I was playing the Conker remake (which kinda loses some of the charm, I'll admit...), and decided to watch the uncensored great mighty poo battle and holy shit this game looks great on the console. (yes I know it runs at 30 frames and dips a bit.)

The sound is phenomenal for the system as well. Are there better games or is this one the best?

(images aren't mine)

as well as
Rock Solid
and
Count Batula

edit: can't find a non blurry screen on my iphone, somebody get me a good pic of the spooky level or something pretty!

 

[Macho Madness]

Those are emulated pics.

 

[MrNyarlathotep]

In before 20 replies saying Rogue Squadron

 

[OnettHansen]

I expect this thread to have a lot of Ocarina of Time in it.

 

[Manmademan]

Those are emulated pics.

yeah, the FPS in the bottom makes it REALLY obvious.

your TV doesn't do that?

[Mauricio_Magus]

Conker was beautiful

 

[inner-G]

Dat bit mapped dialogue bubble against the hi-res model

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Turok 2, Forsaken 64, Perfect Dark 64, Doom 64, Resident Evil 2, Blast Corps, DK64, and Conker.

 

[Dion Blaster]

All things considered (music, sound effects, jingles, ambient noise) Mario 64 has the best sound.

For any game ever imo, not just the 64.

 

[daripad]

Mario Kart 64 has some great music.

 

[ctothej]

Perfect Dark, as long as framerate isn't part of the equation.

 

[Meccanical]

I was gonna say Starfox but OP's right, Conker looked really freakin' good.

Jet Force Gemini did as well.

 

[Arya Stark]

No one is a winner if we use non-emulated screens.

 

[nordique]

I always felt perfect dark was very impressive, as were Rares other games.

Majora was a stunner as well

 

[sixteen-bit]

Ogre Battle 64 baby

 

[katkombat]

Those are emulated pics.

shit sorry, straight from gamefaqs

 

[Ragnarok]

Conker definitely. Banjo 2 also looked great for the time.


And that game ran at like 20fps with dips, not 30 haha.

 

[soxinthebox]

Turok 2 and Rogue Squadron were the standouts for me at the time. Once I popped that expansion pack in for Turok 2... drool.

Spoiler

Revisiting it in 2013 is a disappointment since it's tough to play in such a low frame rate.

 

[katkombat]

Conker definitely. Banjo 2 also looked great for the time.


And that game ran at like 20fps with dips, not 30 haha.

my brain must be failing me lol. if it ran that low I never noticed! can't wait to snag another copy this weekend. <3

 

[Vic20]

Conker was beautiful

Yup, Conker all the way!

 

[Scum]

Turok 2: Seeds of Evil
Jet Force Gemini
Rogue Squadron
Perfect Dark
Forsaken 64.

Essentially anything from Rare and Akklaim.

 

[katkombat]

Feel free to correct me with shots from other games as well.

I should've said that Conker is my favorite game of all time, I'm a fanboy haha.

 

[oatmeal]

Ogre Battle 64 baby

I bought this on the Wii VC...not sure why...haven't touched it.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Rareware game thread? Rareware game thread.

Agree. Rare did some incredible things with Perfect Dark.

Having said that, Perfect Dark Vs. Conker's Bad Fur Day?

 

[weevles]

Besides Conker? Banjo, DK64, Perfect Dark.

Most of the games are pretty good graphics-wise, it's just TVs at the time couldn't really handle...

 

[spliced]

Wave Race and Banjo-Kazooie booth looked great.

 

[dog$]

Waverace 64.

 

[dezzy8]

Star Fox looked amazing.

 

[CaptainGyro]

Rayman 2 sonny

 

[oatmeal]

Waverace 64.

I agree with this. I just played it yesterday on my Wii and it looks fantastic.

I'm so bummed we don't have an HD one yet. At least announced.

 

[Kid Ying]

I don't know the best looking, but the game with the best sound is Mystical Ninja starring Goemon by a freaking mile. There's no other N64 game that even put a dent on this one. Great songs, some of them even got vocals. It was amazing for it's time

 

[SolidSnakesMyStepDad]

What comes to mind is Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie

 

[DiscoJer]

Rogue Squadron? That was the best looking game I owned at least.

 

[katkombat]

Agree. Rare did some incredible things with Perfect Dark.

Having said that, Perfect Dark Vs. Conker's Bad Fur Day?

I'd say Conker, this may not be a fair comparison, but, PD used the expansion pak where Conker did not. (don't ask me how rare did that...)

 

[Inspectah_Deck]

Conker, allll the way Conker.
It pushed the N64 to it´s absolute limits.
It has also one of the biggest ROMs for the N64, 512Mbit.

Best Soundtrack also.
Absolutely love this track:

[Cess007]

TLoZ: Majora's Mask
Perfect Dark 64

 

[Zocano]

Put my vote in for Banjo Kazooie. Maybe Tooie. Tooie had some really good shadows on the models from what I remember.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

I'd say Conker, this may not be a fair comparison, but, PD used the expansion pak where Conker did not. (don't ask me how rare did that...)

I meant in terms of visuals, and I think the Expansion pack does not disqualify titles from the contest. I thought Conker was considered to be the best.

 

[MYE]

FUCKING TUROK 2: SEEDS OF EVIL is definitely up there!!

Goddamn son!!! they dont make FPS OSTs like this anymore
So good

Also

Looked awesome!

 

[rjc571]

Absolutely, unequivocally Sin & Punishment. It's really the only N64 game that stands the test of time visually.

 

[Maddux4163]

Goldeneye 007 to me. Game was simply brilliant in every way

 

[Spazznid]

Goldeneye 007 to me. Game was simply brilliant in every way

And Perfect Dark was better in every way.

Spoiler

maybe not including story, but at least it told it's story better

 

[nizerifin]

Jet Force Gemini! Would love a sequel, Rare. Rare? Hello? [Silence]

 

[Seik]

I'm with you, OP. Conker was the shit back then. Music and graphics wise.

 

[DonMigs85]

Many of the later releases by Rare and Nintendo featured Dolby Surround.
Banjo-Tooie even had a 16:9 option.

 

[LiK]

Every N64 game looked liked ass even when I played it back then. Only OoT impressed me because of the world and music.

 

[burgervan]

Yoshi's Story was gorgeous.

 

[Manus]

Turok 2 for sure.

I always got stuck at Lair of the Blind Ones. Could never get past that level as a kid.
