64 Game”
