All N64 Games #309: Roadsters
Roadsters is very much a refined sequel to Automobili Lamborghini. You can tell it’s built upon the same game engine, and many elements feel incredibly similar – including the very odd mix of realistic and arcade elements.

All N64 Games #308: Asteroids Hyper 64
Considering that the original Asteroids just consisted of a simple black background with a white outline, it’s a very impressive feat that the N64 version of the game manages to look worse.

All N64 Games #307: Doshin the Giant
The second 64DD launch title was Doshin the Giant, a game that got a bit more attention when the GameCube version came out.

All N64 Games #306: Mario Artist Paint Studio
As this is the first 64DD game, I’ll talk a little bit about the device itself. It was an add-on to the N64 which would have provided a slot for a new kind of media.

All N64 Games #305: Worms Armageddon
The PC version of Worms Armageddon is a game that Team17 have never been able to live up to. Many Worms games have come and gone since, yet Armageddon still lives on

All N64 Games #304: Armorines: Project S.W.A.R.M.
When Starship Troopers became a big hit, Acclaim wanted to cash in on its success. Instead of trying to work out a licensing deal, they looked at their comic catalogue and realised one of them was a sci-fi marine comic.

All N64 Games #303: Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness
Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness is a bit of an odd game. It’s sort of a new game, but also isn’t.

All N64 Games #302: Custom Robo
Every now and then, a game I would have never expected to like will surprise me, making me very glad that I’m doing these playthroughs.

All N64 Games #301: Xena: Warrior Princess: The Talisman of Fate
In 1999, two Xena games were released. The PlayStation got a hack-n-slash adventure, while the N64 got a fighting game.

All N64 Games #300: Top Gear Rally 2
While I’ve spoken about Saffire games before, their earlier N64 games had all been ports, making this their first fully developed N64 game (with their second coming out a week after this).

All N64 Games #299: Puyo Puyo~n Party
Also known as Puyo Puyo 4 (I can only guess that the ~n is partly due to Japanese superstitions about the number 4), this brings the core gameplay back to Puyo Puyo 2

All N64 Games #298: Bomberman 64: The Second Attack!
While Bomberman Hero was distantly different to Bomberman 64, being developed as a separate project entirely, Bomberman 64: The Second Attack is a direct sequel.

All N64 Games #297: Space Invaders
Like Paperboy, this is another sequel to a classic game that annoyingly just uses the original name – although in this case it’s only outside of Japan, where it was called Space Invaders X.

All N64 Games #296: Nuclear Strike 64
The [BLANK] Strike series of isometric helicopter shooters was a big part of my early childhood, playing games like Desert Strike and Jungle Strike on my Mega Drive.

All N64 Games #295: NBA Jam 2000
Sports games evolved as the N64 got older, with more realistic looking players, better animation, smoother gameplay, and better visual effects. NBA Jam 2000 didn’t get the memo.

All N64 Games #294: Elmo’s Number Journey
With this, I wasn’t expecting any differences from Elmo’s Letter Adventure and, while the game is mostly the same, I was quite surprised by the actual differences.

All N64 Games #293: HSV Adventure Racing
Unfortunately, this is not a sequel or new instalment in the Beetle Adventure Racing series, but rather an alternative version.

All N64 Games #292: Namco Museum 64
At this point, Namco Museum was a series with multiple volumes on the PlayStation, each featuring six classic Namco arcade games. The six chosen for the N64 are a particularly strong selection.

All N64 Games #291: Turok: Rage Wars
Taking a departure from the usual single-player focused Turok games, Rage Wars is focused entirely on multiplayer.

All N64 Games #290: Donkey Kong 64
After doing a great job with Donkey Kong Country on the SNES, Rare were given the job of bringing Donkey Kong into 3D.
