So, the N64 is 30 years old, eh? We should probably turn back to our copious physical collection and play through some of the system's very bes—oh no, what's happened to all the boxes??
After our far-from-pristine NES collection last year, you would have thought that we might have kept better care of our beloved N64 physicals, but no! It looks like a bunch of them have been mangled up again, so can you help us decipher which is which?
We've got 20 beat-up boxes for you to identify below. Good luck!
(Note: No N64 boxes were harmed in the making of this quiz.)

I got 15/20 which is better than I expected considering I've never touched an N64 game.
Also, "Waiter, more quizzes please."
18/20 (have heard of the games I got wrong, but I've barely if ever seen their box arts before), time 02:26 so currently rank 6th out of 56 and I'm the only one on the leaderboard - great quiz and yet another fun way to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the N64!
19 out of 20, the only one I got wrong was the Killer Instinct one.
Got Rayman wrong. The only one that mattered 😑
19/20 all too easy. Just messed up on Pilot Wings.
20/20. That's what happens when you browse the NSO app and the quiz uses nothing but covers from games available on it.
EDIT: Took me a while to notice Tusk's double sword PINGAS on the cover of Killer Instinct Gold.
20/20 one of my favourite consoles, love the boxarts of that gen
18/20. Clicked too fast at killer instinct and wasn’t sure about banjo kazooie.
20/20 and 2nd on the table (at time of writing)
Worth the 35 quid a year for NSO + Expansion Pack subscription just for the bragging rights
.....maybe. I doubt anyone cares.
20/20. I owned many of these and displayed the boxes in my room when I was younger, so this was quite the trip down memory lane.
19/20. Almost perfect but I guessed Wave Race 64 instead of Pilotwings 64.
Well, that was easy. I was worried there would be some obscure games on here but everything is available on NSO.
16. Happy with that 👍
...I guessed on some of them because I never played the games, so...eh...14
Somehow only missed two... meh.
That was tough! Admittedly I made some amateur mistakes. Of course that’s Yoshi’s Story. There is no Island for N64. Derp.
14/20
Okay, that second to last one was cheap. Never released on the console itself, at least in the States/with that boxart. So, of course I didn't know it. 19/20 for me. My one shot at getting a perfect score from one of your quizes and I'm foiled again.
18/20, woohoo!
I always love these quizzes on NL
easiest 20/20
19/20. Just missed on Blast Corps
20 out of 20 I'm a bonified N64 Expert! It also helps that its my favorite childhood console
16/20. A couple games I wasn't familiar with, a couple games I just guessed wrong.
20/20...my first ever perfect score! These box arts are just so iconic.
that was really fun, wish i did better but i'd love to see more of this
It was a cute idea,
but far, far too easy.
Perfect score! I know my N64. Still one of my favorite systems. I still enjoy playing most of these games on my Analogue 3D.
18/20, can't believe I got my all time fave game wrong, Super Mario 64 😅
17/20, although at least #9 was a lucky guess.
18/20.
This was fun! Please can you do another one for Snes games? Or another round of N64?
20/20 and apparently 7th out of 1,603! Years of browsing Nintendo Classics paid off big-time lol
I'm surprised I got all of them. Even though that Sin & Punishment cover isn't official because, as they said, it didn't release outside Japan on the original hardware.
I only got the Mario Party 3 cover because I distinctly remember the cowboy hats of the MP2 cover.
I realize from the options that Yoshi's Story was the only Yoshi game on N64. The rest weren't even on N64.
This was tres fun (I got 19 not 20 though darnit)
@AdmiralBribery None of the other options were even on N64.
I saw Puyo Puyo 64 and I thought "that wasn't released in the west, so it can't be" and then the fake Sin & Punishment cover came up.
19/20. The only one I failed was Excite Bike 64. A game I've never played
You scored 15/20. Never owned N64.
Too easy. I mean, I (or my friends) owned most of these so
...
All the Thab videos I’ve been watching recently really helped with this one!
20/20, would have gotten a slightly better time if I had better cell service but pretty happy with my result.
I got half of them right.....which is honestly a good bit higher than I expected since it's N64.
19/20. Missed Rayman 2
I got all of them except Mario Party. I knew it was a Mario party, just not which one. The rest I would have known even without multiple choice!
