Castlevania (64)
Chameleon Twist 2 (bought it purely based on Sunsoft logo.....then realized this was one of the last Sunsoft games ever made)
Body Harvest
Megaman 64
Jet Force Gemini
Pilotwings 64

What do you guys think of these?

Pilotwings and jet force gemini are pretty good, i want to punch myself in the face for not knowing that there was a mega man 64 XD

I haven't played the N64 port, but I greatly enjoyed the title for PS1, so if it's similar I'd say it was a good buy.

it's pretty much identical. Graphics don't have that weird ps1 "warping" effect but the audio is downsampled so voices sound kinda muffled.

The PS1 also had a farther draw distance, but no anti aliasing like the N64 version. However, you're correct in saying that the games are only marginally different. The N64 one is cheaper, though.

Yup, basically the N64 version is the prettier but worse sounding version. The price difference surprises me because I am sure the PS1 version sold a lot more copies back in the day!

The price difference is also marginal, by like $5-$10.

The fact that folks bash the n64 controller so much while they praise the dreamcast's is something I'll never understand... only thing I ever disliked about the n64 controller was its terrible control stick that broke all the time.

they BOTH suck.

Is there a decent N64 arcade stick and/or third party controller?
