/vr/ - Retro Games

Nice, party time!! I'm running through Ocarina and Wrestlemania 2000 currently. I would love a copy of wave race. I'm sure its insanely priced now though. What else are you going to play?

>>8872085
I don't think Wave Race 64 is that pricey even if its 1st party, but again everything is so expensive these days.
>what else you want to play
I was thinking on some Star Wars games due to that may the 4th thing, always had a soft-spot for SotE and Episode 1: Racer

So many great Star Wars games on the 64 (even if there were only 4). Rogue squadron, shadows of the empire (recently tried the pc version and it’s garbage in comparison). Battle for Naboo... I think the pod racing one is the only one I haven’t tried. Real shame we never got official rogue squadron 2 on the 64.

>>8872091
>its actually fun
multiplayer is a riot

>>8872370
the podracing one has a better port on dreamcast (closer to the arcade) - still a great racer though

Hey I know next to nothing about n64 controllers and my old man picked one up the other day and I had him send me a few pictures. He said all the buttons work fine but I have absolutely no idea how to identify a fake n64 controller.
Could anyone tell me whether or not this thing is legit?

are there any good storage options for n64 carts yet

Just last weekend I took out ol' faithful to play Paper Mario. I think that's my fav N64 game. It's just so criminally comfy.

>>8872568
usually fake controllers dont have the Nintendo copyright stuff and their sticks are really bad (either low quality imitations of the original or they use modern-style analogs with fucked up range zones).

>>8872568
It looks like the legitimate “smoke” colored controller. I used to own one, but I traded it for a gold one when I worked at GameStop. If it is legit it’s probably worth a bit.

>>8872571
Could always get one of these dudes if you have enough cartridges to justify the space they take up.
I've seen someone post some plastic repro cases on here that looked pretty nice. If my games weren't in the original boxes I'd probably be storing them in plastic tubs or shoeboxes or something.

>>8872072
I have. I've popped in Puyo Puyo Sun 64 and Pilotwings 64 a few times in the last month. I never seem to be able to get my fill of Puyo regardless of which version I play, and Pilotwings is worth playing for the soundtrack alone. Love my N64.
I think I'm due for a replay of Ocarina of Time at some point this year. It's been about ten years since I last played it. I still haven't played Majora's Mask either, so if I'm still hungry for Zelda after I replay OoT I might finally play Majora.

I found an old controller pack in a drawer so I dumped it with my everdrive and tried to look at what's saved in it

Turns out there was nothing, they have batteries inside like a game boy and those died long ago

Do the game cartridges have batteries too?

>>8872568
Transfer paks dont work

>>8873342
>Do the game cartridges have batteries too?
Some have batteries

The controller came earlier than what I was expecting and its working very nice, tried it with Wave Race 64, Cruis'n World and Star Wars Racer and I'm hooked again to the system.

>>8873342
Very few do.

>>8872568
That's legit. Otherwise it's a good looking fake.

>>8872568
looks good from here
if it was an ebay item of $70 or less id buy just to roll the dice

>>8872091
hidden gem. This in 4 players is so much fun.

Anyone know how to fix n64 controllers being a little bit creaky after reassembling them after cleaning? Everything works fine, but a couple seem a bit creaky when I put pressure on the arms.

Am I slightly not aligning something when putting the shell together?

>>8874047
Very nice. The translucent N64s remind me of these

>>8874281
And just to clarify the joy stick is fine, its the shell that creaks if you put pressure on it.. It’s not a huge deal and on inspection everything with the controller is fine, but just not sure if I am messing up with the reassembly process.

>>8874291
When you reassembled it, did you make sure to follow the original threads or did you just screw it back together? If you're not careful you'll cut the original threads and lose holding torque that way. Finding the original threads is easy, turn the screw counterclockwise lightly until you hear a click to find the originals, otherwise you cut new ones.

>>8872072
Cringe

It had 4 games MAYBE 5. stfu already

>>8874947
Stop seething about the N64 at least for over a minute, tranny.

>>8875059
but the n64 is loved by tranies and retards

i have a perfect dark cart that says "game pak full" even if it doesn't have any saves, what's the fix for it?

