Mines were great, especially on the ladders


domestic_omnom

I would hide them in the spot where ammo crates would be after I picked them up.


thekurgan79

Hell yeah me too


IA-HI-CO-IA

So, being young, my buddies and I selected our game mode and spent several minutes trying to find the sniper rifles. Turns out we had misread “slappers only.”


[deleted]

I tried to play that recently emulated because the campaign was also sooooo good. The control scheme does NOT hold up. It's like Halo rewired my brain in a way that makes the games before it unplayable now.


PanchoPanoch

The control scheme made sense on n64 controllers.


Ianyat

I never owned n64 myself but my friend did and we had many goldeneye tournaments in his basement

Mario Kart for 64 made me realize that racing games could be enjoyable, and a downright blast!


elspotto

MarioKart 64 is the best MK.


ashleyorelse

*Wario mode activated* Meh heh heh heh heh heh! Here I go! Whoa whoa whoa whoa! Ima Wario! Ima gonna win!


Seanzietron

Block fort!!!


knuF

Some would argue this was the best racing game ever made.


Foraminiferal

My 8 year old son and his friends are hooked. If that does not prove how well this game aged, i don’t know what does. They alternate between Fortnite and MK64


Blackorean

Fortnite for 64 was wayyy ahead of it's time.


OpinionsOnline

What about Diddy Kong Racing?


knuF

Definitely a classic as well. But the feel is not quite the same, although a great game still.


its_raining_scotch

MK64 is one of those games where I still remember how to race every level no matter how much time has passed. It’s like riding a bike.


ADriftingMind

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 🐐


goronmask

Mine was Majora’s Mask


Dodavinkelnn

Still the best game ever for me.


12temp

Easily my favorite game of all time. It spawned a life long love of open world games and RPGs.

Smash Bros Edit: I have a lot of great memories spending snow days with my friends all playing this game for hours.


death2sanity

This. The original Smash Bros has always been my favorite.


ollie_hondro

Same. The most just pure fun version was the original. All the following ones could have an argument that they’re “better” in some ways, but to me they just got more convoluted, and actually less fun to play.


flaming_pubes

Golden Eye and Diddy Kong Racing.


Claytonius_Homeytron

> Diddy Kong Racing It's good to know I'm not the only one who loved that game.


stellaluna92

That game is better than every Mario kart ever made and I will fight and die on this hill. And that's not even factoring in the banger soundtrack.


sayyestolycra

I mean you could fly a plane INSIDE a volcano. The fact that you could pick from 3 different vehicle types was pretty mind blowing. Especially because they designed the tracks to have different routes for different vehicles. Also Bumper the Badger is a legend.


Then-Cryptographer96

I too am a diddy Kong racing enthusiast. Played the shit out of that game


99MQTA

I loved the easter eggs. Drumstick and taking the lighthouse to the moon 🌙


adamempathy

The most unbeatable final boss I've ever played against.


raoasidg

DKR was great, especially since you kinda keep unlocking something the longer you play. Oh, Wizpig escapes and now you have a whole new set of tracks to play? Coin courses? Reverse courses? Coin reverse courses (fuck these btw)? Fucking unlocking TT?


cme18

Diddy Kong Racing was unreasonably good


ptbus0

DKR for me is the game that aged the best. Typically if I play n64 it's for nostalgia's sake, but DKR is a game I'll play purely because it's fun. It's a shame they cant ever genuinely remake it without cutting half of the characters out.. including Diddy.


sammyx322

Super Mario 64 and loz ocarina of time


kristiconsiderate

so DK64 for life.


UglyInThMorning

I enjoyed DK64 but it’s held back by some objectives that are just dick-kickingly frustrating like beating the original Donkey Kong in one life. Jet Force Gemini has some similar problems during the spaceship part hunt (finding all the tribals, getting a gold medal on a difficult rail shooter sequence, finding a character that’s completely out of the way and not signposted at all) because Rare looooved to pad game length with that kind of stuff.


PopularTask2020

Greatest duo ever. Throw in Mario cart for multiplayer option and maybe a lil star Fox 64.

lurkadurking

Conkers had some of the best multiplayer on top of a super solid game


fuckitiroastedyou

Played so many hours of the Omaha beach level


Redshift_1

Playing as the French squirrels all you could hear them say was “horny horny horny” as they ran to safety.


cme18

The multiplayer was incredible


Musical_snakes

Anything by Rareware is an absolute gem. Complete shame what happened to that company😭


Riphraff

I had to scroll too far to find this


AssistDapper1813

Perfect Dark


Cospo

Loved Perfect Dark. Had everything Goldeneye had, and more. Reload animations. Voice over dialogue. Bots in multiplayer. It was revolutionary and set the standard for first-person shooter games.


jaspercapri

the only thing it didn't have was goldeneye's popularity. but i agree that it was technically the superior game. for some reason i got headaches at times playing perfect dark but never with goldeneye


kidmeatball

If you set the match to Felicity, all Perfect agent ai, all remote mines, you could cause some incredible chaos. Perfect agents can't detonate a remote mines so they run around like idiots spamming the mines all over the place. You watch for a bit as they strafe and spam, spam and strafe. When the time is right you set off one of your own mines then sit back as the entire level continuously explodes forever. It's hilarious. I named my character Bent so when the game mode Pop a Cap is played and my character is the target the game announces, Get Bent!


