Wanted Revolution Downloads, Nine N64 Titles

Posted by Zonk on from the all-i-want-is-smash-brothers dept.

A GameDaily piece looks at nine N64 titles the staff over there feels really should make it onto the Revolution download service. They're quirky little titles, including a family-favorite launch title: Blast Corps. From the article: "In the game, you take control of a "destruction team" made up of this one guy and several vehicles that range from a bulldozer to a full-blown Transformer-esque robot, and you attempt to clear the path of a runaway missile truck running, oh, five miles an hour. If anything comes into contact with this missile it blows up, so you must clear the path to a certain point in the level. This means destroying ANYTHING, including cities, in order to assure its safety." What N64 titles would you want to see on the service?

    Which delayed the writing of my PhD for at least 6 months. 4 player, single shot kills action - still my fave multiplayer FPS :)

    I don't read your sig, why do you read mine?

      Or, you know, you could just get better at using a controller like the rest of us and stop bitching...

      GoldenEye's unlikely because EA has the Bond license now. Also, single shot kill is a dumb mode. Play with Hero (-10) health. A center mass shot from anything but a handgun will still take you down, but at least you don't die if you're shot in the gun while standing around a corner.

      What sound do people on rollercoasters make? Hint: it's not Xbox 360.

    Not many people have heard of it, but was definately one of the best for the 64.

    Perfect Dark. Hell yeah. I loved this game back in college. I would love it if it ran at full 60fps too. This is the best multiplayer FPS that I know of without networking. I think it would translate very well (maybe not with the reflex enhancing pills, or whatever they were). I see a lot of posts for GoldenEye as well. I think Perfect dark had an edge on GoldenEye. Even though the latter was still an exceptional game.

    I had a chance to play the 360 version last weekend and it was a pretty weak game. The controls were too loose and the game looked (compared to other 360 games) like crap. The game was on a 42" Samsung DLP Hi-Def, so I could see the game in all it's hi-def glory. Basically, everything looked like it had been coated in high-gloss wax, even Joanna's fur coat. The levels were horrificly un-original. Rooms were used over and over again. You constantly see the same wall. Without the annoying arrows all over you'd be lost without a clue. The gun models make them look like blocks of wood. The scopes aren't even circular.

    I miss the old PD...

    This sig isn't original enough, it's time to come up with something witty...
  4. Nine OBSCURE N64 games.... by doormat · · Score: 3, Informative

    I thoguht the article was bogus until I read the title of the article again and saw the word "obscure", which obviously removes games like Goldeneye from the running.