>>8875652
garbage

>>8872072
I've only had an n64 for about 10 years now and due to work life and otherwise I've only really just now begun to play it. I've been playing Pokemon Stadium 2 (real cart) on and off in conjunction with my Crystal version. Lots of fun. Also gave Pilotwings a try the other day and holy fuck that game is comfy. Playing it via flash cart however and my reset button is stuck, so I can't save my flash cart games currently. I know it's an easy fix, just need to get the security bit to open up the system. Truly I was wanting a new 64 anyway though so I'll probably do that first kek. I have a plain grey, looking for ice blue.

>>8875723
have you tried cleaning it from outside?
i had the same issue but I cleaned it with alcohol then pressed the button a bunch of times and it worked again, maybe blew some air if you can.

>>8875952
i'll try this evening, to be honest i just pressed it many times in vain hoping to break it loose and gave up.
>captcha:m4m44

>>8875964
try cleaning it with a cotton swab while holding down the reset button too.

>>8872072
Haven't in a while but N64 is the ultimate comfy machine. Should go for some Diddy Kong Racing again soon

bumpin'

best console logo ever

which games did you have and what order did you get them in?
roughly for me:
>diddy kong racing
>bomberman 64

>banjo kazooie
>mario party
>pokemon snap
>conkers' BFD
on my wishlist were:
>smash bros
>mario party 2 & 3

I probably wouldn't modify my wishlist if I went back 20 years

>>8878456
Got mine at release, I'll try to remember the order to the best of my ability:
>Super Mario 64
>Pilotwings 64
>Killer Instinct Gold
>Mortal Kombat Trilogy
>Wave Race 64
>Turok
>Mario Kart 64
>Shadows of the Empire
>Starfox 64
>Diddy Kong Racing
>Sub-Zero Mythologies (yeah...)
>Banjo-Kazooie
>Ocarina of Time
>Mischief Makers
>Blast Corps
>Star Wars Episode I Racer
>Super Smash Bros.
>Jet Force Gemini
>Pokemon Snap
>Mario Golf
>Majora's Mask
I think this might be it for my original N64 collection from back in the day.
I sold most of it, then re-started buying them CIB in the mid 2000s, now I have most of those back and much more.
Ironically I don't have SM64 and OOT (though OOT I have for GC on the MQ disc, and OOT3D), my only original childhood game I still have, CIB and all, is MM.

>>8878456
got mine in 1997. I'll try to remember the order the best i can. I mostly rented games and it was just when i started collecting around 2003 that i bought most games.
>mario 64
>doom 64
>tetrisphere
>chameleon twist
>bomberman hero
>world cup 98
>kirby crystal shards
>smash bros
>perfect dark
>buck bumble
>zelda MM
>zelda OoT
>extreme g
>san francisco rush 2
>conker's bad fur day
>gauntlet legends
>penny racers
>star fox 64
>excitebike 64
>goldeneye
>mario tennis
>mario golf
>resident evil 2
>007 twine
that's what i can remember. At some point in 2005 i sold everything to buy a gamecube. 10 years later i bought an n64 again and restarted my collection

>>8875250
You wish, axewound.

>>8878406
This, the PS1 and the Dreamcast are tied for me. They're vibrant, immediately tell you what console it is, and epitomize the time period they were made in.

>>8879418
you are proof

>>8879502
Proof of you being a tranny? No shit.

>>8878456
back then? not that many, most of the games i played on my 64 were rentals or games i traded for others once I completed them or got bored of.
I think my oldest games are Diddy Kong Racing, Mischief Makers and Mickey's Speedway USA.
Current collection isn't that huge but I have a flashcart so.

>>8879510
always in denial...

Rush 2 or Rush 2049?

>>8880152
this one

>>8880165
sweet ill play it on the n64

>>8880187
but thats the shit version, why dont you play it on the dc in vga with analogue triggers

>>8880187
Nice, I will too

>>8880203
because i have a n64, not a dreamcast. >>8880207
i actually never played this one, hope its good.

i'm playing lego racers 64, how do you save data? i have a controller pak but when i beat a circuit and asks me to save it says "save data not found".
Do I have to create a characters to create the save data?

No idea why Excitebike 64 isn't brought up more often, it's really good once you understand its controls and physics.

>>8882685
Somehow, this and F-Zero X totally went under my radar back in the day.
I got F-Zero X eventually and loved it, still never played Excitebike 64. I remember that the devs weren't Nintendo EAD and instead it was outsourced to a western dev? That kinda makes me worry about the quality, but I'd still give it a shot.

