Yup. I just ended up taking off stuff from my list instead. I doubt I'd want all the Bomberman 64 and Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness anyways. Ahhh!!!! Those are both excellent games. Bomberman Hero, as well. Not in my book. Not by the looks of it. At least get Bomberman Hero, its single player was pretty entertaining imo (though it has no multiplayer). Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness has such a great soundtrack and atmosphere that I really think you're missing out by not getting it (then again, this is coming from someone who doesn't particularly like the franchise as a whole so ymmv). What's your list looking like now? I could probably recommend a few that you're missing to round your collection up instead of down. I can understand that, it probably isn't that bad, but the problem is that I am a Castlevania fan, and an old-school one at that. In my eyes, Castlevania is supposed to be a straight-forward action game, not a Zelda clone. I was meerly going to get it for collection purposes, but the prices seem to exceed its true worth. I may get it if it comes to the VC, but otherwise I feel that its a part of Castlevania's history better left forgotten. Anyways, here's my complete N64 wishlist, if you're still interested: Nintendo 64 Wishlist wrote: 29 in total. 15 on Must-Buy List Bomberman 64 Donkey Kong 64 DOOM 64 Excitebike 64 Flying Dragon Goemon's Great Adventure Mischief Makers Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon Pilotwings 64 Rockets: Robots on Wheels Shadowgate 64: Trials of the Four Towers Turok: Rage Wars Turok: Dinosaur Hunter Turok 2: Seeds of Evil Wipeout 64 Maybe: Battle Tanx Beatles Racing Bomberman 64: The Second Attack Bomberman Hero Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness Conker Bad Fur Day Goldeneye 007 Jet Force Gemini Nightmare Creatures WinBack VC: Chameleon Twist Ogre Battle 64 Pokemon Snap Wave Race 64

NotEnoughGolds	122. Posted: Wed 14th Jul 2010 19:34 BST No Rush games? I definitely have to recommend Rush 2049. Then I'd recommend Extreme-G (high-speed racer) and Robotron 64 (a remake of Robotron 2084). I think I'll take another look when I got home and try to find games that I think are must-haves. Of the above 3, I think Rush 2049 is the only must-have, but the other two are quality titles as well. Robotron 64 can be played using two joysticks on two controllers!

The Dreamcast version of Rush 2049 is greatly improved over the N64 version, so I don't need the N64 version. Extreme-G wasn't really anything special, if I remember correctly, and I can get the far better Extreme-G 3 on the Gamecube for practically pennies. I really did consider getting Robotron 64, but after watching a video, it looked very slow-paced and mundane for a game of that type. Not my thing, really. They're still good picks, just not for me. I do look forward to seeing whatever else you can come up with.

So even if you have 2049 on the Dreamcast, you should give Rush 2 a try.

It's shame that about 50% of the N64 library is Nintendo/Rare... Actually, only about 20 or so games in the N64's library came from Nintendo - much less than any other generation. They relied much more on Rare, and even then they only put out maybe around 10 games. The problem is that they make up 50% of the games worth playing on it, and I didn't like half of what Nintendo put out, and I hated virtually every Rareware N64 game except for Donkey Kong 64 (and even then, that's mostly nostalgia talking). So basically my options are limited. In fact, I only have 15 N64 games currectly in my possession, including VC games, and I'm getting ready to sell half of them. Luckily its no longer my only console, but its still sad that I won't have much reason to play it like I used to.

NotEnoughGolds	128. Posted: Wed 14th Jul 2010 22:09 BST @Mickeymac - if I remember correctly, the later levels are pretty intense in Robotron. Obviously if you have XGIII and SFR2049DC there's no reasons to buy the N64 versions... yeah I'm going to have to double-check my games when I get home. @StarBoy: your mileage may vary

The problem is that it takes way too long to get to that point. Smash TV, Robotron 2084, and I MAED A GAM3 WITH ZOMBIES IN IT!!!!!!1 all became very intense very fast, and I liked that about them. Robotron 64 takes far too long to get any good.

CanisWolfred	130. Posted: Fri 16th Jul 2010 06:03 BST Okay, I'm not going through the entire 1000+ PSOne collection to try to find some good games, so I'll just ask here: Can anyone recommend some good PSOne games?

Tasuki	133. Posted: Fri 16th Jul 2010 07:49 BST Sorry bout that lol. Yeah Legend of Dragoon is a good one especially if you like RPGs. IMO its a better RPG than FF7. The story is a good one and it is 4 disc long but I found myself still interested in the Story line as I went from disc to disc. So few games do that when they are that long. Another good RPG is Suikoden if you dont have that one yet. Damn it now I am going to have to go and play Legend of Dragoon again.

Tasuki	136. Posted: Fri 16th Jul 2010 18:12 BST Another good but might be hard to find is Alundra its a zelda-typea game. I remember playing that game over and over untill I loaned it to someone and never got it back. Some other good RPGs are Breath of Fire III, Grandstream Saga. Spyro the Dragon is a good platform game if you like those kinda games, also you cant go wrong with the first 2 Twisted Metal games.

NotEnoughGolds	137. Posted: Fri 16th Jul 2010 19:55 BST Twisted Metal 2, Intelligent Qube Edit: Apparently I.Q. is rather pricey ($50+) unless you get the Japanese import ($5-$15) Unless PS1 is region-locked, I doubt buying the Japanese version would hinder the experience at all. You'd probably just hear "PERFECT!" in a different language. Edited on Fri 16th July, 2010 @ 19:58 by NotEnoughGolds

I can't believe I.Q. is so expensive. Oh! Some 3DO ports that are... almost as good on the PS. Road Rash 3D Return Fire
