I don’t see many posts here about the N64 and it doesn’t look like there is an N64 community on lemmy.world It’s the console I have the most nostalgia for and I have over 130 games in my collection. I’m currently playing a ROM hack called SM64: Beyond the Cursed Mirror. It has some pretty challenging platforming but it is fun.
I love the N64 despite growing up with a PSX… I always was jealous of not having one when watching those Pokemon Stadium TV ads!
Low framerates, extremely close draw distances, and odd controller make it less appealing to most retro gaming fans that don’t have nostalgia for the system. That’s not to say you shouldn’t go ham on some Buck Bumble or Doom 64, but it does explain why it’s not as active as some other platforms.
I have so many fond memories of playing Superman 64 (and it’s multiplayer) and wave race with my dad.
I miss him so much.
Did anyone play Road Rash 64? It’s absolutely my guilty pleasure. The fact the the entire island existed and you could just drive off course for miles blew me away. The wrecks were ridiculous, and the jankiness had a charm to it.
Didn’t know it was on the 64, played road rash on the 3DO my friend had and loved it tho, must have been better on the 64 though
With the classic 3DO game and the playstation games, everything was sprite-based. With Road Rash 64, everything was modeled in 3D polygons. If you crashed, you’d go FLYING off the course and end up in some field somewhere. When you crossed the finish line, your character would slow to a stop, and if you’re lucky enough to have an NPC end up right next to you, you could smack them until the fell off their bike as the leader board rolled out. My friend and I laughed so much back in the day.
N64 was the couch coop king. There were so many to choose from. Me and my buddies would get together and destroy each other on several different games back then. It was a blast.
Although online games are pretty nice for me now since we all have moved on to different locations.
