Title: Best All-time N64 Roms?
Post by: Zyyke on January 05, 2004, 03:14:00 AM
In eager anticipation of the new Surreal64 (with 1964 0.99 incorporated), I've begun to put together a collection of must-have ROMs for the N64 console to play when the official release is available. These are:

1 Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
2 Goldeneye 007
3 Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
4 Super Mario 64
5 Banjo-Kazooie
6 Conker's Bad Fur Day
7 Wave Race 64
8 Mario Tennis 64
9 Mario Golf
10 Blast Corps
11 Donkey Kong 64
12 Beetle Adventure Racing
13 WWF No Mercy
14 1080° Snowboarding
15 Star Fox 64
16 Turok: Dinosaur Hunter
17 Mario Kart 64
18 San Francisco Rush 2049
19 Extreme-G
20 Ridge Racer 64

As I never was a N64 owner, I am sure that I have missed or overlooked some "gems" among all the games that are available. What do you think belongs on this list - or doesn't?

Where is:I have my doubts about a few of the titles in your list, because they dont work (well) on any of the three emulators listed as part of Surreal64. (At least not with the plugins Surreal64 has). sad.gif

Looking forward to the release though.

I am hoping that it includes some sort of "configuration save" on a ROM by ROM basis so that you dont have to tweak the settings between games.

Later

Apparantly it freezes when you choose solo mission, but it could get better when the REAL EMU is released because that will use a new version of 1964

Your thinking of Sin & Punishment, and yes it is great.. But no Bangai-O in my opinion.

i'm a fan of the multiplayer games.
goldeneye, wcw/nwo revenge, mario kart 64, the mario party series, and bomberman 64 would keep me and my friends up all night.  looking forward to this new emu so I won't have to have more than 1 n64 emu on my xbox anymore

Conker's bad fur day is one of the best games I have ever played!  Should be higher up!

Ed biggrin.gif

It isn't ranked ... just what I thought would be the best 20 games to start with. Might have to revise the list based on the feedback, thought  laugh.gif Not to mention when Surreal64 comes out, and we get to see the actual compability.

So ... any games that shouldn't be on the list??
And nothing beats "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis" for PC (or ScummVMx).

dont forget Earth Worm Jim 3-d its the most underated game for the system. Southpark is really fun also.

Sin n punishment is my favorite game for the system but I cant find a rom for it anywhere anyone know if one excists?

Sin & Punishment rom does exist but they're serious graphical issues with rice's plugin (even 5.2.0 which is the new plugin with .99 1964) it plays fine but the graphics are screwed I doubt surreal64 will solve these problems.

Bangio kicks ass but is best on the DC and Mishchief Makers was crap in my opinion.

Bangio also canes my 3ghz p4 with 512meg with a fx5200 so I think the xbox would crawl.


Pilotwings, mario party, Zelda OOT & wipeout 2097 are pretty special and should run well on surreal 64 if rice's plugin is anything to go by. Perfect Dark has serious graphics issues and is too much for the processor (I think .99 won't make enough of a difference for this game but should bring a lot more games into the playable arena)

I liked Zelda: OOT... going to play through The Master Quest on my GC one of these days.  Looking forward to Majora's Mask.  The only one I've not touched but want to play.

Although if Surreal64 had Netplay, I'd play MarioKart 64 more than anything.

I'd take Rush 2 over rush 2049 anyday, I hated that game.. with the wings and all.. it was annoying.  Rush 2 is still my favorate arcade style racing game of all time... well, next to need for speed 3

A really fun thing to do in rush 2 is to turn death mode on, this makes it so that whenever a car (including your own) blows up and can not respawn.  This makes the games into a high speed destruction derby which is hella fun.  The current emulators have some graphic issues but I'm sure it will run very smoothe on the new emulator.

I bought a N64 ONLY for DOOM 64 as well, then I ended up HATING the controllers so I dumped the system, and kept the cart and added it to my MASSIVE collection of DOOM memorbilia.

A couple of other titles that were definatly kool were:

Rayman 2 (better on the Dreamcast though)
Mario 64
Zelda OOT
Paper Mario
Yoshii's Story (short and simple but a MUST for any Yoshi's Island fan)
Gex
Banjo K and T
F-Zero
Super Smash Bros.
Forsaken
Duke 3D
Daikatana
Mario Kart
Diddy Kong Racing
Starfox
Quest 64
Megaman Legends
Earth Worm Jim (what can I say I like toilet humor even at the age of 29).
Batman Beyond (just kidding this game blows ass, though the cartoon rox)
I would like to say both Castlevanias but, well you know.
Starwars anything even if it sux smile.gif
Killer Instinct Gold
Mario Party
Super Lesbian Quest
Ogre Battle 64
Quake II (it's not the same as the PC, worth a go)
Resident Evil 2 (if only this were Alone In The Dark 1)
Shadowgate 64
South Park (both games)
Tetrisphere
Zelda Master Quest
Turok (not NEAR as good as the XBOX one, but hey they are FPS')
Vigilante 8 (once again, EVERYTHING was better on Dreamcast)
Impossible Mission


And the final two which I doubt we'll ever see run on the XBOX, but who knows I've not even tested them yet:


Conker's Bad Fur Day
Perfect Dark


So what Public Domain roms are good...

...wait new topic!!

hey...conker runs well in the buggy surreal 1.1 with a little skippy sound. and some error bitmaps... like the carrots in the first scene.

but surreal v2 pics showed the carrots...and a perfect dark pic.

so dont doubt it... the xbox runs them.

and again...i should say...paper mario rocks. along with megaman legends NOT 64. ocarina, majora´s , mario 64, even that mickey usa speedway is very fun.
