closing out n64 weekend with the quotable one

9.5/10

Quotable, replayable, fun

I want to rate it 6.4 for the lulz.

Realistically, more like 7.5 -- it's decent for its time, nothing amazing, but the bad acting/writing is incredibly memorable and the game was worth replaying for score attacks a fair bit.

7 for SF64

N64 games not doing so hot (comparatively). What would score the best? Ocarina will have too many detractors. Majora? Paper Mario? Something low-playrate like Ogre Battle 64?

10 (Although I know my vote won't matter in the scheme of things.)

10/10

A defining game of my childhood and one I dearly love to this day. I probably have most of the script memorized and one of my college buddies has a core memory of me stumbling into my room blackout drunk, firing up the N64 and acing the hard route with zero recollection of doing so the next day

I would torch Majora, personally, but apparently everyone else loves it.

My answer's Mario Kart, but maybe that's my nostalgia glasses blinding me. Perfect Dark, perhaps.

MK64 definitely has its detractors, although I would also give it a high score

The correct answer is Blast Corps

blast corps rules. no idea how many people here have played it.

8.5

8/10

I kinda want to rate it higher, but it is a bit too shallow, and I've always despised how it didn't have a save system (I know it's a short game, but still...)

But to be fair, the gameplay is completely solid. It's a fun, arcade style shooter that is still a blast to play. The graphics and sound don't hold up, but for its time they were incredible. And while everyone makes fun of the voice acting, a FULLY VOICE ACTED GAME in 1997 in honestly stunning, and it deserves a ton of credit for it.

9/10
It's still the best game in the series, IMO

9.5

Best N64 game.

So glad I played this as a kid. It's the perfect game for replaying over and over, which isn't really how I play games nowadays.

Probably a 9 for me at the time but didnt hold up when I played it more recently.
