Ah how I wish Conker could get released on the VC, but with the Rare issue and the fact Ninty didnt even publish it (THQ did), its unlikely.

Hmm, Jet Force was a gem. BK was good, as was DK64. Yoshi was not bad, but was a bit short and easy. Tooie I never played, but it was Banjo so it had to be good. The Bommermans were okay (I believe there was a Bommerman 64 2, which never made it to Europe). The others I havent played, but I did hear good things about

Glover
Mischief Makers
Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon
Mystical Ninja 2 Starring Goemon
Castlevania
Castlevania Legacy of Darkness
Shadowman
Mega Man 64

The others I heard were either adverage or poor.

Never realised Tonic Trouble came out on the N64. Got the PC version with a PC I bought in '98 and absolutely loved it. I suppose I would have classified it more as a platform-adventurer than a pure platformer but that's all sematics. Great game, needs to be released.

Bomber Man 64







Bomberman 64 is a 3D action/adventure-> puzzle solving, cards collecting, costumes finding for customize character in battle mode.
the battle mode was in 3D. there were many cool arenas all with their own de
4 player mode. battle mode was great. solo adventure is better than in most Bombermans with actually an interesting plot and some twists. the stages are varied enough and offer plenty fine puzzle solving and bomb throwing/kicking. big endbosses, some helpers, and big explosions. i think it was the best bomberman ever made with some great tunes.
but some may find it to blocky in the first world and get turned off. graphically it get its job done but its all about gameplay.

Mischief Makers





Back in time, december 1997 i got this as a christmas gift ^^
One of my best christmas gifts i ever got anyway.
This game surprised me many times and within spending months on it I began to love it.
This is Treasures personal highlight. No Gunstar Heroes, no Dynamite Headdy. Mischief Makers is of course the newer one, but it is also better in everything. This world is very interactive, shaking, throwing, boosting, fighting, grabbing, jumping, you can even take weapons, ride on many different vehicles. you switch characters and play the role of one of these funny people there, on your mission on the long way to help them from... very big endbosses!

Quirky characters on a unique weird planet, music, atmosphere, story, yes you can talk to the people in many missions. and some missions are just for story so it's not always action, action, action, but much of it yeah. excellent action.

yes each mission is just different and good designed. so many strategies involved. so perfect controls.
come on if you just anyhow like action platformers, i would not miss out on that one. trust me on this, if you get into this game you will fall deep.

it may have the same graphical style (3d rendered figures with 2d backgrounds and 3d effects) as yoshi's story. but that's all that's the same.
it has very different artwork and graphic style.

but in terms of game quality yoshi's story is nowhere near mischief makers.

Mischief Makers might as well be the best damn game on the N64. It rarely leaves my console.

I didnt buy Mischief Makers because every magazine said it was average at best is it really that good.

This was the game that made me a fan of Treasure. I have come back and beaten it at least four times, and I love pretty much every level. It's a great, great game and I mean it.
