NINTENDO 64 APPRECIATION THREAD

[Zomboid]

Body Harvest was a lesser known but awesome game :O.

[executioneer]

NINTENTDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sixty four

i apriciate you

[Ninjavenom]

Body Harvest was a lesser known but awesome game :O.

fun fact: Many of the team members who worked on Body Harvest went on to form Rockstar games and the subsequent GTA series, which borrowed many elements from Body Harvest.

[Zomboid]

Yeah, I thought that the first time I played one of the gta games :O

[Cliff Steele]

yeah the team behind that was DMA design, they also made the platformer space station silicone valley, where you played as a small chip/robot thing that would take over animals, it was pretty awesome

Play it, live it, love it.

[DuFresne]

I tried playing Jet Force Gemini recently, but had trouble getting readjusted to the controls. Dual-sticks and keyboard-mouse combos have spoiled me. :(

[timrpgland]

Interesting fact, GTA1 came out before Body Harvest.

Body Harvest was fun for a while.

[Zomboid]

Interesting fact - I meant gta3 reminded me of body harvest.

[EisigerBiskuit]

Interesting fact: I got a PS1 when it first came out. I then saw commercials for Starfox and Mario 64, and looked at my one lame shmup game. I cried.

[Fathom Zero]

NFL Blitz 2000 was was better with the single joystick, IMHO.

[Microshock]

So i wanted to play super mario 64 ds a week ago. so im not gonna pull my n64 out of the closet. I head over and steal it from my friends house.

i play and i realize that everything they put in it fucked up the game.
Not just mario. mario, luigi, yoshi and motherfucking wario

to break this brick. head up to the princess's room and get wario!

oh yea! u dont have wario! sorry : (

i throw the game back in my friends face

Well, actually he caught it in my ds and took it back but i wouldnt keep that piece of crap anyway.

[Supafly345]

Interesting fact: you guys seem too proud of out videogame knowledging eachother

Shut up, nintendork. You're not even old enough to know what an N64 is.

To me, it was the pinnacle of multiplayer gaming; offering up things like Goldeneye, Rampage, NFL Blitz, Mario Kart, Gauntlet Legends and the like.

[Zomboid]

Oh fuck gauntlet legends was fun. I brought my n64 and that game over to a buddy's house when we were like 12 and played for a loooong time :(

Interesting fact: I usually used the warrior character.

[Fathom Zero]

I was all over the archer until I unlocked the jackal.

I remember playing and beating the final boss, only to find I had to collect all of the rune stones to get to the real endgame. FUCK.

[timrpgland]

interesting fact: Starcraft 64 and Quake II are highly underrated N64 ports/games.

another interesting fact: I'm totally wasted right now.

[Zomboid]

interesting fact: I never figured tim for the type that'd be drunk, much less post while drunk :O

[timrpgland]

Interesting fact: that's why I have a high paying job... Assume the unassuming...

Interesting fact: I really feel like playing Ogre Battle 64 again....

[timrpgland]

Interesting fact: I double posted...

Interesting fact: I should finish Earthbound first.

Interesting fact: I forgot to mention Harvest Moon 64 in the other thread, one of my favs.

Interesting fact: GW actually has a good opinion on one game... Mischief Makers

Interesting fact: We have Goemon fans here...

Interesting fact: The Nintendo 64 was/is cool.

Fun fact: I should go to bed.

[kahljorn]

0gre battle 64 was cool but i could never get it to work well enough in a n64 emulator.

[Lastpatriot]

Goemon's Great Adventure. Holy hell, I spent so much time playing that...

[Girl Drink Drunk]

Shut up, nintendork. You're not even old enough to know what an N64 is.

:lol Nintendork:lol

[Fathom Zero]

Hey guys, I may be getting a Wii this month and if I do, I'll be getting Pokemon Battle Revolution because I'm like that.

Will the virtual console replace my N64?

Find out next week. Back to the N64.


So, has anybody been to any Goldeneye tourneys?

