All N64 Games #210: G1 Stable
Unfortunately, G1 Stable is a Japanese-only game which is just too complicated for me to understand how it fully works.

All N64 Games #209: Bottom of the 9th
Bottom of the 9th feels like an early third party N64 game. It looks and feels incredibly basic. The N64 has had an ungodly amount of baseball games by this point, yet Bottom of the 9th feels like it should have been the very first one.

In the world of Onegai Monsters, when kids turn 10 years old, they can become a monster trainer.

All N64 Games #207: NBA In The Zone ’99
Compared to the previous NBA In the Zone, this feels slightly smoother in terms of running around with players, which is useful as passing is pointless and running close to the net and scoring is the best tactic.

All N64 Games #206: All-Star Baseball 2000
So I was surprised with All-Star Baseball 2000 when I could actually hit the ball reasonably well, and it wasn’t caught instantly. I actually had some fun with it.

All N64 Games #205: NHL Blades of Steel ’99
Another ice hockey game, and this one is rather drab. Everything seems very washed out, and the “ice” looks like a strange mottled grey carpet rather than ice.

All N64 Games #204: Charlie Blast’s Territory
I’m going to start off by talking about a seemingly unrelated series of games: The Crazy Castle games. They started off with a Roger Rabbit maze game in Japan.

All N64 Games #203: Rampage 2: Universal Tour
In terms of gameplay, Rampage 2 doesn’t do anything to improve of its earlier N64 game, and it wasn’t particularly entertaining back then. It’s something that can be fun for a short burst in an arcade, but the novelty wears thin very quickly.

All N64 Games #202: Lode Runner 3-D
Lode Runner is a long-going puzzle series that still has the odd release now, although most seem to be updated version of the original. The N64 version brought the franchise into 3D.

All N64 Games #201: Super Bowling
There doesn’t seem to be a great deal of information on Super Bowling – it’s the first game I’ve found that seems to have no guides or proper cheats, the main notable thing about it is that the US version is a rare game, due to being Blockbuster exclusive.

All N64 Games #200: Power Pros Baseball 6
I’m not really sure what else I can say about this franchise – it was a yearly release in Japan and the core gameplay never really seemed to change much.

All N64 Games #199: Triple Play 2000
Yet another company trying their hand at a baseball game, although this series had already been on the PlayStation. This baseball game does stand out from the others on the N64 – for both good and bad reasons.

All N64 Games #198: Micro Machines 64 Turbo
While the only Micro Machine toys I remember having were the Star Wars playsets, the Micro Machines video games on the Mega Drive were a big part of my early childhood.

All N64 Games #197: Beetle Adventure Racing!
Beetle Adventure Racing has a rather odd story of how it was created. EA gave a team the task of making a Need for Speed for the N64. Instead of doing this, they developed their own idea for a car game, one they felt suited the N64 more.

All N64 Games #196: Pokémon Snap
This is a game I had as a kid, and I ended up trading it in because of how much is annoyed me. All these years later, I still have the same major problem with the game

All N64 Games #195: The Game of Life 64
When it comes to making a video game version of The Game of Life, the Japanese publisher Takara haven’t just made a digital recreation of the board game, but have instead properly adapted the game to take advantage of being a video game.

All N64 Games #194: King of Pro Baseball 2
King of Pro Baseball 2 feels a lot more stable and smooth than the first game.

All N64 Games #193: Sumo 64 2
I really enjoyed the first Sumo 64 game, much to my surprise. It had simple but quick gameplay, and an intriguing story that went a bit off the rails (in a fun way) by the end.

All N64 Games #192: California Speed
California Speed seems like what the Cruis’n games would be like if they were competently made.

All N64 Games #191: Vigilante 8
I remember having a lot of fun with the sequel to Vigilante 8, Second Offence, but never played the first.
