All N64 Games #336: Daikatana
John Romero’s Daikatana was supposed to be the next biggest thing in video games. A new, much more cinematic, first person shooter from the creator of DOOM and Quake, without any higher ups getting in the way of his creative vision.

All N64 Games #331: CyberTiger
Considering that Mario Golf was a surprisingly serious golf game, it’s appropriate that the Tiger Woods game on N64 is completely silly.

All N64 Games #330: Hydro Thunder
I’ve expressed my dislike of “catchup” racing games where it takes most of the race to even reach the leaders, yet sometimes, a racing game can be so enjoyable, that I can look past that part of the game and just enjoy the core racing experience.

All N64 Games #328: Jeremy McGrath Supercross 2000
Not long after EA’s Supercross 2000 comes Acclaim’s Supercross 2000. This is very similar in terms of modes and features, but the handling feels quite different

All N64 Games #325: Randnet Disk
The Randnet Disk for the 64DD isn’t really a game, but I thought it was interesting enough to talk about.

All N64 Games #324: NBA In the Zone 2000
This is such a boring game to talk about, that the most interesting thing I can point out is that this game kept the name “In the Zone” in PAL regions.

All N64 Games #323: ECW Hardcore Revolution
While it’s very easy to see the progression in Aki’s N64 wrestling games, it’s just as easy to see the lack of progression in Acclaim’s.

All N64 Games #322: Tarzan
This game, based on Disney’s Tarzan, doesn’t even try to tell a story. There’s no text between levels, no cutscenes. So instead, it’s just a story about a young boy that murders every animal in the jungle.

All N64 Games #321: Ridge Racer 64
Ridge Racer was a massive success on PlayStation, and Namco were not very interested in the N64. Instead of working on an N64 version of Ridge Racer, they allowed Nintendo to develop and publish their own Ridge Racer game

All N64 Games #320: Vigilante 8: Second Offence
This was one of my multiplayer favourites as a kid, although playing it again now, and I remember this having more stuff than it actually does.

All N64 Games #318: Virtual Pro Wrestling 2: Royal Road Succession
If you’re a fan of AKI’s wrestling game on the N64 and don’t mind the lack of famous Western wrestlers, then Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 is something very much worth checking out.

All N64 Games #317: Goemon Mononoke Sugoruku
There’s no good way to translate “Goemon Mononoke Sugoruku”. Mononoke are a kind of vengeful spirit, but can also be a term for a shapeshifting creature, while Sugoruku refers to one of two board games, in this case a very simple roll and move board game.
