- Forsaken 64 is an awesome niche shooter. If you like Doom and Hexen, this is well worth looking into.
- Body Harvest is a quirky sci-fi sandbox title, that embodies the general mechanics of the GTA series (easy to say, since Rockstar developed this game before GTA)
- Blast Works is a nice little tank game were you relentlessly blow crap up. Tons of fun.

You might wanna try the Duke Nukem titles they released for N64. I've heard good things about them.
I'll look into the first two. Blast Works has been on my mind, but I wasn't sure how much I wanted it.

Duke Nukem I was questioning on whether to get on N64 or one of the other ports available. I love Nintendo, but this was a case of censoring that hurts the games... point itself. Duke Nukem has that, violence and sex grindhouse feel. Its like Gears of War without roided up dudes, it just doesn't feel right.

You bring up a wonderful point.

I suppose in that case, definitely stick with whatever uncensored versions you can play.

One more suggestion: Robotron 64

Have you checked into Mischief Makers at all?

It's a Treasure-developed side-scroller that is easily one of the coolest games on the console.

Here's a HG101 article on it if you're interested: http://hardcoregaming101.net/mischiefma ... makers.htm

The following is the list I'm looking at, and I'm still open to other titles. (?= I'm not sure)

Harvest Moon (Already Owned.)Doom 64
Majora's Mask
Hexen 64
Blast Works

Starcraft 64?-I know the PC version is cheap, but I don't have a USB mouse for my laptop. Also somewhat of an oddity, being a console strategy game
Command and Conquer?-See above
Resident Evil 2?-Trying to play it on emulator, I was having trouble in the first section even. I had trouble with the tank controls. I also question how well I can deal with limited saves
Space Station Silicon Valley-Looks good, but the levels aren't huge, are they?
Conker's-Played until "Spooky" once on emulator. That in itself took a long time, and there was a glitch with a dropped key and save that caused it to be impossible to move on. I was kinda pushed off at that point.
Quake?-How's the controls? Goldeneye or Doom style?
Star Fox 64
Sin and Punishment


Open to others, or criticism on these.

Quake is Doom-ey, if you like those two, you'll probably like Hexen.

I think you misunderstood. I was asking if the controls were like Doom 64 or Golden Eye?

No I get what you were saying, the controls are more like Doom. I was just saying that Quake, Doom and Hexen are all pretty similar, gameplay and control-wise.

Was Nintendo actually responsible for the censorship on that?

Also Conker and Resident Evil 2 have trouble in a lot of emulators. You might have an easier time with them if you played on the actual hardware.

I believe so on Duke Nukem. I believe it was rules against pornography and drug use in games on there system.

I know the problems with emulation on those. I'm just wondering, are tank controls any better on the actual N64, or do I just suck with them. On Conker, I just wanted to know if the glitch was present in the actual game or not.

Resident Evil 2 is pretty interesting and enjoyable once you get used to the so called "tank controls" and the camera angles. I played it for a while on the N64 earlier. I got the hang of it a lot quicker than I did when I tried to play the original on the Playstation. By the way, are all Resident Evil games like that?