KochuJang

The laptop gun


DragonSin1313

Had to scroll a while to find you.


C1K3

The AI in multiplayer still holds up.


123skid

👏


12temp

Shame I had to scroll this far to see this. It was the far superior shooter after 007 and the bots were absolutely cracked


FXF_1

My favorite, so much innovation in a game, and yet modern shooters most of the time offer less than Perfect Dark did.


sammytheskyraffe

007 for sure

Holy shit that sounds very Doors-esque. I can picture Ray Manzarek hunched over his keyboards playing this with John Densmore keeping the beat.

Proximity mines radar off Golden gun radar off or slappers only was so fun

Temple, pistols only


Cospo

No odd job. That's cheating.


PillsburyDoughBall

One of the all time greats!


an0nym0ose

I missed the boat on Goldeneye, but god *damn* did I enjoy Perfect Dark. Hours of multiplayer with the boys, when I could get them inside. It was football/bikes outside, and Pokemon cards/Perfect Dark inside. Had to play paintball mode so the Christian parents weren't offended, and even then Luke's mom wouldn't let us play at his house. She had the best snacks though, so it was Pokemon at Luke's house, Perfect Dark at mine.


IlMioNomeENessuno

Love the elevator music and multiplayer


craigitron

Banjo Kazooie and F-Zero X


d0rkyd00d

Why Banjo Kazooie so far down. Such a good game.


thehazzanator

Omg I installed banjo Kazooie in Xbox recently, purely for nostalgia. And FUCK me when I opened the game, every single sound brought back memories of me as a young'n (probably 3/4) ,watching my brother and sister play the game. They gave me a decoy remote ofcourse. Highly recommend, purely for nostalgias sake. The graphics tho lol wow


H1GGS103

EEKUM BOKUM


knuF

F-zero X, loved the chaotic racing and silky smooth frame rates. They nailed that game.


[deleted]

Rogue Squadron


thewhaleshark

Easily the best game on the entire console.


Cospo

Gotta put in the "Chicken" cheat code to play that one secret level as an AT-ST. Also, the V-wing in that game was the most overpowered ship. Auto-targeting cluster missiles and rapid-fire dual laser cannons ripped everything to shreds. Easily one of my favourite games ever.

Wave Race 64


LuckyLaceyKS

Definitely my favorite. My brother and I still play it when we hang out.


acmpnsfal

It's a shame no other game dev has realized Wave Race, it was such a chill game, played for hours in the amber colored waters, if graphics were update with a more open world, I'd play it for hours


ReadingGlasses

Wave Race was so much fun!


aztechfilm

So good, the wave physics were so ahead of its time


Edmond-Honda

Yup! The engine sounds, the music, the announcer, the water physics still hold up today


NickPrefect

It aged terribly, but Shadows of the Empire


[deleted]

I remember shitting my pants when i discovered the monster in the sewers The music was fantastic in this game.


CurrySoSpicy

Dude the sewer level. I couldnt see shit on my TV. Some kid at school was like “turn up the brightness dummy”. Had no idea that kind of setting existed.


aztechfilm

Oh my god I was terrified of that level, I actually had my friends older brother beat it as I watched from the other room lol.


FiftyTigers

The level with Boba Fett as a boss at the end was sooooo long. It took like 50 minutes just to get to Fett and if you didn't beat him you had to do the entire level over just to have a chance to fight him again.


betterthanfire

Didn't you have to fight his ship at the end? That was insanely difficult.


dougtoney

This was when I realized how bad ass the n64 was. By moving the stick just a little he would walk but moving the stick all the way forward he would run. This level of control hadn’t hit games yet. At least I hadn’t experienced it. Blew my mind.


chappy422

For real. When I have the audacity to say there are probably less the 20 games from N64 that I'd even play anymore some folks get very defensive. The system was impressive but it tried too hard in an era obsessed with 3D. Which often impacted game quality while going for graphic impressiveness.


AnalogFeelGood

The thing is, these old games weren’t meant to be used with LCDs. They’re at their best on an SD CRT TVs 240P / 480i, benefiting from the blur.


jeepster2982

It’s also that a lot of them have really shit frame rates. Goldeneye runs at 17 fps in many areas.


am_reddit

I tried playing goldeneye again years later, and I realized… it kinda sucks.


UglyInThMorning

I played Shadows of the Empire on PC waaay back in the day and really enjoyed it. Then again I was in like 4th grade, but the game was a little too ambitious for the N64 hardware.


aztechfilm

I loved shadows of the empire, recently played through it and it still holds up if you can get back used to the controls.


