Some of the few games mentioned in here I still own. Hybrid Heaven, mystical ninja, mischief maker. I also own that more rare version of Indiana Jones and the infernal machine. This thread def takes me back.

Not sure what a new Jet Force Gemini would bring to the current marketplace since there have been many 3rd person shooters released since then, but man, that was such a fun game and would love to see it brought back to life.

Rocket: Robot on Wheels

One of the best 3D platformers ever created.

You stole my post!

Rocket: Robot on Wheels is amazing!

 

[-MD-]

I need to revisit some of these games and play others I passed on as a kid. I somehow still haven't played Jet Force Gemini or Blast Corps.

 

[IncognitoPanda]

Underrated games for the N64. I don't have any examples personally besides

Apprently there is some game featuring this car

that is supposedly good.

ABSOULTELY LOVED Cruis'n the World. I didn't get why people often seemed to prefer Cruis'n USA instead. I've played so much CtW as a kid, getting all the cars, even the Speed Demon. Loved it so much. And I got the game by chance from my father as well!

With that said, Rush was also pretty awesome.

 

[blame space]

you guys ever play snowboard kids

 

[REDSLATE]

Despite all its flaws, this game left a huge imprint on me

Blast Corps was complete garbage IMO

I don't think Shadows of the Empire was underrated.

I don't think this game was underappreciated back when the N64 was still 'the thing', but nowadays, it's certainly become lost in regards to retro game discussion. This game is still a blast to play to this day. The third person mechanics are definitely clunky and all, but I'm still pretty impressed by the opening Hoth level, the realistic storm trooper movements, flying the Millenium Falcon, and rocketing around Tatooine in a death race sort of scenario.

Nice thing, too, is that you can get it pretty cheap if you still have an original N64.

Ahem... you fly the Outrider, sir.

Fighter Destiny 2. Why?

Fabien. This dapper motherfucker.

And a very good soundtrack.

 

[Chibot]

Doom 64- the best Doom campaign IMO.

 

[cyress8]

yep

Got my vote. Awesome game.

 

[Gabe3208]

I don't care what reviewers said. This game blew my 14 year old mind.

I used to love killing the piano guy in the embassy mission with the dart blower over and over and over again!!!

I'd do some bad things for a Mischief Makers sequel.

 

[RM8]

Fighter Destiny 2. Why?

Fabien. This dapper motherfucker.

And a very good soundtrack.

The first one had awesome music too. In a better world, we would have a Fighters Destiny 3

Came here to say this

 

[Aesius]

I seem to remember Chameleon Twist being an extremely easy game. I think I beat it easily within the first two or three days of renting it, and that was pretty rare for me back then.

 

[Arkage]

One might think this is a crappy port of Doom to the 64, but it was actually awesome. A creepy ambient soundtrack, many new levels, the Unmaker weapon, more demonic artwork. Definitely worth a play through if you're a fan of the series.

Also:

Rush 2149
Jet Force Gemini
Extreme G
Operation Winback

Word up, mate. Always loved the unique take it had on the scoring system as opposed to its contemporaries. Plus, cow. More fighting games need a cow.

 

[Forsaken82]

But.... Everybody knows these two are awesome :/

Blast Corps received like mid 7s in reviews... in my opinion that is extremely underrated for that title.

I totally need to start reading dates of threads... ;/

 

[RayearthRob]

Space Station Silicon Valley. Very unique gameplay and it was rewarding figuring out which animal to use to progress. Framerate dipped a lot but it didn't hinder my enjoyment much.

this!!!!

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

When I was a young teen, that boss fight in the junk yard with w robot and the noise it made scared the shit out of me in SOTE.

 

[Easy_G]

Operation Winback.

Suddenly, I'm 12 again. ;_

I'll add this:

Winback was fantastic. I was so pumped for that game. I think my excitement for the game was better than the game itself though. The plot and cutcscenes were hilariously awful.
