    Smile I just bought the Nintendo 64

    Hello!

    I am new in this forum.

    Just wanted to say that I just started my retrogaming collection buying the Nintendo 64, Mario 64 and Dr. Mario

    In the next days I'll look into some other games. I'd love to buy Blast Corps (seems really funny) and Wave Race.

    Bye

    If you have friends that are worth a damn, you must get WWF No Mercy. Just trust me.


    Although I hear Bomberman 64 is supposed to be amazing with multiple people.

    Congrats!

    The N64 is a great console.

    Many underrated games as well.

    If you can get the N64 Expansion Pack, get the official one. It's the best.

    Mmm, so it is really a game soooo good? I will surely buy a copy this Sunday! I am lucky because I live very close to Icarus Games and Jason, the owner of the place, has literally everything eheh!

    Get Harvest Moon or Yoshi's Story for your Missus.

    For yourself, I'd recommend the awesome StarFox 64, Goldeneye and both Zelda games.

    Thank you all for the great suggestions you are giving me.

    So on: Blast Corps, Bomberman64, Starfox 64, Goldeneye (I am not adding Zelda because I hate this title, sorry eheh).

    Many thanks to all of you!

    omg WWF No Mercy...that game is like...god's gift to the N64 for wrestling fans.

    If your girlfriend likes just all around fun games, go for Diddy Kong Racing and Mario Kart 64. Those are some fun games.

    Some advice for the collection (for the not so obivious choices)
    Harvest Moon 64
    Mega Man 64
    Majora's Mask (no it doesn't suck it is...different)
    Star Wars Rouge Squadron
    DK64 (with offical Expansion pak)
    Jet Force Jemini
    Diddy Kong Racing (still better then Mario Kart IMO)
    Body Harvest
    BattleTanx
    Space Pirates of Silicon Valley (so unique)

    That's a good start

    If you like games like Mario 64, the Banjo series (Banjo-Tooie and Banjo-Kazooie) is pretty good.

    I have to second (maybe third) goldeneye. That is one of my favorite top ten games of all time.

    Also second Mario Kart 64 and Mega Man 64. Mario Kart 64 was the reason I bought my first N64.

    Beetle Adventure Racing is a must have if you're in to racing games at all.
    Also, the N64 versions of Doom and Quake II are very good and very different from the PC games.

    Ah, this thread is making me miss mine...

    SIDEQUEST: The N64 was the only console/games I really regret selling to GS (then Funcoland)... I had a boxed Atomic Purple set with 6-7 boxed games (some good, some not as much). Traded it in, and watched them take the games out of the box and THROW the pristine boxes right in the trash. I had thought they gave higher trade-in value with boxes (something they used to do), but alas, I guess they had stopped doing that. Very tramatic experience even to my pre-classic collector self Had I known they didn't want boxes...maybe I would have kept them..

    ANYWAYS, sorry about that..

    Glad to hear you are picking one up, I loved Mario 64 and Wave Race back in the day.

    -Paper Mario, seconded, as it's the only 64 game I still currently own!
    -Mischief Makers, bound to be mentioned here, great little platformer by Treasure
    -Star Wars: Rouge Squadron, if you like star wars games, this ones great--i recommend having the expansion pak though, makes things alot sharper

    I also liked these back when they first came out, but I can't tell you if they've aged well or not, hopefully others can help on that one--
    -Rocket: Robot on Wheels (3d platform/adventure)
    -Snowboard Kids 2 (racing)

    glad to see someone mentioned Space Station Silicon Valley--always ment to play that one!

    Man, I need a 64...

    Grats!

    N64 was really a great system and Blast Corp is such hardcorp (pun intended) fun, definetily a classic and one of all time best! Getting all plats is a feat!

    Ill throw in 3 that I think are worth picking up just from top of head:








    Oh and Mario 64 is the best on the N64 with the N64 controller, from my experience no emulation or even the DS version has compared, it's obvious it was tailored for that controller. Peace, have fun.

    Yea Mario 64, zelda games, and 007 games are worth picking up. Perfect Dark, Jet Force Gemini, Hybrid Heaven, Winback, Vigilante 8, and the Mario Party games are all very fun as well.

    It's been said already but I MUST recommend banjo kazooie and tooie. They are great games and lots of fun gameplay.

    Every game can be enjoyable, you just need to be more creative with some then others.
