In hindsight I have no idea how I managed to play it this much at such absolutely horrendous FPS, but I burned hundreds of hours in that game. The bot AI was surprisingly good in local matches.
I never had the pleasure of owning an N64. I remember renting a machine when I was a kid and playing Super Mario. Is there any games you recommend for my retroarch machine?
Mario 64, Perfect Dark, Banjo-Kazooie, Conquer’s Bad Fur Day, Starfox 64, Mario Party, Pokémon Snap. The problem is most games have a GC sequel that was a massive improvement, like Super Smash Bros and Mario Kart, or they were dogshit but I was too young to know better. I end up playing more SNES games on my handheld emulator system because they couldn’t improve 2D games after 3D was doable.
I remember I recently replayed GoldenEye for the N64 at a local brewery and not knowing how to shoot someone. I was so used to modern controls that I felt disoriented playing the old controls.
I wish there was a mod that tried to mimic modern controls.
For real, I have a 8BitDo N64 controller conversation kit to make it a BT controller with a hall effect stick. Does not change a thing. Mario Kart’s controls are atrocious as the controls are for most games. I guess the 3Cs are hard when you are the first generation of 3D games.
Fighting words I know, but the best shooter on the N64 was NOT GoldenEye 007.
Jetforce Gemini, baby!!
Controls were dogshit, but then so were most games’ from that era.
The best shooter on the N64 was Perfect Dark.
It was GoldenEye but massively upgraded.
You all are forgetting banjo tooie!
Famous shooter Banjoe Tooie.

The only thing Goldeneye had better was higher framerate. And yes, I played against bots for countless hours. Except DarkSims. They were cheaters.
It is known.

The other comments have good suggestions, but I’ll Add Rogue Squadron. Ogre Battle 64 is also good if you like strategy RPGs.
Really never played another game quite like Ogre Battle 64, that one was great.
Check out Unicorn Overlord. It’s been touted as the spiritual successor to Ogre Battle, and I agree.
Oh nice, never heard of that one, thanks. I just revisit Ogre Battle 64 on the emulator every few years haha.

A dog with a jet pack and a gun. What’s not to love?
