Since N64 is my favorite retro game system I want to see your top 10 N64 games. I bet everyones gonna put Zelda: Ocarana of Time as #1

I'd probably put Star Fox at number one, I'm not sure on a overall list.

While I had a great time playing Ocarina of Time when it first came out, I would be the first to tell you that I don't think it's aged very well.

I liked more oddball titles like Mystical Ninja and Mischief Makers

Star Fox 64 would have to be number one for me. I can't even remember how many times I've rented and finished that game. Smash Bros. would have to be on the list, along with Golden Eye.Super Mario 64 and Shadows of the Empire rocked hard. Dang-I gotta think about this.

Actually for me its Goldeneye = Perfect Dark. Perfect Dark improved on Goldeneye, but it lacked the most epic thing, the golden gun. :p

Gowienczyk

Perfect Dark was just Goldeneye with an original story. Everything from the game engine to the graphics were right from Goldeneye, talk about uncreative!

Secondary modes on guns, better guns and AI bots (good for people like me with no friends).

I didn't even have that many N64 titles. I was a very poorly treated gamer.

However, what I can say is that my number one was actually Pokemon Snap, with Star Fox 64 a close second.

^3-D does not make it better. The 2-D graphics on the SNES were more clear and refined then the 3-D on the N64.

I had a lot more fun and replay time with Fire Emblem (first in US) then I did all the Smash Bros. games combined, so no, it is not the best game ever invented. Chrono Trigger probably runs a better bid.

I've always been fortunate enough to get all the systems. Don't really care what system it comes on , a good game is a good game.

Just so happens that overall the SNES has more of them I love to play.

Zidane

Didn't have money for the Sega CD


Genesis held up to the SNES just fine.


Maybe in 1993, but let's be honest it's an inferior system. The SNES has always had more solid games than the Genesis.

ParkerandtheDogs
05-17-2009, 01:26 AM
SNES is better than the Genisis like Mario is Better than Sonic

Renrock
05-17-2009, 01:27 AM
Most games on both systems were inferior on the Genesis. (and don't give me the , "But MK1 had blood on Genesis!") The audio quality was horrid on the Genesis as well.

Only category (IMO) it really kicked the SNES butt in was the sports games. Sega tore it up in that department.

Zidane

Although I never really found Goldeneye to be a GREAT multiplayer game because of the tragic loss of bots (even then) the game is nostalgic and the single player was fun. Destruction Derby 64 is terribly underrated, and Blitz 2000 and Wayne Gretzkys 3D Hockey are some of the best sports games on the console. Other games I loved include Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros., Star Fox, and the other more obvious games. And oh yes, Iggy's Wreckin' Balls. Damn that game was great as a kid.

Somebody finally put Yoshi's Story in.

Actually, a couple of people mentioned it already. To be honest though, I disliked Yoshi's Story. I guess I was expecting it to be as good as Yoshi's Island, which is why I was disappointed with it.

And I think I agree with the comments that genesis era sonic was better than SNES era Mario, but both were amazing, and SNES was better with most other games.
