But it's the N64 logo.

Oh I thought it was just a random picture
Never mind pic related

Tetrisphere
Hexen
Chameleon Twist
Blast Corps
Extreme-G
Space Station Silicon Valley

[Anonymous No.982682]

Hybrid Heaven if you like RPGs. If you just want some quick fun go play Blast Corps.

what kind of genres do you enjoy?

Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 is my favorite N64 game, but if you don't enjoy fighting games you probably won't enjoy it

Conkers Bad Fur Day is probably the game on the system that would have the most mass appeal

[Anonymous No.982687]

>>982684
I don't have a preferred genre but I did start playing Conkers and I couldn't get into it... Do I need to just force my way through an hour or two?

[Anonymous No.982697]

Both Quake games of course. Shadowman. Shadowgate 64. Kirby 64. What have you played before exactly?

[Anonymous No.982698]

>>982681
>Space Station Silicon Valley
looks complex man
>Chameleon Twist
that brings back memories. awesome game

[Zangief !!YG0uo46UrxQ No.982703]

>>982687

Nah, if you don't enjoy a game you don't enjoy it, I wouldn't force it, if you like strategy games Ogre Battle 64 is rather fun

[Anonymous No.982705]

>>982681
>Space Station Silicon Valley
Fun as fuck, made by the same people that made the GTA series and you can tell. There is one level you can't beat on the emu (I think), although you can skip it with cheats...

[Anonymous No.982708]

>>982676
If you haven't played Paper Mario now's the time OP.

[. No.982710]

Seconding Silicon Valley, it's actually really fun (and I initially thought I would hate it).


Also Mischief Makers, Harvest Moon, Pokemon Puzzle League, Conker's Bad Fur Day, and Mario Party 1/2/3

[Anonymous No.982713]

Star Wars Episode 1: Pod Racer
So many hours of my childhood went into this game.

[Anonymous No.982715]

>>982710
I second Harvest Moon.

[Anonymous No.982719]

>>982713
On that topic, I've never gotten it or Rogue Squadron to work on emulators, what am I missing? My googlefu is weak in regards to N64 emulation, I have the physical carts, but no N64 (given to a family member).

[Anonymous No.982720]

>>982682
>Hexen
made by doom obviously right?
Hybrid heaven looks interesting

[Anonymous No.982726]

>>982719
oh yeah me either and that game was awesome. also never got resident evil working on project 64

[Anonymous No.982724]

>>982719
What emu are you using?

[Anonymous No.982732]

>>982719
Your missing that it has a PC version you could just play.

Part 2 on the otherhand was Gamecube only.

[Anonymous No.982734]

>>982713
Also, if you've never played them;
F-Zero, Turok II, Army Men 2: Sarges Heroes, and Rush.

[. No.982730]

More suggestions!

Bomberman 64, Paper Mario, Quest 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Super Smash Bros, Kirby 64, Castlevania

[Anonymous No.982736]

>>982730
Quest 64 was pretty bad.

[Anonymous No.982740]

>>982724
I was using both old and new versions of Project 64, and another emu that I can't recall the name of. None of them worked with Rogue Squadron, and Pod Racer only displayed a part of the total screen (top left corner if I remember correctly) and I couldn't find a way to change that. Every time I try to boot a PC version of Racer, it just fails to boot, with multiple copies on an XP system and a 7 system. Tried using compatability mode too, just thing I have a faulty physical copy and a bad torrent.
>>982726
>>982732
I never played part 2, what was it like?

[Anonymous No.982745]

>>982740
Mupen64Plus can play it. Hope you have a good PC, though.

[Anonymous No.982752]

wait let me see what i actually have

[Anonymous No.982753]

>>982740
Good its a shame it was GCN only so it rather died in obscurity even though the Star Wars games on N64 were among its best and among the very few N64 games to not age like bottle shit.

[Anonymous No.982758]

Jet Force Gemini
Hybrid Heaven
Gauntlet Legends
Duke Nukem
1080 Snowboarding
Perfect Dark
Shadow Man
and of course the obligatory first party games, and or Rare games.

