Stunt Racer 64

[kainemaxwell]

I think this was mentioned elsewhere but I'll ask. What's people's opinions of the rental-only game Stunt Racer 64 for the n64?

Far and away my favorite racing game on the N64. Some really, really nice and unique course designs with a fun-as-hell arcade driving model. The "high resolution mode" was unfortunately awful, though. What's the point of being in a higher resolution if you're just going to crop off portions of the visible area and make it a pain in the ass to race?

I'm looking forward to when it finally gets emulated so that I'll actually be able to snag some really nice, high res shots of it.

This is the first I have heard of this. Was this the only rental exclusive n64 game? Whats a good price to pay on ebay?

Other Rental Only games for N64:
Clayfighters 63 1/3 Sculptor's Cut
Cruis'n Exotica
International Superstar Soccer 2000
International Track & Field 2000
NFL Blitz Special Edition
Razor Freestyle Scooter

Seems like some copies have been failing to sell at $15... I believe I paid $8 for my copy and it was well, well worth it.

When blockbuster got these games did they come complete with box and instructions or just cart only?

*All* had boxes and instructions but much of the packaging was thrown away by BB. Instructions books can be especailly hard to track down.

Cruis'n Exotica

All the Cruis'n games were sold widely through retail. I saw it at TRU.

Stunt Racer 64 is an *AWESOME* game, unlike some of the other rental exclusives (Transformers, Clayfighter.) It really is one of the finest racers on the N64. I am really surprised it wasn't released but I guess the publisher just didn't see an profit in it. I LOVE this game. And it was from Midway... they could have easily used shitty graphics engine from many of their racers to power this game but instead it's a work of art.


Here's the complete list found by using the search function on this site...


BB Exclusives

Clayfighter 63 1/3: Sculptor's Cut
Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine (Blockbuster & LucasArts Exclusive)
NFL Blitz Special Edition
Razor Freestyle Scooter
Stunt Racer 64



Possible BB Exclusives, maybe not...

International Superstar Soccer 2000
International Track & Field 2000
Transformers Beast Wars - Transmetals



International Superstar Soccer 2000 was available at retail but *very* few copies were sold that way. Most of the copies you'll find are rentals.

There have also been claims that Transformers was sold at retail and that there are two boxes available, one without the BB label. The "stock photo" from Ebay for Transformers does not show a BB label but Ebay is not the best place for accurate info.

I also think that Track & Field was sold at retail... I swear I saw a sealed one once in a game store.

Clayfighter 63 1/3: Sculptor's Cut is generally regarded as the most difficult to locate N64 game, especially complete. Superstar Soccer 2000 can't be far behind.
