If you like Bangai-O, you will want to play the original N64 game though. Especially if you can play on original hardware with a real N64 controller and can play with the original control scheme the devs intended the game to be played with (d-pad for movement and analog stick for shooting).
It's also more challenging than the DC version.

I wouldn't really consider anything on it underrated. The library is small and fairly shallow, so everyone knows what the options are. Honestly most of it is highly overrated if anything. I guess Doom 64 is underrated if people just think it's a port instead of an entirely new game, and the Pod Racing game is pretty good, although the dreamcast version is better.

The N64 had 296 games, not "200 or so". The N64 is a quite popular console, though it's not "the most popular console of all time".That is not the correct way to use sarcasm, you don't just say something that's untrue, there has to be a point to it. However the N64's popularity compared to the PS1 has increased a lot over time due to the fact that it has much better games.

To be honest this is below the level of intelligence I'm comfortable talking to, at least without a handler being present.

A lot of N64 games were pretty rough around the edges, and weren't really held in high regard because of this. Likewise, some really had a lot of polish and attention to detail, and are regarded as superior. On N64 especially, this is often backwards.

Take Top Gear Rally vs. World Driver Championship. WDC has the superior graphics, high resolution mode, lighting effects, more tracks, realistic cornering etc. But, it's frankly just not any fun to play. I don't know why, but it's bland as shit. And I put hundreds of hours into various Gran Turismos, so it's not as if I'm opposed to a more complex racer.

Top Gear Rally on the other hand has terrible graphics, very few tracks, limited options, etc. By the usual objective measures it's the inferior game. But, it's far more fun to play. The arcade physics are an absolute joy, and the sense of speed when you nail the turns means that the game is truly thrilling to play.

Anyhow, a lot of N64 sort of follows this pattern -- games that are really period pieces, and would never be made today (a shitty rally racer with 5-6 tracks total and terrible graphics, for example) placed next to games which are ostensibly more modern and polished, but aren't actually any fun, especially when modern alternatives exist.

a few examples;

Mediocre-but-fun
---
Top Gear Rally
Top Gear Rally 2
Quake 64
Gauntlet Legends

Polished-but-boring

Donkey Kong 64
Conker's Bad Fur Day

Mario Golf is actually surprisingly deep. Kids would be bored by it, probably. It's also pretty difficult and extremely satisying once you get the hang of it. I never played MG back in the day, but I picked it up 3 years ago and was subtly impressed. I wasn't blown away but it's a really relaxing game to just pot a few holes. The weird human characters as well all add up for a pretty intriguing game.

And mario tennis 4 player is even fun to this day. I sometimes get 4 players of it with my buddies from time to time (difficult now because everyone's got jobs and all that stuff) and it's still a thrill, it just holds up so well and new permutations of events always seem to occur.

Daikatana: It's not Perfect Dark, but it is entertaining and fun if you turn your brain off. Story is entertaining, tons of weapons, cool environments. It's not perfect, there are flaws (ugly character models, control issues) but can be overlooked.

Quest 64: Fun RPG with a unique battle system. Would recommend the European or Japanese version for a better story conclusion. A lot of populated areas are hollow feeling, not enough side quests and if you load up on earth weapons you can tank through the game. Simplistic, but charming.

Paperboy 64: I'm somewhat reaching here, but it's a turd I enjoy. Bad graphical design choice, less than perfect controls, but it's fun if you like Paperboy. The added stunt mechanic is fun but wasn't fully developed.

That's an understatement. N64 had only 295 games released in America (out of 388 released in all regions combined). Out of those, over 60 were racing games. In other words, 1 in every 5 games released in American on the N64 were racing games. What shmups were to the TG-16 and Saturn, racing games were to the N64.

This game is the closest we ever got back then in games to the tone of those early to mid 90s action thrillers that you see rerun after rerun of on AMC now. Lots of suspense, lots of subdued fairly realistic action. The time limit established in the story is real too and affects the ending despite there being little indication of such which adds even more suspense.

The cover system is more primitive than other games that came after. But unlike something like Gears of War, health is not regenerating and health items are sparsely placed pickups that you can't carry with you. Thus getting hit actually matters a lot. And when getting hit the music even becomes more dramatic to emphasize just how much trouble you're in.

The cover system itself is simple yet functional and still quite novel considering when the game was made. The weapons are basic but almost all accounted for pretty much immediately. A handgun with unlimited ammo that's basic but nonetheless lethal, a submachine gun with a large magazine and longer range, and a shotgun with predictable spread that can be use strategically.

If this game came out on Playstation instead next to Metal Gear Solid and Syphon Filter I think it would have been more successful. If MGS is a John Carpenter movie and SF is a Mission Impossible movie then Winback is, once again, one of those daily rerun low fanfare 90s action thrillers: Quite good and capable of holding your attention IF you happen to stumble upon it.

Well it originally was suppose to have you sneaking around as well. That is why when you enter battles it just has a standard no advantage power meter with you often getting no power meter when you're trying to run away from enemies in a room. They wanted stealth elements so you could take advantage of sneaking up behind enemies and then getting a full power meter to decimate them or get caught while running away when you are found out.

Obviously the stealth elements in the level design are utterly scrapped, but they still kept in the advantage/disadvantage mechanics at the start of battle.

Mario Golf on N64 is more arcade though, and I guess it's kind of a spiritual successor to the original Golf on NES and Game Boy (I never liked the NES Golf much, but played the shit out of the GB one)

mrc - people seem to shit on it but I had a lot of fun when it was new and it is still fun

yoshis story - pretty short and easy but fun with nice graphics

those early games were really nice until 3dfx came out and n64 could no long do the latest games

No wrestling game (outside of the Fire Pro Wrestling series, which was Japanese exclusive at the time) ever really had a GREAT Create-A-Wrestler mode until WWF No Mercy. Before that you'd get something limited at best or just allowing you to edit existing guys.

>It's also more challenging than the DC version.
Why is that good? DC version is better balanced because it gets rid of the retarded shop system.

Also, you should emulate both so you can use a controller with twin sticks, seeing as it plays and is designed like a twin stick shooter.

>DC version is better balanced because it gets rid of the retarded shop system.
DC is not balanced, you start at full power and there's HP refills dropping all the time. It's made more accessible. That's not an inherently bad thing I guess, but if you've already mastered the DC version, playing the original feels more rewarding.
Also, nothing retarded about the shop system, it's quick and fast, and it's based on your performance. You don't really need to upgrade your shorts really, the game is still balanced even if you're level 0.
As for the twin sticks, yeah I think the game was designed for the N64 controller in mind, specifically the left-position (move with d-pad, shoot with analog stick).

Original San Francisco Rush has some unique physics that are fun as hell, my favorite racing game in the N64 after Star Wars Racing.

Rush 2049 has some of the best graphics in the console and really fun game modes.