[Anonymous No.982761]

>>982745
Will look into it, is it a full system emulator or something? I openly admit I am shit when it comes to emulators, most of my knowledge comes from a childhood on DOSBox after recovering the hard drive from our 486.
>>982753
I never had the luck of owning a Gamecube, would it be worth looking into emulating the game, or is gamecube a bit of an >emulating console?

[Anonymous No.982764]

>>982761
It depends on your PC's processor.

[Anonymous No.982770]

honestly it's probably easier to ask what games NOT to play on n64

off the top of my head the list is like

>superman 64
>

thats it. thats all i got

[Anonymous No.982771]

>>982758
whats shadow man like

[Anonymous No.982779]

>>982771
Its basically a third person adventure game with a heavy story involving voodoo. There are weapons like guns and such. It controls pretty great, and has a swamp/desserty atomsphere.

[Anonymous No.982781]

>>982771
It is an action adventure game. You collect dark souls to progress like you would in Mario 64 to open up new areas, then you have to get tattoos and sometimes items to do things you normally aren't able to do like walk on coals, swim in lava, grasp fiery objects, and so on.

Has a voodoo theme and is a dark game.

[. No.982796]

>>982736
I don't disagree. I like it for the nostalgia factor.

[Anonymous No.982801]

>>982796
I never had it as a child, so I only see the bad. Though, I do see where your coming from.

[Anonymous No.982807]

thanks for all your suggestions
I'm playing this tonight... bringing back old memories
>>982708

[Anonymous No.982812]

Pokemon Snap and Rayman 2

Games other's recommended:
Conker's, Jet Force Gemini, Gauntlet Legends (last I knew the emulation for this was not very good however there's other less goodversions for other consoles.), Perfect Dark, Pod Racing,

[Anonymous No.982817]

honestly the post says "unexpectedly" then people are saying perfect dark, smash bros, kirby, 1080.
who is going to play n64 who doesnt know about this shit

[Anonymous No.982819]

>>982817
you might as well say a zelda game or mario 64

[Anonymous No.982834]

Snowboard Kids

[Anonymous No.982948]

>>982834
This. Despite the kiddy bullshit it was an amazing game!

[Anonymous No.982954]

>>982719
Rogue Squadron 2 on the Gamecube is also unable to be played on the Dolphin emulator unless you have a beast of a computer. Factor 5 really knew how to push hardware!

[Anonymous No.982960]

>>982732
The PC version is buggy as fuck and not worth the effort.

>>982740
I played part 2 just recently when my housemate revealed he still had it. We didn't have the GC here so I borrowed my mate's Wii. The game still looks great! I miss the V-Wing, though!

[Anonymous No.982973]

This shit right here.

>>982719
Just play the pc version.
It's superior anyhow.

[Anonymous No.982983]

question: mupen64 on linux does the graphics wrong for harvest moon, but project64 on windows it's too slow to run sin and punishment so what should I use to play n64 games?

[Anonymous No.983015]

>>982983
I didn't have any problems running Sin and Punishment on project 64.

[Anonymous No.983039]

Some of the less popular games:

-the N64 wrestling games are great fun with friends
-World is not enough is a pretty good fps to play with friends and the single player is pretty long
-star wars battle for naboo is great if you like rogue squadron
-mickey's speedway is great if you like mario kart
-micro machines 64 can be pretty fun if you like to collect all the cars

[Anonymous No.983146]

>>982983
Wait, are you using vanilla Mupen64, or Mupen64Plus? And if the latter, are you using the Glide64mk2 plugin?

[Anonymous No.983153]

>>983146
And either way, it should be playable, as long as you use Glide64.

[Anonymous No.983215]

>>982834
Isn't there another game like this where you hang glide and stuff

[Anonymous No.983525]

>>983215
Pilotwings?

[Anonymous No.983534]

whatever you do, DO NOT play Mischief Makers.

[Anonymous No.983801]

>Hybrid Heaven mentioned three times.
I am glad there are even more than I thought.
