Same and Conker Bad Fur Day, that game has tons of content and the multiplayer is great fun.

>couch multiplayer

>on the n64

this console isn't really known for that at all though OP? Usually couch multiplayer is better on other consoles like the gamecube, ps2, Wii and other shit

I did have a ton of fun with Starcraft 64, and a lesser amount with jet force gemini with friends

>>14051585

Starcraft 64 was such a horrible port, it's not even funny.

>Unit portraits aren't animated

>Only a handful of unit quotes, maybe 2-3 per unit plus a taunt

>Zerg probably reused sounds, who knows

>Briefing screens weren't animated

>Awful controls

>Needed expansion pack just to play SPLIT SCREEN multiplayer in an rts

I did play C&C 64 first, then SC64, and RA for DOS as a kid, so I wasn't too picky. I did score SC on the pc in 1999 or so

>N64 isn't known for couch multiplayer

Nigger, wtf? A huge portion of my junior high school days were spent sitting around with my friends playing Goldeneye and wrestling games on this thing. You're nuts.

>>14051585

>this console isn't really known for that at all though OP?

It is

>>14051685

Which meant shit with those cartridges, in turn making most multiplats look worse on the N64. Most famously, Mission Impossible.

>>14051685

It was so advanced I could play my ps2 games on it

>N64 has a 64-bit processor

>64 bits are barely common among OS's now, but not among applications or processors

Truly ahead of its time

Now don't laugh, but my friends and I spent a lot more time playing the minigames in Pokémon stadium than we ever spent in the battle arenas

>>14051531

>I know it's an embarrassingly underpowered piece of hardware

Now that's just plain wrong. It's graphical capabilities were equal to if not better than PCs at the time of release.

>>14051531

Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie, Zelda (OoT and Majora's Mask), GoldenEye, Harvest Moon 64, Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2, Hey You Pikachu!, Yoshi's Story, Super Smash Bros, Glover.

>>14051682

Other than S&P, best N64 game.

>>14051838

>Glover

Acquired taste doesn't even begin to describe that game. You either love it or you don't.

It was novel and ambitious, but I couldn't bring myself to like it.

>>14051841

I never made it past a few levels as a kid, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. It was very unique.

>>14051829

>Babbies first 3D module with 4MB was better than 3DFX's 12 MB Voodoo card that supported SLI and could be overclocked.

I know your post is bait, but just in case some newfag reads this: The N64 was not close to PC performance in any category.

>>14051856

>3DFX's 12 MB Voodoo card that supported SLI and could be overclocked

How much did this cost around the time of the N64?

>>14051855

>random rental mischief makers

Damn you too?

N64 was a shit meme console.

>>14051865

Nice draw distance.

>>14051929

About as much as buying a half dozen N64 carts at release

>>14051865

Its true that the PC was a lot more powerful- we can look at a pretty direct comparison with quake 2.

>>14051531

Thinking of getting one in January since I start work then as a late X-mas present for my roommates. Gimme some good multiplayer games you can rage out with your drunk roommates on.

My list right now is;

>Turok Rage Wars

>Mario Party

>Smash

>Fighting Force

>Diddy Kong Racing

>>14051954

>The one on the right looks better and you know it. Better fidelity,

>20 fps at best

>better

It helps if you've actually played Thief

>better art design,

Nice subjective criteria.

>better textures

>blurry ass textures at 240p with liberal use of early anti aliasing

Vaseline filters over sub SD resolutions is not better.

Kids, this is why Nintencucks need to be lynched like niggers.

>>14051929

>How much did this cost around the time of the N64?

$220 per card, so $440 for an SLI system. Not that you'd need more than one card to beat the N64 in framerate, resolution, 3D features, etc. N64 games looked dated even compared to playstation games, which looked dated compared to PC games. The standard resolution on the N64 was 320x240, while on the PC it had been 640x480 for years and at the time the N64 was released many PC gamers used 800x600 or 1024x768

My older brother picked it out, probably because of the same. He also did the same with goemon.

Bretty good games.

>>14051604

>Tfw you were lucky and had a Dad into RTS.

Loved the older RA1/2 and C&C live action cutscenes as a kid. My brother was into it as well but he was more of an RPG fan with games like Diablo and WoW

>>14051975

>N64 games looked dated even compared to playstation games

Don't even go there, man.

>>14051828

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Though my older brother was the kinda kid who powerleveled his shit to 99 or gamesharked so we would take turns playing with level 99 pokemans and the party games.

I can't really pick a favorite. I had a lot of fun with the N64 with friends on their consoles.

>>14051585

Did you not have friends growing up? It was the only console that generation that included 4 player ports without expansions, so it dominated couch multiplayer.

>I did have a ton of fun with Starcraft 64

Oh, you just have shit taste.

>>14051954

Yeah, but I like that in Zelda you could actually walk on the ceiling of the twisty hallway, and it's even part of a gameplay mechanic where if you enter a room through a twisted hallway everything will be uspide-down.

>>14051963

He's just shitposting.

>>14051974

>Can't tell left from right

lol

>>14051828

It was a mix for me. My friend with Stadium didn't have the accessory for transferring Pokemon, so we just used rentals.

>>14051963

>platform comparison

>video is in 240p

That makes absolutely no sense given that one of the platforms supported 720p.

>>14051531

>most advanced GPU available when it was released

>embarrassingly underpowered

k then.

>>14052079

Here's your (You)

>>14051585

Mario Kart, Mario Party and other games were pretty much made for their multiplayer.

>>14052045

I know Mischief Makers and Kirby, but the last five panels baffle me. What is going on in this?

>>14052130

>not knowing blorf

new

>>14051844

This is how you spot an underaged kid who didn't actually play the system.
