Bullshit, I played both games religiously when I was younger because it was one of the few games we had.

Nice exploration/fighting game (a bit like Gauntlet, I guess). The CPC graphics somehow manage to be less colorful than the Spectrum version. Good thing I had a green monitor those days! (at least there it looked ok).

One of my favorite platform games! And this one at least looks better than Spectrum version.

Basically it's an arcade/puzzle game, like 3 different games in one.

Platform / collect'em up game that I never seemed to get anywhere (got lost pretty easily). Great tunes though! I think sidplay plays the C64 SID file too fast though. Song should be slower, more like this:

The original Chameleon design is much cuter. The JPN version of 2 also retains said original design, while ours has the realistic looking one.

The original chameleon twist falls into that wonderfully bizarre first two years of the N64's lifespan when developers were simply attempting to feel out 3D design and experiment with the hardware's capabilities. I mean it's a game where the core mechanic is about maneuvering a chameleon tongue on a 3D plane and spitting shit out like kirby while you platform. The textures are relatively muddy and simple-ish, the art style swings a bit here and there in unusual ways, and the whole game feels like they really were just experimenting for the sake of it and managed to put together something kind of fun, while borrowing notes from SM64.

After 1998 N64 games became much more formulaic and predictable in structure, design, art style, and hardware capabilities as they learned what worked and didn't work (as well as aping the styles of more popular N64 games that had particular "looks")
