N64 'rental exclusive' games

[LinkNZ]

Hey does anyone have a list of the N64 games that were only available to rent out/weren't available for purchasing at stores?

I know there were a few of them, NFL Blitz Special Edition and that Beast Wars game but I've never seen a definitive list.

Cheers!

There is still some debate as to whether or not Beast Wars was always a BB exclusive.

The others are Track & Field and something else that slips my mind at the moment. Fuck it, I've got them all, I'm happy.

BTW, the rarest one seems to be Clay Fighter Scupltors Cut. I need one in good shape.

I am a very proud owner of Clayfighter Scuplter's Cut,it has all the blockbuster stickers on it,but I dont bother to take them off,since Blockbuster is the only place you could get it anyways. :D

Cool thanks for that, so far I've got Indiana Jones, Beast Wars and I think the Track & Field game. I've always been a bit of a N64 nut so ever since I started the 'collecting' side of things the rental onlys have been high on my to acquire list.

I'll get there eventually! :D

I've got every N64 game released domesticly... Clay Fighter Sculptors Cut seems to be the rarest of the bunch. I had no problems locating any of the 300 or so games within a 20 mile radius of my house, and I'm not even in a major metroplian area or anything. It's an easy system to put together. With the DC, I had to hit a couple online stores before I completed it.

Resident Evil 2 (N64) was only released as a rental here in Australia. I saved up the bucks and then found out it was a rental only, available exclusively through Blockbuster. I was ever so pissed. I know this isn't really relevent - I'm just having a whinge.

Here's your complete list, in order of difficulty to find:

1. Clayfighter 63 1/3: Sculptor's Cut (Blockbuster excl.) - this is the hardest exclusive to find, mostly because of it's age. It was released towards the beginning of the N64 lifespan. In my opinion (and others), it is THE hardest N64 title to find. Not that any of them are incredibly hard to find. It rarely comes up on eBay.

2. International Superstar Soccer 2000 (Retailer exlusive) - at first, this title was thought to be a Blockbuster exclusive, but I have retail sources who were able to order this title new (at the time of it's release). Regardless, it was still an exclusive of sorts, and released later in the N64 lifespan. Difficult to find, but not impossible. I have an easier time finding it NEW, than loose - it's actually a great soccer game.

3. Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine (Blockbuster & LucasArts Exclusive) - this was available for rent/sale at Blockbuster, and for sale through the LucasArts online store. Not too terrible to find, but getting a complete one can be a challenge.

4. Stunt Racer 64 (Blockbuster exclusive) - older release, somewhat tough to find complete
5. International Track & Field 2000 (Blockbuster exclusive)
6. Razor Freestyle Scooter (Blockbuster exclusive)
7. NFL Blitz Special Edition (Blockbuster exclusive)
8. Transformers Beast Wars - Transmetals (Blockbuster exclusive)

The last 4 aren't really hard to find at all - they were all released in mass quantities, and can easily be found.

One other note to clarify - Razor Freestyle Sooter and the Transformers game are DEFINITELY BLOCKBUSTER EXCLUSIVES. They are the only games out of the list above that actually have the Blockbuster logo and "Exclusive" designation on the box the game comes in.

Any questions, let me know.

Hope this helps.

Thats right,I remember now.Indiana Jones was also available for sale on the LucasArts website.This is was probably your best bet of getting one complete in the box. :-D

there are 2 versions of transformers, one with the BB exclusive logo on the Box, and another sold at retail without the logo.