This quiz was built for me
I enjoyed that. Please do more quizzes like this. A 'Mangled Megadrive Box Art' quiz would be great.
17/20 - I got Pokémon Puzzle League, Excitebike and Kirby and the Crystal Shard wrong. For some reason the Excitebike box isn't familiar to me. I don't recall ever seeing it in stores. The sponsors on the box made me think World Driver or Top Gear Rally. I went with the latter. As for Kirby, I should have got that one. The human characters threw me.
I picked the wrong Mario party 😭. Thanks for taking me back to the video rental shelves
They call me 0019
0 games played
0 questions from knowledge
19 questions correct
Got 20/20 in 1:44, presently ranked second. Not bad.
19/20. Never heard of Winback.
20/20, somehow. Awesome. Sadly not fast enough to make it onto the board though.
Nineteen right! I thought Perfect Dark was Turok!!
20/20 even though for some reason the quiz thought I picked Glover for Rayman 2. Boooooooooooo!
In seriousness that was great fun, and a couple of the last ones were genuine puzzlers.
Got up to 12, then the images ceased working.
17. Got the wrong mario party, never heard of extreme g, and i don't know what i was thinking on the f zero x one.
Man! The only one I missed was Banjo-Kazooie (I picked Tooie)
I feel cheated by that Sin and Punishment cover...considering its not even real English boxart. Could have at least used the actual original Japanese box art 😅
18/20. I Got Extreme G and Sin and Punishment wrong.
Clicked too fast on first Banjo option…. Which was Tooie, even though I was thinking that’s Banjo Kazooie! And never heard of Iggy's Reckin' Balls, wonder why.
Fun quiz, cheers!
I only got 2 wrong, one was Rayman 2.... fine. But the other was Mario 64 T_T!!!!!!
welp, turns in gamer card it's been a good run.
Somehow got 13, but honestly hadn’t even heard of half those games lol. I really need to brush up on my N64 knowledge!
Got every one but the first one which was a $#@%&!
Brutal. Had an N64, only owned about 5 games and apparently never looked at the boxes
19/20 and I was out for a few beers in this unbelievable heat. Yoshi’s island not lol was the one that done me not bad for an old man.
Good luck to all the other 40+ N64 veterans out there. "Never give up. Trust your instincts."
20/20, that was fun!!
Utterly deranged idea for a quiz.
Keep up the good work!
Managed 19/20, only got thrown by that Sin & Punishment one simply because it didn't get an actual western box art, only a digital one many years after the fact. Maybe if I'd paid better attention to the overall style of that ESRB rating that would've suggested it wasn't a contemporary N64-era cover (white-letter and black-letter centers were in use at various points in the contemporary N64-era, but white-banners didn't come around until the 2010s with black-banners being in use throughout the contemporary N64-era)...
That said, far too many people ended up straying into an obvious trap on that one; how did more than 30% think Turok 2 was T-rated fare back in the day, given it's one of the most well-known M-rated games in the entire N64 collection? The wrong answer I fell for was far lesser-known in comparison (didn't even think about that one's ESRB rating until after I'd finished taking the quiz--news flash, turns out all the wrong answers to that one are M-rated)...
18/20 - Rayman and Sin & Punishment threw me off.
@KingMike
Yes… rub the salt more into the wound 😂
@OorWullie I was thrown off by Excitebike as well. I don't recall the sponsors, but then again, I never paid much attention to it either. That was the only one I missed.
My score was 14 from 20.
This quiz was fun.
İt was easy.
19/20 and only missed the first one - oof
15 /20 , i was going by the colours . and most of my n64 titles where bought without boxes. so not that bad.
Wow! A lot of people have played this one. I got 20/20 and I’m all the way down in 577th!
20/20; never heard of Extreme G, but otherwise, Rayman and F-Zero were the only ones I found remotely difficult. First party N64 boxart in particular is just too iconic.
19/20.
Never was much of a Mario Party guy and it's the one that got me. I thought 3 was the one with the costumes and stuff!
Not sure that Sin & Punishment art was ever on a box Jim
20/20. Had to guess at the very last one because it was between 2 options, and the length of the obscured title gave it away.
19/20 only missed one and that was the Banjo - Kazooie cover because I thought it was the sequel.