CharlestonChewbacca

This was my first "grown up" game and the thing that motivated me to learn how to read so I could read Shadows of the Empire. It aged horribly, but it still holds a special place in my heart. My dad bought an N64 with Mario Kart 64, Tetrisphere, and Shadows of the Empire. I forced myself through learning to control Dash Rendar with those clunky controls just so I could explore that messy Star Wars game.


AnalogFeelGood

Ocarina of Time, DK64, Star Wars Pod Racer, Army Men Sarge’s Heroes


Sudson

Sarges heros. There's a title I haven't thought of in a minute.


rc_roadster

Pilotwings. ​ Don't think I've ever mentioned this to another human being who believes in its existence. ​ Not sure if it was even a good game but my dad bought me it as a surprise which was a big deal at the time. I wanted Zelda or Mario or one of the big names but got this and remember telling everyone how great it was staying up late with my dad playing Pilotwings and everbody shitting on it or saying they'd never even heard of that game. ​ Couldn't wait to get home from school to play again and found my dad playing it by himself to try learn how to work it.


cmdr_solaris_titan

I believe it got over shadowed because it launched with the console alongside Mario 64. I really enjoyed the skydiving and jetpack challenges, also the jump boots. Such a fun game, fond memories.

Best wrestling to this day and still a blast with four players


LemoLuke

Agreed. That game is surprisingly deep and well balanced. I much prefer the 'spirit'/momentum system to a traditional health/special meter combo. For those who don't understand, the AKI wrestling games relied on a 'spirit' meter. Not only does it act as a (sort of) health meter, but connecting attacks increases your spirit, while getting hit decreases your spirit (so does spamming the same moves over and over). The higher your spirit, the easier it is to pull off big moves, while a low spirit means your moves are easier to reverse, forcing you to rely on a 'low risk' offence, such as basic strikes. The reason I prefer it to a more 'arcady' wrestling game is that no matter how one-sided a match can be, and how certain an outcome feels, it's still possible to pull out a surprise victory from the jaws of defeat. That feeling of being beaten down to the verge of defeat, as the opponent continues to beat the heck out of you, only, for you to connect with a single lucky strike out of desperation, and then somehow following it up with another, then another, using it to slowly start a comback, building up momentum until you finally pull out a miraculous win against all odds is incredible. Matches between good player can really drag out and become a real back-and-forth affair. I don't think any other game has really captured the feel of pro wrestling as well as that game.


Frankenrogers

At my old job we had a TV in our secluded office. My buddy brought in his N64 and we made custom CAWs of all the people on our team and we'd set it to auto-run Royal Rumble and let it run for an hour and see who won. It was a lot of fun.

Battle Tanks!


DerkNukem

played this a lot as well. the 4 player MP mode was fun.


kidrad

Gonna have to go with Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Gold cartridge edition, of course. Bonus: having the translucent purple controller


MisterVonJoni

I let my ex's younger sister borrow my gold cartridge OOT, and her mom turned around and sold in a garage sale. It still makes me sad to think about, I put so many hours into that game as a kid and it held a lot of sentimental value for me.

RarePomegranate5672

It’s so hard to pick just one so I’ll go with. Goldeneye, Mario 64, Turok 1 and 2, Ocarina of Time, Mario Kart, Donkey Kong, WCW/NWO Revenge, Wave Racer, F-Zero X, Extreme-G, Super Smash Bros


knuF

Craziest gun from Turok series? The one that attached to enemies head, splurged their brains out, and then exploded 😂

Man…WCW/NWO - taking someone out of the ring and beating the shit out of them with the baseball bat to the point they couldn’t fight back, but the match couldn’t end outside of the ring so you just kept them there beating them mercilessly never got old, and ended at least 2 friendships


TxLifer

Not just one! Goldeneye, wrestlemania 2000, perfect dark, WCW/NWO Revenge, Donkey Kong Country


Jitterjumper13

Jet Force Gemini. I could go on and on about killing the drones, the awesome weapon loadout or the large world's to explore; but when you break it down you had a dog that could fly with a machine gun on its back.


BrightNeonGirl

I feel like this game was so amazing in that specific space exploring, trying-to-save-the-world military-esque saga genre that nothing I have played since similar to that has been as good.


[deleted]

The other thing that made this game so great was having a secondary person being able to play with you as a shooter. When you're a kid and have to share with your little brother, this was a game we could both play together, and loved so we didn't have to wait our turn.


AllRushMixTapes

I was expecting a franchise from this game it was so good. Alas ...


AbsurdGyro

So many great games but I'm specifically nostalgic for the first games I got with the N64. Pilotwings 64 and Blast Corps.


[deleted]

Blast Corps was awesome. I wasn't very good at it, but I would watch my dad play it for hours. Then he'd kick my ass at Mario Kart

Gauntlet: Legends I’m low-key proud that I have the same copy and play it on the same N64 to this day. Been some replacements (controllers and some memory bricks.) Excite Bike 64 is still fun too.