[Cliff Steele]

man i love both the goemon games

fathom im addicted to virtual console, i can't quit buying :(

[MarioRPG]

Body Harvest was a lesser known but awesome game :O.
But hard. I bought it and it took freaking forever for me to beat Greece. :x

[timrpgland]

The N64 has a sexy design.

Star Fox 64 is so awesome except the multiplayer isn't the greatest. I've grown to hate vibrating controllers but will still use the rumble pack for this game.

I think my friend who moved to ND has my Banjo Kazooie cart. I'm pretty sure I loaned it to him. I have the box and book but I couldn't find the cart anywhere. I hate that.

Super Mario 64 is my favorite mario game of all time..... I get hell for that.

[Rongi]

I AGREE WITH ALL CHOICES MADE

But no one said anything about chameleons. i loved that game

[Divisible by Waffle]

Ocarina of Time was godly when I first played it, but it got old after awhile. Anymore, I just pull out my gold cartridge and see how many glitches I can fuck around with before I put it away again.

[Zomboid]

But hard. I bought it and it took freaking forever for me to beat Greece. :x
Greece was easy compared to some stages. Java was a bitch and Russia was even worse.

[MarioRPG]

Greece was easy compared to some stages. Java was a bitch and Russia was even worse.

You're probably right, but I was just filled with energy after I finished that level. My best memory from that game was in Java (I'm pretty sure). You had to get into some government area and I couldn't figure out how. So I got in a hovercraft and went to a nearby hill, then I turned my back to the installation and shot my elephant gun. The physics of the game shot me airbone (and flipped a bunch of times) and I think I landed in the middle of a bunch of aliens.

I don't know why people said that game was bad :(
EDIT: Aw fuck now I know how I'm spending my Saturday.

Chameleon Twist was fun. Useless anecdote: I learned the word "urn" from that game.

[Lenor]

*Not to Intrude on Zomboid's Thread*

I have to give much thanks to Nintendo 64's 'Mario Tennis' and 'Mario Kart'. Both of Which gave my friends and I something to do on those rainy afternoons, when it was too cold to be outside, or when we wanted to hold competitions.

Favorite game play: Who could screw who first in Mario Kart's - Rainbow Road.

Worst game play: When starting to join in on playing Mario Tennis, I was horrible. There were always teams, being as sometimes ten of us were camped out in (namedrop) living room; waiting to play. When it came to picking who was on who's team, until I started to pick up some skill; No-one wanted to be on my team. :(

Yeah, I used that trick to get around a lot. I really liked the big tractor that you run over zombies with in Russia.

[Jeff The Ninja]

Man, i still have my 64 hooked up. Good times.

I still remember staying up til 2 in the morning playing Superman 64. I dont know why, that game sucked. But I think shitty games are more fun with friends. Even Action 52.

Intresting Fact: I havent beaten Zelda: OOT. That game pisses me off.

[MarioRPG]

So, I just finished Greece! Woo!
Also, I remember renting mischief makers and loving it, and now playing it makes me want to punch someone. I think I forgot how to play or something.

[Zebra 3]

Super Mario 64 is my favorite mario game of all time..... I get hell for that.
It's also my favourite.

[executioneer]

guys you know where i said i appreciated the n64

i was lying, i hated the n64

sorry for the deception

[EisigerBiskuit]

i remember harvest moon 64
one of the girls liked wine
i got her preggers and she kept accepting wine as a gift

what

[BlueOatmeal]

Blast Corps was a fucking awesome game, so was Pokemon Snap.

[DuFresne]

The world needs more non-Pokemon photography games. I've been saying that for years.

[Fathom Zero]

Fatal Frame, there you go.

I alway thought Pokemon Sanp was really fun.

[DuFresne]

I knew someone was gonna say fatal frame. Yes I know that it's a photography game that exists and doesn't have pokemon in it, but that doesn't mean don't still need more, does it? :x

[Fathom Zero]

Dead Rising, too.

[MarioRPG]

i remember harvest moon 64
one of the girls liked wine
i got her preggers and she kept accepting wine as a gift

what

That's the game that got me on the Harvest Moon series. And then I got AWL and was like WTF? (as in: "Where's the fun?")

