Beetle Adventure Racing is a surprisingly good racer for the N64.

Super Smash TV on SNES... :wink:

I'd buy that for a dollar!... :P

I was thinking of robotech too. Thought that was cancelled. I vaguely remember robotron but never played it.

I also mistook robotica for saturn as having something to do with robotech.

I was thinking of Robotech 64 earlier, it was delayed.
What do you think of it? I just got mine in a few days ago and I'm loving it! Not as intense or nearly as hard as the original (so far, I only got to wave 12 before I had to save and get back to work), but immensely fun nonetheless.

I still haven't got it. Haven't seen it at a store yet. I remember seeing it in the past though. Funny how that works out sometimes.

The dpad moves you and the c buttons work for shooting right? I'm hoping to get a twinstick thing setup for when I do get the game.

The joystick also works for movement, which I find a bit easier than the d-pad.

The N64 has the best Kart Racer and Arcade Racer library ever. Here are just a few great racing games for the system (All extremely affordable):
F-Zero X
Diddy Kong Racing
Beetle Adventure Racing
Rush 2
Cruis'n USA
Wave Race

And those are just a few. Soooo many great racing games for N64. Also for fighting games definitely pick up Killer Instinct Gold, that game is fantastic.

The one that comes to mind is Jet Force Gemini. Not only is it one of the best games on the system, you can ONLY play it on the Nintendo 64. It hasn't been re-released anywhere.

That makes it a true must-have game for me.

Robotron 64 also has a great co-op mode.
