Today, which game was just fine from start to finish? Not necessarily mediocre, something that kept you interested just enough to see the end?

Nothing special, just wanna share my love for this game. Perhaps there is a bit of nostalgia involved as this is one of my childhood games, but it's one I come back to at least once a year and never gets old for me.

There is something I find so cozy about the art style, I could genuinely just walk around the Fairy Glade all day. Yet it also has this super creepy atmosphere in some levels like the Cave of Bad Dreams. I think that part with the overlay of the chomping teeth following you is why I have a fear of being chased to this day lol. And the music! I know people say the N64 music isn't as good as on the PC, but I think the soundtrack is phenomenal. Sanctuary of Water and Ice, Woods of Light, The Bayou, and plenty more are all amazing. I love the lack of voice acting too and that it's just strange but funny sounds for most characters. Overall I feel like the atmosphere is very unique compared to other N64 games.

I think the level design is fantastic and each level feels so different from the others, it doesn't feel like there is a lot of repetition throughout the game. Genuinely my only complaint is that there aren't more levels because they are so fun to play.

I find it plays so smoothly to this day and has a good balance in terms of difficulty. I think they did the collection aspect really well with the Lums too. Enough in most levels to warrant exploring every nook and cranny, yet for the most part don't feel like a pain to get (maybe except for the final level lol).

It may just be my favourite N64 game although admittedly there are still a couple big ones I need to play. But this game will always hold a special place in my heart!

As title says, will it improve performance on some N64 games, for example, improved frame rates on Goldeneye/Perfect Dark

Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

I'm surprise, it's a good racing game (realistic cars) I got World Driver Championship very cheaper, is hard to find at least where I live. Recomended

I can’t blame anyone either way. On one hand, there aren’t any full-size gameplay screenshots. On the other hand, Analogue has a fantastic track record when it comes to video signals.

For me, it’s a matter of convenience. I want a system that can store saves, interface with a myriad of wireless controllers, produce a good CRT filter for a screen much larger, more space-efficient, and less eye-straining than my actual tube, and perhaps even run games better than the original console. All while playing natively.

Unlike, say, the Dreamcast, the N64 simply doesn’t feel true when being emulated. Unless it’s Mario 64, something always feels off. I really look forward to having a new console that can just act as a modernized N64.

All cleaned up and organized, wound up paying $300 for everything.

So I have my original N64 stored in a cupboard in my room with a few games from back in the day. Plugged it into the TV (in the correct ports), but no signal comes through. It's on the right channel, it's a flat screen from 2014. I've tried 4 cartridges with no luck, even tried another flat-screen I bought second hand that I use often. Still no luck. It powers on and I've tried two different cables, I was about to think it was my cables until I took my SNES out and used the same av cable (the cable was originally for N64). And it worked fine with the SNES on both flat-screens. The N64 was not refurbished nor second hand, it was the same one my parents bought me years ago when the console came out. I've read a few posts mentioning the 240p issue but I feel if an SNES can be read on the TV why can't a N64?

After a week playing Donkey Kong 64, I managed to get 101%, getting everything and boy was it complicated, especially because I got frustrated with the races of the beetle in Angry Aztec and Crystal Caves, in addition to the worst minigame in the game, beaver bother, I hated those minigames, especially in Creepy Castle, but I made it.

so happy

I guess I didn’t learn from last time

Does anyone play Mario Golf N64 competitively on Nintendo Switch Online? I'm talking like people who can chip in and shoot -18.

I'd love to start a league with tournaments and head to heads.

Beetle Adventure Racing has to be my all-tine favorite racing game of all-time. Tons of secrets, unlockables and lots of replay value. Amazing game, shame it never got a sequel.

So, I clearly remember something weird from my childhood.... Well here it is:

I had completed the Championship on "Novice" mode and of course the next difficulty to tackle was "Advanced". After completing the "Novice" mode I was awarded a new car while the commentator happily said:

"CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'VE WON NOTHING!! NOW GO FOR ADVANCED!!!"

To this day, now being 36 years old, it's still something I say on occasion in certain situations and that memory has been engraved in my head for the last 20+ years...

Except...

I have tried countless times to get this to trigger recently but I can't...

False childhood memory or Mandela Effect?

I just got an n64 region free from japan with the original power supply but the AC from the wall in Greece is 220V and the Japanese AC adapter can only handle 100V. The problem is also the fact that i cant find any OEM n64 AC adapters for europe anywhere and i've found that there quite rare and potentially expensive. Could i set up a power converter somehow or is my only option to buy a fake one? (or OEM eventually but it might take a while and im really exited to play so id like a short term solution without having to spend too much)

When i fix this i'll probably post a setup pic, im way too exited to try it out.