[Zomboid]

Yeah, same here. I played the shit out of the n64 one and skipped school to play it all day a few times when it first came out. I expected awl to be even better but it kinda sucked and I only played it for about 20 minutes.

[Emu]

I liked Hexen

[timrpgland]

I recently bought Aidyn Chronicles off my brother. I always wanted to get it but he had it. Reviews were bad. Anyone play it? Worst N64 game ever?

[Fathom Zero]

Dear god, do you like pain?

That game is ass.

[MarioRPG]

I remember there was a game called MACE or something, and I remember the skull guy was awesome to look at. I also remember playing for 1 round and that was it.

I just remembered how great this console is :<

[kahljorn]

do any of you guys use n64 emulators?

[Guitar Woman]

I did once, but it didn't work too well. For whatever reason it can't display 2.5D objects properly, and it's impossible to set your keyboard up to where it's as convenient as that crazy controller, and it runs really slow, and a bunch of other annoying shit. It's better to just buy games and actually play them on your N64.

[Fathom Zero]

On the Xbox, bitch.

That's where emulation is at.

[gimmidamonii]

I tried Conker on N64Emu. Keyboard Nftw, in fact, ftL, when it comes to emulating consoles.

[kahljorn]

I really wanted to play and beat ogre battle 64 for free :O

[Guitar Woman]

On the Xbox, bitch.

That's where emulation is at.
Ok SevenForce but not all of us are nerds who know how to install linux on our xboxes

[Fathom Zero]

Yeah, weeeeelll I'm laughing all the way to the full-speed emulation bank on this one.

[timrpgland]

This needs more real N64 appreciation.



With boxes

Carts, some the same as above if not in box above.

[kahljorn]

so if you install linux on a system you can't play xbox games anymore, right?

does it just use a linux emulator that is superior to windows emulators? If i installed a copy of linux on my computer could it run the same emulator?

[Fathom Zero]

No, you can still play xbox games.

[kahljorn]

oh, awesome. so does it just use a linux emulator?

[Fathom Zero]

Naw, it's a special version of linux that is built using microsoft's Xbox files. That's what allows you to keep playing the Xbox games. It's just Linux added onto the core.

[Angryhydralisk]

The N64. The one system everyone, their moms, and their family pets owned.

I have a lot of good memories of this system, most notably of the following games:

WCW/NWO Revenge (Which really stood out as a superior game to the shit Akklame was putting out with the WWF games.)
Starcraft 64 (The first time I played I thought Overlords could attack and sent like, 20 of them against the enemy. Somehow I did better that game than my friend, who lives for that game.)
Star Fox 64 (The first N64 game I had.):rock
Smash Bros. (It never gets old. Well, until you play the other one.)
Diddy Kong Racing (For being the shittiest N64 game I played outside of Pokemon Snap)
Goldeneye (I'd play a Goldeneye tourney over Halo anytime.)
Turok (For suckinjg and being cool at the same time. The glitch in Rage Wars was so gay.)
Duke Nukem (Forever!)
Rainbow Six (For being another good port. Those games are fun in a realistic sense.)
Clayfighter 63 1/3 (For fucking up three franchises at once, something I'd have thought impossible.

[kahljorn]

oh, that's cool :O

what i meant, though, is what kind of n64 emulator does it use? is it just a linux n64 emulator, or is it special? Could I just install linux and the emulator on my computer and get the same performance?

Have you tried ogre battle 64 on your n64 emulator?

[Fathom Zero]

Well, it depends on how much RAM you have on your computer.

The XBox is a glorified computer, but it has far less processes running, so it's 64 MB of RAM can go a long way.

And most emulators are made using the illegal-to-distribute Xbox Dev Kit. It's native Xbox applications, no Linux involved.

And I haven't tried Ogre Battle. I need to hook everything back up so I can transfer files from the Comp. to the Xbox. It involves FTP and networks and all sorts of bass-ackwards jury-rigging to do it.

[kahljorn]

oh damn that sucks :O

well if you ever test it let me know, I've always wanted to play that game and all the emulators ive tried run it like shit.

