This game was great but I still hate those stupid beetle cars. If only there was a ROM hack that replaced all the cars I might even like it more than F-Zero X

Just for fun, let me see if I can name over 10.

>PilotWings 64
>Mario 64
>Beetle Adventure Racing
>Turok 2
>Zelda:OoT
>Zelda:MM
>Blast Corps
>Boberman 64
>SSB
>Mario Kart 64
>Shadows of the Empire

That's just over 10, but aside from blast corps, I haven't even touched Rare's games. N64 had a decent library. That said:

Any cartoon/movie/comic licensed game that you didn't realize was made by Konami. Especially if it's from the early-1990s and in the arcade.

It goes on. Those guys had the magic touch with licenses.

And it was by fucking Beam Software, who wasn't exactly that good of a developer. Well, their track record was pretty bad, Shadowrun was only decent because it was basically a port.

>> No.1086808

Well for one, they were Japanese. They probably have little familiarity with the source material, at least with the Simpsons, while the other three were made with combat in mind.

Mission Impossible on NES was made by Ultra (which is Konami), based on the TV series; and it's one great game (although very hard)