It was made by Left Field Studios, they did NBA Courtside 2.
It's not a bad game by any means but it takes a while to get going, but damn it feels smooth and fast when it happens.

>>8878406
i love when games had the logo spinning whenever they start.
bonus if they let you play as it.

>>8880187
this

>>8880152
IMO
Rush 2>ARC SF Rush>2049>SF Rush 64.

>>8878998
>Blast Corps

FUCK BLAST CORPS

>>8872072
yes, got banjo kazooie for cheap recently and played it for a bit, had a very fun time
also got Hardcore ECW Revolution, trying to find some time to play it, iirc it runs on the same engine was WWF Warzone so it must be good

>>8887030
are the acclaim wrestling games good?

Beat starfox 64 yesterday on Hard, easy and then normal routes. Had a great time but probably coulda have done better, finally got a rumble pak in and it was overall a great experience.

>>8890416
Eh, fuck rumble
but nice TV, 64 really does look pretty good on them

>>8872072
>Nintendo 64
the console Nintendo wishes they could erase

>>8890654
>if I repeat a meme enough, surely it will come true

>>8890654
I'm from the Northwest US and here it was actually at least 1/1 N64 to PS1s. Maybe one in ten kids had a saturn and it wasn't that relevant since the 64 in particular had the 4 player setup.

That was very big at the time.

>>8890416
i always go corneria>meteo>katina>sector x>macbeth>area 6>venom
I think last time I scored 1800 points.

>>8890654
I saw PlayStation games in Circuit City, but I never knew anyone who had one until around the mid 2000s. Every single person I knew up to that point had or was talking about the 64.

>>8890689
>>8890814
You people must come from some weird bubble dimension. Or you were like 4 and you're talking about your preschool friends.

>>8890820
I'm from the Southwest. Because the PS1 was apparently more popular even in the US, you'd think I'd list the opposite situation because I'm in a bumfuck nowhere state. Just goes to show you that the N64 was definitely not a failure except according to plebbit and YT.

>>8890689
>>8890871
>I'm from the Northwest
>I'm from the Southwest
why are you samefagging so obviously? are you even trying?

>>8890876
Prove it, tryhard. Why do you care about this popularity "issue" so much, anyway?

>>8890887
>this mad because his blatant samefagging was called out
>"why do you care" t.man who samefags in a n64 thread to push his minority opinion

I'm from the Midwest. I never even heard of the PS1 until this thread. Everybody I knew owned multiple Nintendo 64 video game consoles.

I'm from the Southeast and everyone plays N64 to this day. I think it's a law or something. What's a "Playstation"?

>>8890891
>>8890895
>>8890901
Actual samefag & console war tranny

>>8890891
>majority opinion is that the N64 sold nothing and no one knows about any of its games
???, plus why start this gay shit?

>>8890904
>shit, he caught me samefagging, I'll just double down and then claim that he's the one samefagging

I'm from Middle-Earth. Who are you people? What's a Nintendo? I hate wizards.

>>8878406
Yep. This and PS1 are absolute units. Love the 90's yellow and red and blue colours. >>8879485 has good taste too. Even though I never had a Dreamcast, the logo is cool.

>>8878456
Got the N64 with Crusin' USA and then in rough order:
>Diddy Kong Racing
>1080
>Zelda OOT
>Goldeneye
>Banjo Kazooie
>Pod Racer
>Rogue Squadron
>Mario 64
>Donky Kong 64

I always wanted Shadows of the Empire and the Mario Party games. Got MP when I modded my OG Xbox and recently played SotE although that game's controls are terrible now.

I'm from the Middle East. Playing any console other than the Nintendo 64 is haram. Death to Playstation owners.

>>8890921
>>8891010
t. Cringe and obsessed Sony tranboy still seething about the N64 unprovoked

>I'm not obsessed your obessed
>t.guy who deletes and reposts multiple times on 4chan

>>8878406

>>8878998
I completely forgot about one game, somewhere between Turok and MK64
>Internationa Superstar Soccer 64
Had a lot of fun with it.

>>8879360
You should have taken the flashcart pill. It's not even your original games anymore

i like cv64