[Fathom Zero]

I'll remember.

[kahljorn]

thanks dude ;D

[Fathom Zero]

Were you thinking about modding your Xbox before this?

I would because there's not much use for an unmodded one what with the lack of support and the 360 being out.


Anyways, best cheat code ever; The code to unlock the Cadillac in Star Wars: Rogue Squadron.

[kahljorn]

actually, yea, I had considered modding it since I don't really use it all that often. I kind of get worried about ruining it, though.

it would also be really cool to have a modded xbox :O

[MarioRPG]

hahhaha, I bought Clayfighter 63 1/3. I thought it was cool.

[zeldasbiggestfan]

Next to Zelda, I played Quest 64 non fucking stop. I dont know why but that game was like heroine nintendo style to me.

[Seven Force]

Don't bother modding the xbox soley for N64 because its buggy as hell and certain games wont run at all. Goldeneye as one example can't handle the frame rates for multiple explosions on a multiplayer match. You should just get an N64 with the original games since they dont seem to be expensive anymore. That's what I plan to do anyway.

[kahljorn]

ah, alright, it probably wouldn't run ogre battle 64 ;o

[Seven Force]

I can check for ya if you want, but my point still stands :(

[kahljorn]

well, that'd be awesome. ;o

maybe ill get a n64 in the FUTURE

[kahljorn]

the problem with it from what i remember is that it doesn't load backgrounds for battles and other little things like that.. kind of throws the experience off, though.

[Fathom Zero]

Or you could get really into it and desolder 64 megs of RAM from an unused and or broken Xbox and solder it onto the board of the one you plan to mod.

I dunno if I want to do that, but it's on my list of things to do. Eventually.

Anyway, Seven Force is probably right. I only have Super Smash Bros. and Ridge Racer 64 on mine, so I dunno how Goldeneye or Ogre Battle would fare. But it can do everything else, including Sega CD very well and Playstation (with little idiocyncracies). In fact, the Sega CD emu will play the games on discs. It gives me a reason to go out and buy 'em.

Everything else is golden. Besides web browsing.

It's a pain in the ass.

Was there ever a MechWarrior game for the N64?

[kahljorn]

that's cool :O

can't you play burned xbox games as well? this one guy i know had them installed on his harddrive. it also looked like he had ps2 games but im not sure.

[Fathom Zero]

Not PS2, I believe. There's barely a working PS2 emulator period, aside from the one that's constantly getting upgraded. (They do have MGS: 3 and Kingdom Hearts 2 working on it though.) :O

But yeah, you can play burnt ones. You can rip 'em to the hard drive too.

That's why I have about fifty games from Hollywood Video on there.

[Seven Force]

Mischief Makers works but the text in the dialouge boxes look funky, although I don't know if its just the one emu that I use on the xbox. Of course if you know what to do anyway it's not a big deal. Bomberman 64 doesn't work much at all. Chameleon Twist keeps asking for a controller/rumble pak and doesn't go past the screen. I'm sure there's a list somewhere on compatibility on the N64 games on XBOX.

[Seven Force]

Or you could get really into it and desolder 64 megs of RAM from an unused and or broken Xbox and solder it onto the board of the one you plan to mod.

I dunno if I want to do that, but it's on my list of things to do. Eventually.


I'm curious as to what this will do.

[kahljorn]

you're probably right.. at this point I'm basically satisfied that ogre battle probably wouldn't work on it ;o

[Chojin]

Guys why is it so hard to aim in Star Fox 64

[Fathom Zero]

Because your youth and motor skills are slowly slipping away.

[Guitar Woman]

Guys why is it so hard to aim in Star Fox 64
It's not

[Guitar Woman]

Unless you are trying to play the game from the COCKPIT CAMERA ANGLE, in which case you are stuuuuuuuuuuuuupid

[MarioRPG]

That is true, why did they offer that?

[Guitar Woman]

I don't know. They also had it in the first one, and it worked a fuckton of a lot better, but it took so long to switch between the two camera angles that enemy ships would get a bunch of cheap free hits while you were just sitting there like an idiot.
